The task and all it's dependencies go away. So anything dependent on it and the things it depends on, are no longer dependent. > 2) you can use the [noexec] task flag The task and it's dependencies remain, but nothing is executed. > 3) i've also seen redefining the task with a no-op ":" command The task is executed and does nothing.
