05/12/2016, 8:45 PMIn some cases a subsystem may not be used by a task at all - b

05/12/2016, 9:34 PM@witty-crayon-22786: not sure I understand, the feature I need is to build the play app (compile routes files, html template, assets pipeline, etc) - m

05/12/2016, 9:34 PMor are u referring to sth else - e
enough-analyst-54434
05/12/2016, 9:35 PMI think an excellent 0th order step would be to file one or more issues describing the features needed - e

05/12/2016, 9:35 PMyeah we are too, still figuring out how play’s sbt plugin magic actually works - e
enough-analyst-54434
05/12/2016, 9:35 PMYou at least know how you use sbt - e
enough-analyst-54434
05/12/2016, 9:36 PMThat is enough to define use-cases pants needs to support regardless of how things work - m
mysterious-action-44812
05/12/2016, 9:36 PMbut sg i can describe in issues, at very least its: - compile routes file (yaml) into scala - compile html templates into scala - package javascript/css assets. this includes its whole own pipeline (webpack, minify, etc) - m
mysterious-action-44812
05/12/2016, 9:36 PMthen build all that together - e

05/12/2016, 9:36 PMAn issue would be great, slack is a black hole - m

05/12/2016, 9:54 PMyeah - I am probably good for some help here - I have written a bunch of plugins and backends at this point. I think you'll find writing a task to be not much worse than writing a python script once you internalize a bit of the Pants terminology. I would want to talk about it on pants-devel or the github issue so that we can keep it for reference and so others can chime in. If you think you are willing to write a plugin, we can take it up either place at your convenience. - h

05/12/2016, 10:13 PMCan anyone think of a clean way to deprecate an entire options scope, if renaming it?
