http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21421 [Patch] to allow to run several targets without rerunning their dependencies ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-08-05 18:31 ------- The first request I have no ideological problem with, but what option to use? Most short options are a single letter, and for example, "-singlecheck", while longer than "-noredo", is no longer than "-diagnostics", and indeed is shorter than "-propertyfile" or "-inputhandler". As for the -nosinglecheck idea, I think I can see how you would want to use it, but I can't say that I really think it's necessary to basic Ant. Not specifying the option would be equivalent to specifying a negative version of the same option. In fact, I changed "-noredo" to the hardly more descriptive "- singlecheck" due to a reluctance on my part to use such a "negative option". I would have preferred a boolean argument to two different forms of the same option, but did not because of the implementation of Ant's command-line options. This is very straightforward; for example to use the -s option without specifying a buildfile name, -s has to be the last option given. This makes me reluctant to solve the issue by adding an optional argument to this new option. In summary, if these issues came to a committer vote, my responses would be: [+1] adding -singlecheck (or equivalent) option to work in conjunction with the new Target sorting options on Project [-0] adding a short form of -singlecheck [-1] complementing -singlecheck with -nosinglecheck br, Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
