Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the nant package as I no longer use
or have interest in .NET/mono.

The package description is:
 NAnt is different.  Instead of a model where it is extended with
 shell-based commands, NAnt is extended using task classes.  Instead of
 writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling
 out a target tree where various tasks get executed.  Each task is run
 by an object that implements a particular Task interface.


There are two serious bugs on nant:
1) #475213: nant: FTBFS: [csc]
   /build/user/nant-0.85/src/NAnt.DotNet/Tasks/ScriptTask.cs(519,50):
   error CS0612:
   `System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(string)' is
   obsolete   
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475213

This isn't important I feel, since once built by the maintainer, nant
never needs rebuilding.

2) #374634: nant: includes binary-only copies of nunit, SharpZipLib
   and log4net in source tarball (DFSG ยง2 violation) 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374634

Requires a tedious and complex dive into nant's wierd build system.
