Sure, but not for "plain" filesets. > <delete> will delete the original file. I.e. treat it like any fileset. > <copy> and others will copy or see the files with new names. I.e. <copy> has to be aware that this is not a "plain" fileset and do something special with it. The point I'm trying to make is that the meaning of the prefix attribute depends on the task - and that the task must be made aware of it to give it any meaning. In CVS HEAD, you can define <zipfileset> outside of any tasks and you can use <zipfileset> wherever you can use a <fileset> in Ant 1.5. It sounds as if you really wanted that <copy> and a couple of other tasks become aware of the fact that they are using a <zipfileset>. > I just want to avoid copying a hundreds megabytes of data just to > lay them out correctly. I completely understand that goal, just think you are tackling it from the wrong end.
