Release build and spaces in path

Hi,

Seems the unzip ant task dislike spaces even when escaped. So I had to come up with another solution.

You can create another directory (without spaces) that's a soft link to the path with spaces and change the basedir path in build.xml (line 21) to be an absolute path to the soft link.

Thanks,
Justin

HI,

Nope. Tried in the property, and in the unzip call using both "'.....'" and '"...."'.

On OSX - everything now works with spaces except ant unzip. 

Event tried the write the property to a file and do a replace on it (replacing " " with "\\\\ " in ant should do the job btw) and read it back trick.

Just curious.  Are you using a Unix shell on Windows and escaping Unix
style?
