We are planning to move the most commonly used tasks from nantcontrib to nant. I posted a list of the tasks to be moved and where they would go some time ago. We should be able to move that process along for the 0.84 release. Ian This has been debated many times. The bottom line, as I recall,

I totally agree with you on this Jean, and this is how I've been moving forward too... I've already moved a few tasks into the core (tlbimp, tlbexp, asminfo), The tblimp and tlbexp task were moved to NAnt with minor modifications, but the asminfo task was actually a complete rewrite of the task.

Title: load properties from file Hello, I am sure that this question must have been asked several times, but I can't find any answer. I am using the final release of Nant 0.8.3;  I would like to know if there is a feature to load properties from a file like in Ant ? the syntax in Ant is

Erv, this is a good summary, at least from what I remember of the reasons and the goals of NAntContrib. I think there is a place for nantcontrib, and as nant stabilizes for 1.0, that place will be even more apparent. I hope that most of the core of nant, and the core tasks, will not change much fo

yall, i think we can accomplish your requirements w/o making nant-contrib obsolete. it has it's place as the venue to extend nant. if i can extend nant for myself, why shouldn't i share my work w/ the community without "poluting" nant core. if there's a whole bunch of nant-contrib tasks that ar

This has been debated many times. The bottom line, as I recall, has always been that the NAnt project team doesn't want to be responsible for the quality or reliability of all of the items in NAntContrib until they have been thoroughly tested and refactored. On the other hand, the Nant project te

Erv, Thanks for the clarification. I had missed the files in bin. In the attached email I had interpreted what Ian said to mean that they are not there. David Reed indicates that NAntcontrib should be obsoleted and merged into NAnt. I agree. While at one point it may have allowed NAnt core dev

All of the NantContrib tasks are included as binaries in the Nant 0.8.3 release (look in the .\nant-0.8.3.50105\bin\ subdirectory of the release .zip file). Get it here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nant/nant-0.8.3.zip?download If you want to build it from scratch or if you want to follow

Sorry if it is annoying to pursue this NAntcontrib thing here. I know this is the NAnt group. But the NAntcontrib mail list looks useless. However, there is a relationship between the two even if it should be one way (NAntcontrib to NAnt). This relationship is made very clear in this thread of
