http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33906 Summary: Granularity of COPY too large on modern Windows platforms Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows Server 2003 Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I recently upgraded ANT from 1.5 to 1.6.2. My builds started failing with timing problems because of the recent addition of granularity. Prior to 1.6.2, COPY would perform an absolute comparision of timestamps to see if a file should be copied. It now uses a 2second granularity window instead, when ANT is run on "DOS"-based systems. This new 2second window breaks my builds under Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. I don't know the history behind this change. Perhaps the 2 second grace period is realistic for old MS-DOS systems. But it is not realistic in modern Windows systems. Assuming that 2-seconds is reasonable for MS-DOS systems, I propose that the ANT family test be refined so that the default for Windows systems (NT and beyond, at least) is 0 and a granularity of 2 be limitted to older systems. Even better, the granularity should always default to 0, and the build.xml author should be allowed to override the granularity where it is appropriate to the local environment. This would preserve backwards compatability, remove a special case, and be much more understandable in general. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
