Hello, I would like to add support for symlinks to: org.apache.tools.tar.TarEntry and friends.
I have examined the archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.ant.devel/ and cannot see the matter discussed there. I have seen the warning: Ant is not symbolic link aware in moves, deletes and when recursing down a tree of directories to build up a list of files. Unexpected things can happen. on: http://ant.apache.org/manual/platform.html Before sending patches, I would like to determine if there is a reason that this has not been supported in the TarEntry class; it appears that the proper constants are present in TarConstants and I can get at the linkflag through the writeEntryHeader method. Thanks much in advance, max --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ant.apache.org
