Not wanting to turn this into a NAnt RAnt :)

But I have never been able to download NAntContrib and just build it!
Somehow I find it a little bit ironic that a tool to manage builds should be
so difficult to build.  I have the feeling that once they get their
environment set up, the people putting together the download don't follow
the instructions and do it from scratch to see how well it works.  And
yes... I really need it to work with 1.1 and sometimes 1.0.

But even with all that said... I'm very grateful for the efforts that have
produced NAnt and NAntContrib for basically free! 

Thanks,

Cash

Subject: [Nant-users] nant / nant-contrib issues


hi yall,

IMHO....

since nant's namespace was restructured , the usability and
extensibility via nant-contrib has suffered enormously, it seems to me.
it's very hard to get a good binary image working across .NET 1.0 and
1.1.  And it's hard to get a matching source image including
nant-contrib and nant -- they're both important.

it seems the current structure is as follows, which i believe is
problematic:

nant source produces daily nant bin, which is available w/ some
arbitrary nant-contrib bin. nant-contrib source is available on its own.
building it depends on some arbitrary nant bin.

i may not have gotten the above exactly, but it seems to me nonetheless
that the package visibility is backwards.  what would make sense to me
would be the following:

nant-contrib depends on nant.  nothing else.
how to do this?

when someone changes nant, they should somehow make sure they didn't
break nant-contrib. when someone gets nant (source/bin), they only get
nant (because they're not dependent on nant-contrib) when someone gets
nant-contrib (source/bin), they get both the latest nant-contrib and the
latest nant (source/bin) because they work together.

?
