http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8981 Tar task command additional features ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-05-11 16:39 ------- 1. Yes, I agree that this could be done, but there are situations where this is not pratical, or efficient. Example: Suppose you have an existing directory structure containing many files, and you have a tar file which might contain some of the same files and some new files. Suppose you would like to know the contents of the tar file. If you untar the file, you will not be able to tell which files came from the tar, and which files were preexisting, or both. A nice feature would be to have the ability to do the equivilant of the tar command: "tar -tvf tarfile.tar" or "tar -tf tarfile.tar". I would like to be able to make the table of contents available. 2. In version 1.4.1, if I use this: <tar tarfile="${build.dir}/listfile.tar" basedir="${src.dir}" includesfile="listfile.txt" /> where "listfile.txt" is contained in the basedir, and the file contains filenames separated by newlines, it will tar all of the files from the list. The problem is, in my case the basedir will be the root directory, so I need to be able to include the list of fully qualified paths of files to be included in the tar file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
