i guess depends= isn't broken, but call is. gert,
i can see that it's more "elegant" to get positive feedback when you say <call>. however, imo, it's just syntactic sugar, not essential -- the language cost of force= was minor compared to revamping all those build files invested in the previous behaviour. jean > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Jean Rajotte > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 09:55 > To: 'Breen, Patrick'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Nant-users] Incorrect dependency evaluation? > > > please let it be that 0.8.4 behaviour is a bug, and that > <0.8.4 behaviour is the right one. there's a force= > attribute to change that. i'm heavily invested in > only-run-once for depends= (e.g. every target calls the > global init-props target to afford each target granularity). > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > > Breen, Patrick > > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 09:47 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Nant-users] Incorrect dependency evaluation? > > > > > > In version 0.8.4 when a target is defined with a dependency > > that calls another target with the same dependency, the > > target is executed a second time.
