http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5036 Zip and friends task enhancement request ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-04 16:07 ------- Hm ... okay, let me try to explain in a bit more detail what I want to have happen, and why I'm using these parameters settings -- if there is some other combination of settings that makes more sense, just let me know. The build I'm trying to set up needs to create a single .zip file with a certain internal directory structure. Since the final .zip file will contain nearly 8000 files, we've got things separated out in our CVS tree to keep the individual groups of files to a manageable size. Each group mirrors the directory structure we want in the final .zip file. So I'm using the <foreach> ant-contrib task to iterate over each of the groups and add its contents to the final .zip file. The problem is that, since different developers are working separately on each group, and adding new files from time to time, the build needs to detect when files are duplicated in two different groups. So my reasoning is this: I need 'update="true"' because I don't want my existing .zip file to be blown away and re-created from scratch each time I try to add a subgroup. (The apache manual describes the update attribute as follows: "indicates whether to update or overwrite the destination file if it already exists.") I need 'duplicate="fail"' so that an error is generated when the same file exists in two different groups, and I need then figure out which developers to annoy to get the name conflict resolved. Basically, I intend to add an orthogonal set of files when I update the .zip file, and if the set intersects at all with whatever is already in there, I want ant to flag that as an error.
