ios does something more than just copy files. ubuntu copies the src to a subdirectory named qml.
source-file could be used on Android for my purposes. The major difference is that my implementation of resouce-file uses a target file instead of target-dir which would allow to rename the src. I suggest to improve the documentation to say that source-file could be used to move arbitrary files. -Axel ps: some implentations use common.copyFile while others use shell.cp to copy files. Is there a difference when copying binary files. What about --variable on binary files? 2014/1/2 Andrew Grieve <agri...@chromium.org> > I thought about <source-file> as well, but given that <resource-file> is > already implemented on other platforms, I think it would make sense to have > it for Android. > > Another thought is that it's more semantically correct. > E.g.
