Bug#477064: RFA: nant -- .NET build tool similar to Ant
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`System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(string)' is
obsolete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 §2 violation)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374634
Requires a tedious and complex dive into nant's wierd build system.
