Override default task

Hi there, 

I'm trying to override a biuldr default task and wondering what is the
easiest way.

So for example I want to override the 'upload' task for all projects.

I'm trying this in an Extension

after_define do |project|
     Rake::Task['upload'].clear_actions

     Rake::Task['upload'].enhance ... 
     

But it doesn't seem to be working, I still get the default upload
behaviour.

Thanks in advance,
Danny.

Thanks for your help, I'm running into some behaviour that seems a bit
counter-intuitive.

So if I define my extension like so, trivially just to make the upload
task puts 'hello'

module MyDeployer
  include Extension
  after_define do |project|
    project.task("upload").clear_actions
    project.task :upload do
      puts "hello"
    end
  end
end  

class Buildr::Project
  include MyDeployer
end

I end up with: 

<snip>
Deploying packages from skippy_1b
hello
Buildr aborted!
Don't know where to upload, perhaps you forgot to set repositories.release_to
</snip>

However if I take out the 'project.task("upload").clear_actions' I
only then get:

<snip>
Deploying packages from skippy_1b
Buildr aborted!
Don't know where to upload, perhaps you forgot to set repositories.release_to
</snip>

One of the things about just redefining the task as in using
'project.task :upload' is that I'd like to remove the default upload
behaviour. That is I'd like to completely override it rather than
enhance it.

Thanks a lot,
Danny.

What if you just do...

after_define do |project|
  project.task :upload do
    ...
  end
end

Remember that the 'upload' task is defined within each project; it only *
seems* to be a namespace-global task.
