The thing is, nant should be working fine - I'm using it myself on the development branch. So it's not unsupported - just not working for some folks for as yet unidentified reasons. And as we've seen, since xbuild is there anyway most people just end up using that instead.

I appreciate the help on this list, usually I have to go hang out on the IRC 
channel.

Thanks all!

My steps for building tend to be as follows.

# xbuild /t:clean

# mono bin/Prebuild.exe /clean

# git pull

# ./runprebuild.sh

# xbuild

# ./revtag.sh (a tiny script that updates the .bin/.version file)

Then I'm ready to move on the the upgrade. Since you're building from tarballs, 
which tend not to accrue that same sort
of kipple that pulling from git does, my process probably isn't as applicable. 
The cleaning steps might be useful when
retrying a compile that experiences hiccups, though.

I haven't used Nant in a very long time now... my understanding is that the 
Mono team deprecated it as the official
build tool quite some time ago. It is still in common use among people 
compiling of OpenSim due to various inertial
factors (I think the NUnit tests are tailored for Nant in some fashion, maybe). 
But for those of us just compiling to
get binaries, xbuild is probably the way to go these days.

    I use xbuild too. Nant does not seem to work anymore.
