Carol Frampton commented on FLEX-38:
------------------------------------

Ok, I see why rather than using <untar>s, <exec>s of the shell command, untar,  where used.

Ant's untar task can't handle symlinks which as far as I can tell has been a long standing issue.

Now I don't know whether the build engineer who wrote most of these scripts figured out whether each tar file had symlinks in it or just always used the shell command to be safe.

> There is a call to sh with automatically generated shell script that was used to untar the AIR archive. On Windows it wouldn't work and on Linux it would unpack with the permissions given to the user of the terminal, rather then the permissions given to Ant user (files created would be protected for Ant script later).
