I agree.

And also add the <super /> element you were talking about. I agree. For what it's worth, I think we should also have a means to externally trigger just the body of a task (mainly during build script debugging). I normally do tgt depend " -tgt" -tgt depend "@tgt-step1, @tgt-step2, ..." Meaning I can call the building blocks @tgt-stepN from outside to incrementally watch and refine their behaviour. -peo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
