You can't > (again, unless I'm missing something major here). if commits are an issue, build to a separate location and then only copy over to CVS those files which differ from the original ../I wonder if we need a better paradigm for uptodateness than just timestamps; just like with <mapper> you could have a plugin <depender> which provided dependency rules for tasks like copy, javac, ftp, etc. the basic depender would be timestamp, but there is the <depends> implementation on a bytecode driven depender; checksum and 'filesdifferent' based dependers would do more detailed matching...etc. I am not proposing this for 1.5; I think there are enough radical features there once costins and the antlib work is finalized (*) that we have way too much to test and document. But for the 2.x model, plug in dependencies would seem to go with plug in file name mappings -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
