Hi.
Can ant create tar archives including symbolic links?
I want to execute this tar task:
<symlink link="${freecol.release.dir}/FreeCol.app/Contents/MacOS/
FreeCol"
resource="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/
MacOS/JavaApplicationStub/"/>
<tar destfile="${freecol.release.dir}/${freecol.release.name}-
mac.tar.bz2" compression="bzip2">
<tarfileset dir="${freecol.release.dir}" mode="755"
includes="FreeCol.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeCol"
excludes="**/freecol*"
/>
<tarfileset dir="${freecol.release.dir}">
<include name="FreeCol.app/**"/>
<exclude name="**/freecol*"/>
<exclude name="FreeCol.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeCol"/>
</tarfileset>
</tar>
FreeCol.app/Contents/MacOS/FreeCol is only a symbolic link. Can
anybody explain, if I had done something wrong or if the ant task
cannot include symbolic links into the created archives.
I have tested the follwing:
<!--exec executable="tar">
<arg value="cfvj"/>
<arg value="${freecol.release.dir}/${freecol.release.name}-
mac2.tar.bz2"/>
<arg value="FreeCol.app"/>
</exec-->
This creates the archive **WITH** the symlink.
Thanks in advance,
Tobias
