ANT, gzip/tar targets and the Zaurus.
Whilst trying to build a little build.xml task for the Sharp
Zaurus - I ran into a problem with the way ANT does the gzipping
and the tarring.
The zaurus seems to
- Want its file with a string uid rather than '0'
- Wants its gzip files of OS type unix and with
the original name.
- It wants filenames to start with a './' starting.
As other wise the debian like pkg management system is not happy.
I.e. It expects:
$ file java-anttest_1.00_arm.ipk: gzip compressed data,
deflated, original filename,
last modified: Tue Nov 27 16:48:01 2001, os: Unix
rather than
$ file java-anttest_1.00_arm.ipk:
gzip compressed data, deflated, last modified: Thu Jan 1
01:00:00 1970, os: MS-DOS
and for the inside of the tar it wants entries:
$ tar ztvf ~/Sites/java-hello_1.00_arm.ipk
-rw-r--r-- zaurus/sharp 275 2002-04-05 14:48:42 ./control.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- zaurus/sharp 2350 2002-04-05 14:49:13 ./data.tar.gz
rather than
$ tar zvtf dist/java-hello_1.00_arm.ipk
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 260 2002-04-05 14:54:00 control.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 2420 2002-04-05 14:54:00 data.tar.gz
What are my chances of getting these capabilities into ant ? Right now I
am using an external shell script to do the 'right' thing with a bit
of tar/gzip magic from the cmd line.

Inside the tar file? Use tarfileset to collect your files, you have
the option to specify the uid there.

Bad luck 8-(
We are using Java's built-in classes to write the gzip files. If
these classes create the files the wrong way, there is nothing much we
can do.
We could reimplement the GZIPOutputStream class, we are already doing
so for ZipOutputStream. Want to lend a hand?

Again, tarfilest is your friend (but only if you use the CVS version
of Ant).
<tar destfile="java-anttest_1.00_arm">
<tarfileset dir="." username="dirkx" prefix="./">
<include ...>
</tarfileset>
</tar>
