Should we also use this new version of #cvslib in NAnt 0.84 rc 2 ?

It is possible to obsolete attributes (properties on tasks/types) and
tasks/types themselves using the ObsoleteAttribute. For attributes this will
get translated into a warning that will be output in the build log and a
"deprecated" indication in the task/type docs. For tasks and types, this
will (for now) only be translated into a deprecated indication in the
task/type docs.
However, I have not yet added support for deprecating a specific
task/type/attribute name, meaning that the task/type/attribute itself is not
deprecated, but a specific name for that task/type/attribute is deprecated.
I'm not sure how to go about implementing this. Guess we'd have to add a
Obsolete property and perhaps a ObsoleteMessage property to the NAnt build
attribute classes, meaning you'd have :
[TaskName("cvscheckout")]
[TaskName("cvs-checkout", Obsolete=true, ObsoleteMessage="Use <cvscheckout>
instead.")]
public class CheckoutTask : AbstractCvsTask {
....
}
What do you think ? Got any other (and better) proposals ?
This might appear simple, but it has quite some impact on our
attribute-based initialization code and our documentation generation process
