NAnt holds up well for simple, straightforward build scripts. Add in some flow control and branching and NAnt doesn't scale very well. I've talked to a few people who've switched from NAnt to Rake even for .Net development when the project build file started to get too big and complex. A real programming language will always be more expressive than xml. http://ayende.com/2249/working-with-code-not-executable-xml#comment1http://ayende.com/2249/working-with-code-not-executable-xml#comment1Fri, 23 Mar 2007 11:12:10 GMT
