thanks for the replies, I'll go and file a bugzilla report for this. As for the feature I'm proposing, it's far from rocket science. It's basically a "true" update of existing zip entries (as oposed to the current logic which will only update if the entry is older than whatever you're trying to put in the zip). Please shout if my understanding is wrong, but after many tests & debugging I think this is what's happening.
I've modified the code locally so that <zip> and all its subtasks can take duplicate="overwrite" (in addition to "add", "preserve" and "fail") and it looks like I have what I want now. thank you, Horaci -----Original Message----- From: Kev Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 March 2006 12:01 To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: sending patches Jon Skeet wrote: >>I'd like to submit a patch to add some functionality in >>zip-based tasks. >>Can someone please point me to the right procedure for doing this? >> >> > >I'd personally suggest opening a feature request and including the patch >in that.
