nant-developers Mailing List for NAnt - A .NET Build Tool

Hello Dominik,

I don't feel responsible for Debian packages (I am responsible for
nant in Fedora and Epel), but out of curiosity I checked.

There is this page: https://packages.debian.org/sid/nant
which has a link to this page:
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-cli-apps-team%40lists.alioth.debian.org
which has a link to this page: https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=nant
which gives excuses why nant is not in stable.
mainly it fails to build from source (FTBFS):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845733

You might want to ask the Debian CLI Applications Team which is linked
on those pages as a mailing list for more details and how to fix the
situation.

I hope this helps,
  Timotheus

Hi there,

I'm reaching out to you wearing the hat of the ASF log4net developers
because we noticed that nant is no longer available on debian stretch [1].

Can you help us understand what the reasons are? Are there any plans to
make nant available again? Is there an alternative package repository
available to install nant on debian stretch?

[1] https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nant

Hi.

Is there any work done to implement support for .net 4.6 and C# 6.0? Seems
like the SDK for .net 4.6 has different path in registry, so some code
fixing is needed...

Hi all,

I have a couple of pull requests for NAnt over at github.com that I am
hoping to get some more eyes on before they go in.  The links are below.
So if any of you that have a moment and a github.com account, would you
mind taking a look and let me know if any changes need to be made?

This one addresses issues #108 and #110 where the task is still evaluated
even though the if attribute returns false. Which can cause problems.
https://github.com/nant/nant/pull/133

This one addresses issue #84 where 'null' property values are sneaking in
with the foreach task.
https://github.com/nant/nant/pull/134

Looking forward to hearing something

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

I just wanted to let people know that a new nightly builds have been
posted at sourceforge.net.  The links are below.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nant/files/nant/nightly/2014-12-22/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nantcontrib/files/nantcontrib/nightly/2014-12-22/

This build addresses the following items:

 * Fixes issues with the <copy/> task that was introduced in 0.92
 * Adds initial implementation of parallel execution
 * The net-2.0 target now uses the Windows SDKs by default instead of
the old .NET 2.0 sdk.
    - NAnt will fallback to the old .NET 2.0 sdk if no valid Windows
SDKs are found on the running machine.

We encourage the users to give this nightly build a try to see what
else they would like added/modified/fixed that have not already been
reported in NAnt's issues page on github.com.

https://github.com/nant

We'll send out updates as they come in.

You can also see commits to both NAnt/NAntContrib projects on twitter:
https://twitter.com/nantproject

Happy holidays. :)

Thanks,
Ryan

Is there a limit on how many arguments can be passed to the "exec" task??  This is on Windows.

We are getting errors when the length get above 1000 characters.

Hi Folks,

with Win7-64bit sysinfo task got a problem with env variables named 
ProgramFiles(x86). This is wihtin nant an illegal variable name and thus 
caused sysinfo to fail. The only way was to set 'failonerror=false' for 
sysinfo task to get at least the other variables.

After some discussions https://github.com/nant/nant/pull/83 we changed 
the sysinfo task and now ProgramFiles(x86) will become 
"sys.env.ProgramFiles.x86"

For all other env variables which might contain illegal chars (from 
nant's point of view) the chars are replaced by an underscore. (see 
below taken from sysinfo docu)

---- sysinfo docu

When the name of an environment variable contains characters that are 
not allowed in a property name, the task will use a property name where 
each of such characters is replaced with an underscore (_).

Moreover when the name of an environment variable ends with the string 
"(x86)" the name of the property that is defined by this task will end 
with ".x86" instead.

For example the environment variable "ProgramFiles(x86)" will become 
"sys.env.ProgramFiles.x86" but an environment variable named 
"Program(x86)Files" would become "sys.env.Program_x86_Files".

----- end sysinfo docu

So far

Hello everybody,
I developed a NAnt extension which allows to use almost every C/C++
compilier without any modifications of the NAnt code. Currently the project
ist hosted at http://code.google.com/p/nant-cross-compile/. Is it possible
to integrate it in NAnt or NAnt contrib? If yes, are there some tasks I
have to perform before the integration is possible?
Regards
Roland

Hi,

my understanding is that the use of Dotnetzip should be possible as long 
as we provide it in binary form. This should be ok with Gpl2, but our 
license also includes "any later" GPL which means that we also need to 
take Gpl3 into account. And therefore I don't have any glue if MS-PL 
fits or not.

