Hello Bill, This is good news. Will the port/rewrite be available under the same licence as CruiseControl? Is there an ETA for the first public bits? It would be a Good Thing to avoid implementing two build servers providing about the same functionality: - "CruiseControl.NET" - The (pre)beta B

[nant-dev] Conditionals

2002-06-25 Thread John Lam
I just ran across a case where I would really like to have real conditionals in NAnt. Here's a really rough outline of my daily build: clean prepare checkout compile test checkin What I'd really like to do is insert a conditional at the end - that is, if test fails, to call a task called undoche

Hi All, I just wanted to take a moment, and compliment you guys on both this list, and this project. I have been lurking on this list (and using NAnt) for a few weeks now, and I am very impressed with the energy, and the results. As a long time user of Ant, I find using NAnt to be a smooth trans

There's a Win32 function called GetVolumeInformation which returns various flags that describe the file system that contains the specified directory (case sensitive, case preserving, etc). I hacked up some code that I found on CodeProject (to save me the effort of figuring out the right DllImport

I'm really with Kevin here. It seems like automatic detection should really be the goal. The behavior should be definable from the operating system and file system. The config file could force a behavior, but I think the default behavior should be good. Kevin, what is your P/Invoke method for de

RE: [nant-dev] Should filters be inherited as well as properties?

2002-06-25 Thread Scott Hernandez
Umm... I doubt they are in ant, and I don't think that it is worth the code. I'd say if you want to then you could just define the filters via properties (which will be inherited) in the child project. But a good use-case could convince me otherwise. :) > -Original Message- > [1] http://

RE: [nant-dev] Loop Task

I thought I was one of those people :) Anyway, the foreach was really just a test case for the TaskContainer concept. Well, it wasn't really a test; it is useful on its own. The ghenghis build has a script section that loops through all the sample subdirs and builds each sample [1]. It is a lot o

FYI: The basedir attribute was removed from NAntTask before the 0.7.9.0 release. It was removed may 3rd. I've actually started to make some changes locally that could help out here. I'm toying with the idea of changing the way properties are defined and used. Since we now have a Parent property
