Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : nant Version : 0.84 Upstream Author : NANT team (see http://nant.sourceforge.net/authors.html) * URL : http://nant.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL + additional ability to link to .NET library Description : .NET build tool similar to Ant 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. . Granted, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent in being able to construct a shell command such as 'find . -name foo -exec rm {}', but it gives you the ability to be cross-platform - to work anywhere and everywhere. And hey, if you really need to execute a shell command, NAnt has an task that allows different commands to be executed based on the OS it is executing on.