But if I remember correctly we had some discussions regarding source of 
nunit and ndoc and why we don't provide it in out repository. @Ryan Do 
you remember?


Maybe we should ask Cheeso for clarification
http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/Cheeso

just my 2 ct.

Dominik

Oh my, I've missed that can of worms when I can suggesting DotNetZip.
Reading https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ms-pl ,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-PL#Microsoft_Public_License_.28Ms-PL.29
, https://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting-Started and a
couple of discussions on licenses.open-source.general , my
understanding is that NAnt can redistribute DotNetZip on two
conditions:

- DotNetZip is distributed as an unchanged binary
- it's marked as covered by MS-PL, not GPLv2

If my understanding is wrong, then NAnt is already in a legal problem,
since the distribution contains binary versions of NDoc and NUnit (
http://nant.sourceforge.net/license.html ) which are not provided
under the GPLv2 license (they use a GPLv2 compatible license, but the
interpretation of GPL that would prevent NAnt from using DotNetZip
requires all components to be re-licensed as GPLv2(3), which is in
conflict with the current situation).

Hi,

Before anything is done with dotnetzip, can someone with better license knowledge than me chime in regarding compatibility between gplv2 and ms-pl?  I don't mind upgrading libs when applicable but I don't want to get into issues regarding lib licenses.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
Ryan

Jerome,

I don't suppose you could also re-write the code to use DotNetZip
instead of SharpZipLib? :-) The reason I'm mentioning this is because
 1) DotNetZip is maintained, and SharpZipLib no longer seems to be
 2) DotNetZip supports multithreaded zip compression, which is a huge
gain for practically any machine now

Binary reference .dll size is 200k (Reduced, i.e. no self-extracting
archive creation support), so the same as SharpZipLib that NAnt
currently ships with.

Hi Jerome,

If you don't mind, could you please open up a pull request via github
with this change?  It's easier for us (me at least) to review
contributions this way.

Hi Oskar,

do you have a github account? If so then it would be nice if you add 
your issue to nant
I would prefer to discuss it there.

If not, then I could create this issue also. Thanks so far.

Hi Oskar,

thanks for this link.
I will check this and try to find a solution.

So far Dominik

Thanks Dominik,

Here's some more information I've discovered:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/msbuild/archive/2007/04/12/new-reference-assemblies-location.aspx

I suspect a possible complication would be that the reference assemblies
seems to be installed by the SDK or visual studio, and thus not available
if either of these are not installed.

Hi,

the develelopers are taking a look. From my point of view I want to 
check the proper usage of "Referenced Assemblies" folder.
Maybe someone can point me to some detail information in MSDN or some 
where else.

The answer to the great question of life,
the universe and everything is 42 (Douglas Adams)

Hi,

.Net 4.5 is an inplace upgrade for .Net 4.0. If you want to ensure that
your software runs on a machine with only the original .Net 4.0 installed,
you need to take care when building, so that you don't cause dependencies
on .Net 4.5 versions of the assemblies.

This thread discuss the issue and there is a proposed solution that
involves editing nant.exe.config to avoid referencing updated assemblies
found under C:\Windows\...:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11991383/nant-build-using-net-4-5-beta-assembly-references-despite-specifying-net-4-0

What are the nant developers' take on this? Is the solution on stack
overflow the way to go? If so, should this be regarded as a bug in nant? It
doesn't seem "proper" to edit nant.exe.config in a runtime installation.

Hello,

I have mono version 2.11.1  that have the framework 4.5

I must build nant, in order to build the boo language
http://boo.codehaus.org/

but nant does not recognize 4.5 framework. so build fails...

Can someone point me to a way to patch nant config and build files
in order to build nant with mono 2.11.1 (framework 4.5)???


Thanks in advance

Sergio

Hi Leszek,

To my knowledge, this is not a known issue.  Would you mind reporting
it in NAnt's issues list please?  I don't want this issue getting lost
in my email.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi everyone,

it seems that the <if> task has regressed, throwing an exception when
only 'unless' condition is defined on it. It's simple to workaround
(just use test="${not (unlessCondition)}" instead ), but annoying none
the less. What's more, the task parsing exception thrown does not
contain any line/location information (it's cut off after "at :"). Is
this a known issue?

Kind regards,

Leszek 'skolima' Ciesielski
