Hi Antoine, thanks for your feedback. Yes, I would like to open a bug report for this <replace> issue (Ant should NOT perform replace on read-only files by default, while the current version does overwrite the read-only files).
Should I open the bug directly (by registering on https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/, then filing the bug report), or should we follow an alternative way? Thanks in advance and best regards, Marco -----Original Message----- From: Antoine Levy-Lambert [mailto:anto...@gmx.de] Sent: giovedì 28 ottobre 2010 15:42 To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: "Replace" ANT task overwrites read-only files Hello Marco, this has been done in SVN (yet unreleased) but not for the replace task. the bug report https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49261 mentioned mainly the copy task. Do you want to open a bug report ?
