Providing NAnt support is an historical choice. The xbuild tool was not mature enough (now it is getting better), and NAnt is always bundled with the Mono framework. The NAnt tasks are for people who wants a fine grain control over the build process and/or to use Continuous Integration. I agree that it can be hard to dive into NAnt, but once learned, it proves to be powerful. > >>Note: I am currently working on a set of MSBuild tasks to offer the > native packaging to any MSBuild based project. > > Any idea when this might be available? > The tasks are ready and will be part of the upcoming 4.0 release, but they will also be compatible with the 3.0 release.
