So you plan a comfort feature of implicitly resgening *.resx files to *.resources files (as seen in the csc task) for the al task too? I'd appreciate that. I'm asking because I'm doing a localized build (use of fallback *.resx- files compiled into the main assembly and localized satellite assemblies) of current Npgsql CVS (http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php) using NAnt and mostly all of my problems are outside of NAnt ([Linux] lack of Mono assembly linker; [Mono Windows] monoresgen failure (at least for default installation)). So does that mean you can't use localised resources on mono if there is no assembly linker ? It means you can't use satellite assemblies on mono as there's no way to compile them (actually I never tried to run mcs without *.cs files and only -resource:my.resource specified but I don't expect it to work ;-). You still can compile the whole set of resources into the main assembly using mcs and -resource:my.resource, or directly use the *.resources files from the application (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconretrievingresource sinresourcesfiles.asp?frame=true) (I never tried this too, I don't even know if the necessary classes are implemented - but in this case I expect it to work.) I personally expect the windows guys to use MS .Net (except developers who should speak English) and the linux guys to speak some English until mono provides an al. In Fact the only Nant-Problem (in my case) is the lack of a Prefix Attribute for the resgen-task (to prefix the namespace to the *.resources files) which I usually patch out for my own NAnt installation and fix by a script-task (ugly) for the public. OK - I'm going to fix that as well in the next day or so. Its a simple enough change. Thanks in advance.

I've checked the http://nant.sourceforge.net/todo.html and looks like we've silently got a lot of features planned for 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1 into the current version. yeah - thats well out of date. Now is definately a good time to revisit it and decide on the list of features/bug fixes for a 1.0 release. In my opinion, high on the list of things to do are : - support for building locazized applications (for both the compiler tasks and for the solution task) - datatype documentation - packaging (one distribution for all supported frameworks, or separate distributions) Note: I'm not saying these are all on MY to-do list :-) adding a nice GUI installer (I can make one using NSIS if you want), that would be great if you could. Its on my todo list but with quite a few other things in front of it. :) integrating some external GUI tools (like NAntMenu shell extension, script editor - is the idea still alive?) and it's ready to go. I contacted the author of NAntMenu to see if its ok to package. Waiting for his response. Another one is the NUnit2Report task which is a seperate project right now. I'm not sure if we should add external tools to the NAnt distribution. I think we should focus on the core build system itself and on supplying generally useful tasks (which NUnit2Report is indeed). We should, however, include a list of third party extensions to NAnt. That way more users will discover these tools, and as public interest grows, more people will be likely to join the authors in improving these tools. I think most active committers are busy enough without adding even more to their to-do list ... thank god we're getting payed good money for all of this :-) lol Maybe the GUI installer can also be one of the products of a daily build? good idea. I don't see why not. Add the NSIS build process to the nightly build script. NSISTask anyone ? I agree that it's a good idea, but it wouldn't be cross-platform Gert --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ nant-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers

Add the NSIS build process to the nightly build script. NSISTask anyone ? I agree that it's a good idea, but it wouldn't be cross-platform so is that a problem. Is there a decent cross-platform installer ? I don't think so. Mono's windows installer uses NSIS btw.

There is an addin in NAntContrib - I can't vouch for the state of it as its been without a maintainer for a while. There is a nant addin for C# builder - the only other .net IDE I'm aware of - apart from sharp develop.
