After a brief flirtation with MSBuild, I've been spending some quality time again
recently with NAnt. I'm creating a rather complex build script that I'm using to
generate courseware. There's a couple of things that have been bugging me about NAnt,
and which I've fixed in my private build, but I
I'm just wrapping it up now and I want to send it out for some comments
before I ship it. Please send me private mail if you have some cycles to
provide some comments & feedback.
Thanks,

I've spent a fair amount of time recently with MSBuild, and have the
following set of observations about its relationship to [N]Ant:
1) There is an inter-target dependency engine. Targets can declare their
inputs and their outputs, which are in turn fed to the dependency engine
to determine the mi
A little side project today while my new son sleeps: making NAnt 0.8.3
and NUnit 2.1 happy together. I documented the steps on my blog:

you install. Simple things like making sure the s

Hi Folks,
I just want to get an update on who's working on what in NAnt. I took a
quick peek at the sources for NAnt/NAntContrib and it looks like there's
a bit of room left for improvement. But I just wanted to ping the list
to make sure that there aren't folks already working on these things and
John, it looks like something in the build process is using code from
V1.1 of the framework when you're trying to build a V1.0 assembly (or
vice versa). The System.Xml assembly uses types from mscorlib.dll to do
its I/O operations. v1.1 of System.Xml needs to bind to v1.1
mscorlib.dll, but v1.0 of
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

Subject: [nant-dev] Should filters be inherited as well as properties?
I just came across this in one of my build files. What do y'all think
about making filters inheritable?

I'm finding that the semantics of ExecTask are very confusing.
Tonight, I was finishing up my build scripts to call my CppUnit tests
once they were complete. This required me to execute a specific .EXE in
a specific directory. I wanted to be able to write:

I just recently discovered the inheritall attribute on the NAnt task.
This rocks!
Now for the follow-up question: is there a recommended way of forcing a
NAnt project to be a "child-only" project - that is to throw an error if
it isn't called from a master project?
I can think of hacks that inv
I'm curious - why aren't there more dependency checks in tasks? For
example, the link task could check the timestamp of the output file
against the list of input files and avoid running the linker altogether
if the output file is more recent than any of the inputs.
If this is the case, would it m
