Hello, use the Query Ant task @: http://www.jera.com/tools/anttasks/. Works
quite well for me when the (ex-COBOL programmer) project manager is looking
over your shoulder asking about the latest build. HTH, David. ;-)

Hi all,
the ant scp task works great for me, at least to copy zip files.
There is still an issue though :
how do i manage properly the user/password?
So far i found 2 options :
0. pass on the command line. Bad news as this is visible to all users in
linux?
1) write them in a text file (not really an option, clearly)
Not even on a locked down/encrypted bit of the filesystem?
2) prompt the user. But there is not option to tell ant that the
password should not be visible (seen as stars would be perfect).
Do you guys have any idea about alternative *standardized* (if possible)
solutions.
we use ssh keys with passphrases; properties to set the username, key
and passphrase, all of which are stored in property files specific to
the target host (and not in SCM). you go
ant rpminstall -Dhost=arran
and metadata/arran.properties is loaded, containing the information
needed to unlock the ssh keys.
Yes, someone with physical access to the box gets those keys. But on my
laptop, the specific directories are encrypted with NTFS encryption, and
the keys hidden in the TPM. They need to log on as me and know the
separate TPM password to get in. IF I were extra paranoid, I'd keep them
on a USB key
