Hi! Out of personal need (limited bandwidth for my continuous integration server) I wrote myself some NAnt tasks for creating 7-Zip archives. I intentionally didn't include any of the 7-Zip code but call 7z.exe (Windows) or 7za (Linux) which is located using the Registry (Windows only) or default paths (Windows and Linux).
Here's a usage example: <sevenzip-compress archive="archive.7z" level="9" password="secret"> <fileset basedir=".."> <include name="Source/**/*" /> <exclude name="**/*.txt" /> </fileset> </sevenzip-compress> <sevenzip-extract archive="archiv.7z" todir="test" password="secret" /> Is there any interest for such a thing for NAnt/NAntContrib? - I chose to create different tasks for compression and extraction because the parameters are different (and I didn't like how NAnt-Contrib designed the <svn /> task). - Relying on an external executable has the advantage of not requiring different builds of the DLL for different platforms, but has the disadvantage of requiring 7-Zip to be installed on the build system. If am thinking about adding a 'path' parameter to the tasks so it's possible to specify which 7z.exe/7za to use, but this would also entail shipping 7-Zip binaries for all supported platforms with a development tree. The fate of the <nunit2 /> task ultimately convinced me that using the 7-Zip executable is better. If anyone wants to check it out: Source code (VS2010): https://devel.nuclex.org/sideprojects/svn/tasks/Nuclex.NAnt.Tasks/trunk/ Binaries: https://devel.nuclex.org/teamcity/viewLog.html?buildId=lastSuccessful&tab=artifacts&buildTypeId=bt3&guest=1 <https://devel.nuclex.org/teamcity/viewLog.html?buildId=lastSuccessful&tab=artifacts&buildTypeId=bt3&guest=1> The binaries are built against NAnt.Core from NAnt 0.90.3780.0. I haven't tried what happens when I attempt to load them with another NAnt release. -Markus- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
