Re: Updating the AssemblyVersion attribute from CCNet

Somebody mentioned the other day that it would be nice to link to NAnt
tasks within a CCNet project - I'm not sure what the licensing
implications of this are since NAnt is GPL (with an exception I don't
really understand), but this might be a good implementation for this,
something like:

<tasks>
    <nantTask nantTaskType="Nant.Tasks.AsmInfo">
        <!-- some way of passing in NAnt params that would be tied up
reflectively -->
    </nantTask>
</tasks>

Of course, this might be hard to implement, never mind the licensing
constraints.

I don't actually think CCNet *needs* this kind of thing (it might be
'nice to have'), mostly since in a year or so's time everyone who
doesn't use NAnt will be using .NET 2 and Msbuild, which can do this
for them.

re: plugin DLLs - I don't know where Owen was up to on this.
