http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28320 copy task preserving permissions ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-04-12 21:47 ------- A native code impl would probably find its home in the ant-contrib project on sforge, presumably with a task <cp> that does permission setting. I dont know about DD's idea of putting a special permission preserving back door in everywhere, as <copy> is only one of many places people would ask; zip, tar & lots of others could add it. But then the result would be that build files that worked to build a redistributable on unix would work wrongly on windows, or netware, or VMS. NTFS file permissions are so different from Unix land that I never want to go near them. And that is me speaking from experiene :) Coming back to the specific build file problem, is a chmod after copy so hard? (NB, one fix that would be strongly acceptable, a patch to java1.5 :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
