Subject: Re: Tar base directory question
Hi Tom,
<tar tarfile="xxx">
<tarfileset dir="{parent dir of dist}">
<include name="dist/**" />
</tarfileset>
</tar>
should do what you want.
hope this helps
ciao
Daz
Unfortunately, there's no "prefix" attribute on tarfileset, as there is
with
zipfileset, so you'll need a workaround.
