Hello dear Ant Developers,
I suggest making the Pack and Unpack Tasks a subclass of Matching Task instead
of Task.
Reason:
Packing several files with a single task-def, like
<gzip>
<fileset dir="dest">
<include name="**/*.tar"/>
<include name="**/*.html"/>
<include name="**/*.xhtml"/>
<include name="**/*.css"/>
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
<include name="**/*.svg"/>
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
</fileset>
</gzip>
Why do I want to compress all .html and .xhtml files?
Because my internet provider has no apache module for automatic compression
installed, but I want the files to be transmitted to the user agent in a
compressed form if the user agent supports decompression (Accept-Encoding:
gzip).
Temporary Workaround:
Use a Makefile like this:
compress: $(addsuffix .gz, $(shell find dest -name "*.tar" -or -name "*.html"
-or -name "*.xhtml"...))
%.gz: %
gzip -c $< >$@
Or a bash shell script like this:
for i in `find dest -name "*.tar" -or -name "*.html" -or -name "*.xhtml"...`
do
gzip -c $i >$i.gz
done
Which you both might invoke from ant using the exec task.
Quirk in workarounds: system dependent.
Bye
