By default, properties defined on the NAnt command line are read-only, even ignoring the overwrite="true" attribute. Is there any way to make them read-write?

    I ran into exactly the same problem yesterday. Since I couldn’t find a solution, I ended up renaming the command line arguments. Somewhat cumbersome but at least it works.

    I was passing in property repo.name via -D:repo.name=MyRepo and tried this:

    <property name="repo.name" value="${repo.name}/MySubrepo" />

    That gave me a warning and the assignment was ignored. So I changed the name of the command line argument to repo.name.orig.

    <property name="repo.name" value="${repo.name.orig}/MySubrepo" />

    Would that be possible for you as well?
