http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43186 Summary: tar task does not add entries for folders Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I noticed a subtle difference between Gnu Tar and the tar task. If you are tarring a folder structure with Gnu Tar then entries for all folders will be created separately. The Ant tar task does not add the folders as separate entries, unless you explicitly specify them. In most cases this is not an issue, since applications extracting files from tar archives will create the necessary folders. But not in all cases. Some applications will fail because they expect the folders to be listed first, and created. -- 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]
