Hello dear Ant Developers,


I suggest making the Pack and Unpack Tasks a subclass of Matching Task in=
stead=20
of Task.


Reason:

Packing several files with a single task-def, like
<gzip>
=09<fileset dir=3D"dest">
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.tar"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.html"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.xhtml"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.css"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.xml"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.svg"/>
=09=09<include name=3D"**/*.xml"/>
=09</fileset>
</gzip>


Why do I want to compress all .html and .xhtml files?

Because my internet provider has no apache module for automatic compressi=
on=20
installed, but I want the files to be transmitted to the user agent in a=20
compressed form if the user agent supports decompression (Accept-Encoding=
:=20
gzip).


Temporary Workaround:

Use a Makefile like this:

compress: $(addsuffix .gz, $(shell find dest -name "*.tar" -or -name "*.h=
tml"=20
-or -name "*.xhtml"...))

%.gz: %
=09gzip -c $< >$@

Or a bash shell script like this:

for i in `find dest -name "*.tar" -or -name "*.html" -or -name "*.xhtml".=
=2E.`
do
=09gzip -c $i >$i.gz
done

Which you both might invoke from ant using the exec task.

Quirk in workarounds: system dependent.


Bye
