[NAnt-users] Reverse Dependency Order

[William_Martin]

Can anyone think of an easy way round this?  I want to execute by build in reverse dependency order.  Why?  Well because I have a target in there called register that regieters the components that are build in COM+ so a developer can do a "build all register" and be aboe to run the system for debugging.  The problem is when they do a clean, becuase this executes in the same order as the compile, and therefore removes the assemblies at the bottom of the dependency tree first.  Because the COM+ registration and deregistration relies on the installer class, this means that installutil has to load the assembly to unregister it, and this then fails for some assemblies as it cannot fond the assemblies it depends on (because they've already been cleaned)

What I ideally want to do, is to run the clean target in reverse order.  I know I can split the registering stuff out into a separate script and have different orders to register and de-register, but that's quite a lot of work, and if there's an easy way to run the script in reverse, I'd prefer that.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Bill
