Any source directories will be scanned for changes to any on-disk files, regardless of whether or not &scons; knows about them from other Builder or function calls. env.Tar('src.tar', 'src') # Create the stuff.tar file. env.Tar('stuff', ['subdir1', 'subdir2']) # Also add "another" to the stuff.tar file. env.Tar('stuff', 'another') # Set TARFLAGS to create a gzip-filtered archive. env = Environment(TARFLAGS = '-c -z') env.Tar('foo.tar.gz', 'foo') # Also set the suffix to .tgz. env = Environment(TARFLAGS = '-c -z', TARSUFFIX = '.tgz') env.Tar('foo')
