Keeping executable bits on files (Buildr::Filter)

[Henrik Thostrup Jensen <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi

When copying files using Buildr:Filter, any executable bit set on
files disappear.
This is somewhat annoying :-). Is there a way to fix this?

Also, is there an easy way to roll up several sub-projects into a
single directory (for release or deployment)
Currently I'm doing this filter, but there might be an easier way.


And two unrelated questions:

1.3.4 gets a bit verbose to stdout, even with --silent (e.g., clean
emits alot of rm -fr command)
Is there a way to make it as silent as 1.3.3?

1.3.4 didn't really speed up things. Maybe the actual task execution,
but there is still a ~10 second startup delay. jirb takes around 2
seconds to start. Is this common, or is JRuby misconfigured somehow?

Sorry for packing all the question into a single mail.
