The error occured on Linux which is where I do all my development. My preference would be able to use Mono on Windows as well so that I can build a log4net release for all supported platforms in a single build process. Unfortunately NAnt doesn't seem to detect any version of Mono I've installed on my Win7 VM at all. I tried Mono 3.12.1 and 4.4.2.11. Stefan

Ok, initial glance tells me that this could be fixed simply by updating the app.config file to look in the new *-api directories. I can try to fix this if time allows. Are you trying to build the log4net from the master branch? And what platform are you using to build?Linux? Thanks, Ryan > > Stefan

I went back to 3.12.1 after your comment but NAnt 0.92 still doesn't recognize Mono. On Linux things aren't really any better as NAnt considers Mono 4.x as "mono-4.5" framework and won't build anything at all as the framework is not supported.

No worries, I didn't take it as a slant. I was honestly saying that i hit a wall with it and was seeing if there were others on the list who would want to take a look at it to get it where you guys need it to be. Fyi - One thing i do know regarding NAnt, mono, and windows is that when they updated the installer for 4, they omitted the registry settings for the first couple of releases so NAnt couldn't find it. They put it back when i inquired about it but i think they changed the registry keys a bit. I remember working on it some months ago but i forgot how far i got or if i committed those changes. I would have to look. Hope that sheds some light for you guys. > > I wish I had time to contribute to NAnt, but you see yourself how little > I manage to contribute to log4net. I understand.

Ryan, I really appreciate NAnt and your work on it - and I think you know that. It has helped us tremendously. What I said wasn't intended as a slant against NAnt. I wish I had time to contribute to NAnt, but you see yourself how little I manage to contribute to log4net. Stefan

Hi Jim On 2016-09-08, Jim Christopher wrote: > I hear log4net needs some help. I'm happy to offer what time I can. this is great. > Please point me at something you'd like me to tackle. The log4net JIRA holds a lot of open tickets. Maybe something looks interesting to you. Right now I use the time I have on integrating the new .NET Core assemblies and nuget package creation with the NAnt build process in order to become able to cut a new release. It feels like this is only a short term solution as NAnt is becoming more of an obstacle than help by not supporting recent frameworks anymore. So I expect we'll start discussing alternative solutions soonish. What I wish I had time to look into is verifying that all tickets that have been resolved with target version 1.3.0 - a branch we've abandoned by now - have actually been ported back to trunk. I'm afraid we've missed some. Apart from that we know RollingFileAppender has a lot of issues, likely so many that writing a replacement might be in order. Please yell if something feels wrong and clumsy. Oh, if you intend to contribute more than just smallish patches it would be good if you signed a contributor's agreement - i.e. you legally allow the ASF to publish your contributions. https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas Cheers Stefan
