I'm using the tar task with tarfilesets to create tar files on Windows 7. I'm
using the filemode attribute of the tarfileset type to set the UNIX permissions
on the files contained by the tar. Then, I upload the tars to our UNIX server
and unzip them with this command: tar -xvf mytarfile.tar
I want create -rwxrwxr-- permissions on my .ksh files using filemode="774",
but they untar with -rwxr-xr-- .
For files other than .ksh, I want to create -rw-rw-r-- using filemode="664",
but I get rw--r--r--.
If I set the second digit to zero, then I get the correct result: -rw----r--.
So turning on write permission for the group doesn't work, but turning it off
does work. I've even tried adding a dirmode attribute set to 774 but it didn't
help. I've also run my build in verbose mode and debug mode, but there was no
output regarding the UNIX file permissions.
Here is the target for my tar:
<target name="create-tar" >
<delete file="${target.app.tar}"/>
<delete file="${target.di.tar}"/>
<tar destfile="${target.app.tar}">
<tarfileset dir="${app.dir}" includes="**/*.ksh" prefix="app"
filemode="774" dirmode="774" username="${unix.user}" group="${unix.group}" />
<tarfileset dir="${app.dir}" excludes="**/*.ksh" prefix="app"
filemode="664" dirmode="774" username="${unix.user}" group="${unix.group}" />
<tarfileset file="${fwa.app.ear}" prefix="app/install" mode="664"
dirmode="774" username="${unix.user}" group="${unix.group}" />
</tar>
<tar destfile="${target.di.tar}">
<tarfileset dir="${di.dir}" includes="**/*.ksh" prefix="di"
filemode="774" dirmode="774" username="${unix.user}" group="${unix.group}" />
<tarfileset dir="${di.dir}" excludes="**/*.ksh" prefix="di"
filemode="664" dirmode="774" username="${unix.user}" group="${unix.group}" />
</tar>
</target>
Thanks.
