http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19120 Tar/TarFileSet/TarEntry uid and gid Summary: Tar/TarFileSet/TarEntry uid and gid Product: Ant Version: 1.4.1 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Setting the username and group in a TarFileSet stores the user and group strings in the tar file, but the uid:gid numbers default to 0:0 (root:root). When I untar with tar or pax [under QNX 4], the username and group are ignored and the uid and gid are used instead. This does not produce the desired results since everything is owned by root:root. I would like to be able to set the uid and gid in a TarFileSet and have them set in the corresponding TarEntry in the Tar object. <!-- Usage Example: --> <tar tarfile="thisandthat.tar"> <tarFileSet dir="." mode="775" uid="100" gid="200"> <include name="this"/> <include name="that"/> </tarFileSet> </tar>
