I finally got the commenting of zip files working the way I want but am still
having to add a file to the zip to get the comment added. I create the list of
zip files as a property file:
<target name="__create_zip_file_list">
<if>
<available file="${__zFlistFname}"/>
<then>
<echo file="${__zFlistFname}"
append="true">,${__zFileToAdd}</echo>
</then>
<else>
<echo
file="${__zFlistFname}">${__PropertyName}=${__zFileToAdd}</echo>
</else>
</if>
</target>
Then once all of the zip files have been created, I:
<loadproperties
srcfile="${release_dir}/complete/comment_FileList_${build_time}.properties"/>
<antcall target="__comment_zip_file">
<param name="__zFpath" value="${release_dir}/complete"/>
<param name="__zFlist" value="${complete.file.list}"/>
</antcall>
Then I use antcall to call the target that updates the zip file comment:
<antcall target="__comment_zip_file">
<param name="__zFpath" value="${release_dir}/complete"/>
<param name="__zFlist" value="${complete.file.list}"/>
</antcall>
Inside __comment_zip_file:
I set the a variable with the comment text:
<var name="_Comment" value="${_RelCoord}
${_FileList}
Special instructions:
The file: ${_release_comment_file} is the same file in all of the zip files and
extracts to the same directory structure.
It is safe overwrite the existing file.
"/>
This sets the variable, but it does not include the carriage returns. I create
a file containing the comment info and call the zip task to add the comment:
<for list="${__zFlist}" param="File" trim="true">
<sequential>
<zip destfile="${__zFpath}/@{File}" update="true" comment="${_Comment}">
<zipfileset dir="${__zFpath}" includes="${_release_comment_file}"
prefix="xxx"/>
</zip>
</sequential>
I am using ant from eclipse 3.2.2.
Is there a way to add a comment to a zip file without adding a file?
Is there a way to have the comment variable retain the carriage returns?
Thank you,
Chuck Holzwarth
