Scott, does your current build server log into CVS using pserver or ssh? It seems that pserver access is intermittent at the moment. -Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hernandez Sent: 01 July 2003 17:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj

Hey Jim Apologies for not picking up on this sooner. We have been really, really busy recently. I did not realise that Scott was away. I can easily configure our build server to build Nant, and have been meaning to start using the hook notifier for ages. If you prefer I can help you get your o

I just took a run through the latest nightly build and only spotted the following two problems: 1) The user task example did not build first time when run from the nant\examples directory. 2) The change log page needs updating. I suggest just having a link to a text file generated by cvs2cl? i.

Are you any closer to releasing a new version 'proper'? The 0.7.9 release is dated 11-jun-2002 - nearly 8 months ago. Is there anything in particular that is holding the release up? Anything that I could lend a hand to? Cheers -MG --- This

[nant-dev] Path problems with latest NAnt from CVS

2002-12-10 Thread Mark Griffiths
I recently upgraded from a pre-"big refactoring" version of NAnt and have come across a small problem. Most of our projects consist of multiple build files that get called via the task. We always specify paths relative to each build file and this works fine with the old version. With the new v

The .NET code required to create a windows service is minimal, and therefore it would be fairly trivial to decouple it from the Autonomy core. Additionally there are a couple of places in the VSS and DevEnv integration that use the registry. We have no need for these modifications but if anybody s

FWIW, I agree with Ian. I believe that NAnt should be a declarative tool and not permit procedural style code to be written at all. If the extra (complex) functionality is there then it will be used, and NAnt will get a reputation for being unwieldy. Just my opinion Mark > -Original Messag

Kevin's requirements is exactly why I submitted the patch that allows properties to be explicitly passed to a build file. In the child build file, the properties become 'read-only' (as if passed using the -D:name=value command line parameter). This would allow you to write something like: main.
