hi,
i just created a save task to compress the entire dir into a dated jar
file ... so that before i make major changes in my program i have a
backup.
unfortunately, the ant jar task does not preserve the permissions on the
files when it saves (i am running linux and have scripts for doing
things in my project ... and it does not save the executable
permission in the jar file)...
i decided to try the tar task instead ... and that produces the same
problem -- the permissions are not saved
anyone know how to get jar or tar to preserve the permissions? or does
anyone have a better way for me to do what i am doing (just making a
backup of my entire build dir)
here are the targets that i created:
<target name="save"
depends="getDate, getTime"
description="create a save jar in
${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.jar">
<jar jarfile="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.jar"
basedir="."
excludes="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.jar"/>
<echo message="The jarfile is in ${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.jar"/>
</target>
<target name="savetar"
depends="getDate, getTime"
description="create a save tar in
${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar">
<tar tarfile="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar"
basedir=".">
<exclude name="${saveDir}/**"/>
<exclude name="${classDir}/**"/>
</tar>
<gzip src="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar"
zipfile="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar.gz"/>
<delete file="${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar"/>
<echo message="The tarfile is in ${saveDir}/${currentLS}-${today}-${timenow}.tar"/>
</target>
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
-Mike
