Re: [Exist-development] ANT tasks to change/set permissions?

[Joe W. <jo...@gm...>]

Hi Andrzej,

Great, I understand now.  I just have one final question: Does the new
"permissions" attribute for chmod still allow the alternate format
(quoting from the current docs):

  [user|group|other]=[+|-][read|write|execute]
  For example, to set read and write permissions for the group, but
not for others:</para>
     <synopsis>group=+read,+write,other=-read,-write

?  Or does it only take the flat 'rwxrwxrwx' style?

Thanks,
Joe
