Just wanting to check I have the right interpretation . . . I am thinking that currently the Gradle Tar task is actually not usable in comparison to using the Ant task: whilst the compression can be set in the Gradle task, the prefix and mode cannot, and this is invariable required.
I note that table 18.14 of the user guide implies that the Tar task is a
subtask of Zip which seems wrong. Also why can a Tar take a zipFileSet
as well as a tarfileSet?
I tend to make a tarball and then generate a zip from it if needed --
the reason for doing it this way round rather than they other is because
tarballs handle modes in all cases correctly where zips do not. Is
there any sensible way in Gradle of doing this?
Thanks.

Russel.
