Bug 39165 – Upgrade from ant-1.6.0 to ant-1.6.0-r2 broke <replaceregexp> task from ant-contrib

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Haroon Rafique 2004-01-23 08:13:50 UTC]

Just recently upgraded from ant-1.6.0 to ant-1.6.0-r2 and my <taskdef> for ant-contrib broke.

I get an error as follows:

build.xml:216: Could not create task or type of type: replaceregexp.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

Line 216 is where the <replaceregexp> is being called. (Not that it matters, but the <taskdef> for ant-contrib is in another file properties.xml).

Reverting back to ant-1.6.0.ebuild (downloaded from the Attic):
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/dev-java/ant/Attic/ant-1.6.0.ebuild?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
fixes the problem from me.

Its ironic that the latest log entry on that ebuild says:
"Removed Broken ant version."

Let me know if I can help diagnose this.  So, looks like this is definitely a problem in the new .ebuild (New method for building ant.) and not in ant since ant sources are the same.

[Comment 3 Haroon Rafique 2004-01-23 14:03:24 UTC]

Silly me, I apologize. Things are a lot better after:

emerge -C ant
emerge -pv dev-java/ant ant-optional
emerge ant ant-optional

Perhaps something in the ebuild to alert users about the new ant-optional (its new isn't, it?) ebuild would be good.

Cheers.

There's no need cause if you activated optional-tasks USE flag on ant, ant-optional will be automatically installed after ant is installed.
