Re: NUnit 2 support (was: RE: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version)
I agree that a lot of those tasks should be rolled into the main NAnt project. I think there is still a place for NAntContrib as a place for user submissions. The idea being that there is a lower barrier of entry to the contrib project and the best - ie useful to most people tasks get moved into the main project over time. Certainly all the framework tasks should move to NAnt. Ian But since we are on a related topic: Does anyone think there's still a place for the NantContrib project? I've been thinking about this for a while, and my POV is that with the large NAnt refactoring that was done last time, most of NantContrib's tasks could be rolled into the appropriate NAnt assemblies most are fairly mature now, and some tasks in nantcontrib really belong there... I'm not sure if it's worh it to keep them separated anymore.

RE: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version
No comments other than just this morning I was thinking the same thing. Let's have a release! - Jason -Original Message- From: Bernard Vander Beken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 2:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version Hello, Every few months since the latest release, someone asked when the latest NAnt version was going to be replaced. This was no coincidence. Problems: - The latest non-CVS NAnt version (0.7.9.0) dates from June 11. - Too often, problems are reported that were fixed a long time ago or are related to NAnt/NAntContrib confusion. - Many support seeking NAnt users need to be directed to the CVS version of the day, which is the 'recommended' version. - NAnt dependencies, from NAntContrib to build servers, should have a NAnt version to be compatible with. In short, bringing out a new release (0.8.0) is needed. Note: A combined NAnt + NAntContrib package Would Be Nice as well, but first things first. I suggest a no-new-features-are-needed approach for this version. The question is: What really *needs* to be done before the new version can be released? I am aware of the NUnit to NUnit 2 migration, and have been able to use the latest NAnt and NUnit 2 using the exec task/console runner workaround. Ready. Steady.

I am aware of the NUnit to NUnit 2 migration, and have been able to use the latest NAnt and NUnit 2 using the exec task/console runner workaround. I fully agree with all of this. Note, however, that NUnit2 support in NAnt is already there, unfortunately, as I see it, it's pretty much useless except for testing nant itself... heck, can't even build the nantcontrib tests as is. I've been looking at this from all possible angles, and at least to make it work as *I* think it should, I see no other option short of modifying part of NUnit2 itself (yuck) or rewriting a large part of what it already does inside nant to support it (double yuck). This, at least, makes building nantcontrib in full impossible at the moment unless we eliminate one of the task tests in it :( If anyone has any better options, I'm all ears :) -- Tomas Restrepo [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Battle your brains against the best in the Thawte Crypto Challenge.

RE: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version
Everytime this thread is brought up I always have to chime in and say here here. So as expected I totally agree. I have 0.7.9.0+ version of NAnt + misc NAntContrib tasks that I support so that we can actually use NAnt in some stable fashion. I would rather base my support on a more current version. Now I get to sit back relax and wait another month before replying to the same thread again. hits snooze...

While everyone's awake in here - can I ask which branch tag the next version of NAnt is coming from? I'm sitting on the resx and license tasks for the moment.

RE: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version
I recently found tortoisecvs to be the most painless way to work with sourceforge from nt/xp. It comes with a customised version of plink to handle the ssl stuff and is fairly painless to setup.

And as one of the project admins I take my share of the blame for this. Gerry Scott and I discussed a release last time and it just didn't get done. So if we can get together and get this done now it would be great. I'm going back to Australia for xmas so I have 3 week window in which I can contribute. I think thats more than enough time - well depending on the nunit2 issues that is. Whats your feeling on getting some sort of workaround for this Tomas ?

RE: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version
I am aware of the NUnit to NUnit 2 migration, and have been able to use the latest NAnt and NUnit 2 using the exec task/console runner workaround. Hi, first-time user - just figured out that 0.7.9 is badly out of date, now using daily snapshot. I need to set up an NUnit2 task for my project - can someone explain the workaround for me? All my tests are written with NUnit2, so I can't backport (easily) to NUnit 1.

RE: Re: [nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version
Placing the responsibility of getting a release out on the project admins isn't going to work if the past is any indication of the future :) The best way to get a release done is for a number of people to take a nant-snapshot and QA it to the level that they would feel comfortable to say that this is a stable release that will add value to users. Needlesss to say you should agree on the date of the snapshot. Once that is done I'm sure one of us can go through the painful process of trying to convince SourceForge to post a release. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Sourceforge Network Survey Take Our Survey and You Could Win a $500 Gift Certificate! http://ugamsolutions.com/psurvey/osdn/SourceForge/index_sourceforge.htm ___ Nant-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers
