 Yes

 No

<moduleSet>

A set of modules to copy.

A <moduleset> containing a number of <sourcemodule>s and/or <module> subelements. It can be defined at the top level and then used by reference using the refid attribute, so you don't have to repeat the same list of modules all the time.

Element Description Required
refid

A reference to a <moduleset> defined elsewhere.

 No

<rep>

A module repository containing dependencies. Can be specified multiple times. Defaults to <rep url="./modules"/>.

Element Description Required
url

The URL or path of the module repository.

 Yes, unless a `refid` is given
refid

A reference to a <rep> defined outside this task.

 No

<reposet>

 No
