Has anybody tried using ant's ftp on a as/400? -----Original Message----- From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 3:45 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: Synchronize task
Yes, your <delete> combined with the previous <copy> is mostly equivalent to <lsync>, but when you <copy> several <fileset> at the same time, from different dirs, then using <lsync> is way easier (try it ;-), and this still holds for a single <fileset> as well. But ehhh guys, if you don't want to use <lsync>, don't ;-) --DD PS: Also, <lsync> doesn't expose the nested <mapper> of <copy>, since syncing with mappers is often not possible, which is not readily apparent when looking at a <copy>/<delete + present>. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Mack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 4:35 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: Synchronize task Speaking just to the issue of deleting target files which are no longer in the source directory, you could use a fileset with the "present" selector, but reversing the source/target directories: <delete> <fileset dir="${target_dir}"> <present present="srconly" targetdir="${source_dir}"/> </fileset> </delete> Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: Dominique Devienne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 2:17 PM > To: 'Ant Users List' > Subject: RE: Synchronize task > > > Syncing requires deleting files from the target directories no longer > present from the source directories, and since <copy> accepts > <fileset>s > which do not necessarily include all files of the source > directories, this > complicates things a bit. <lsync> takes care of this nicely AFAIK. > > I'm afraid no amount of <fileset> refinement can delete any > files from the > targets directories no longer present from the source > directories (or no > longer included in the fileset), which is the only advantage > <lsync> has > over <copy>. > > Sorry if my previous post offended you.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 3:33 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Synchronize task I am looking for a synchronize task for ant (for synchronizing files/and or directories without requiring using copy, since that copies possibly unneeded files). I see someone has looked for one before, but didn't find one, in the mailing list history. Has anyone written one since? If I go off to write it myself, does anyone have any code they could share that may get me started? These seems like it should be a pretty basic operation that has already been implemented over and over again elsewhere...
