http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28320 copy task preserving permissions ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-12 22:16 ------- I understand the unwillingness to accept native code as a part of Ant, especially since there really isn't an ant-proper way to build shared libraries yet. I also agree that a patch to java 1.5 (very unlikely) would be the best answer. I must disagree on your interpretation in that building with file-permission correct copy would work "wrongly" on other platforms. It currently works "wrongly" on ALL platforms, as the operating system/environment decides the permissions of the new file, allowing differences in operating system environments to affect the build process. In the case of the current release of Ant, it is by your standards broken since the chmod task is not implemented on all platforms, making any build which uses chmod build "wrongly" on non- unix platforms. This new feature would open the door to an actual correct solution, which is consitant across all platforms. I'm more inclined not to use chmod as I need to build my projects on both Linux and Windows (hence the attractive nature of Ant). In addition, a permission-preserving copy seems like a much more natural solution than having to use chmod after each copy. For now, I'll see if ant-contrib will accept the library, and some task I create, as part of its build, since it really is the only ant-like project that could build such a library anyways :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
