I've already replied to BugZilla for reasons why Ant behaves the way that it does, but my standard advice to people who need to preserve permissions in archives is to exec the proper native archiver.

I will retry with the <zipfileset>, although I do believe that the filesystme's attributes should have been preserved when zipping by default, maybe you can consider adding a new parameter to the <zip> task to specify this. FYI - I have tried to zip with winzip and 7-zip, both of these zipped the files WITH their original attributes within the filesystem, so why shouldn't ANT behave the same? -- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
