Unable to create tar using ANT

Question

I am trying to create tar and exclude file from directory roopendra but its not seems to work. When I am trying to untar file I am getting error gzip: stdin: not in gzip format. my file exclude also not working. After running build.xml its creating tar but when I am trying to untar as below. I am using Ant version 1.9.3

Command :

$ tar -xvzf projecttar.tar.gz

Getting Error :

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

build.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="testdir" default="all_task" basedir=".">
  <property name="src"   value="src"/>
    <property name="build" value="build"/>
      <property name="lib"   value="lib"/>
      <property name="project.dir" value="${project}/testdir" />

        <target name="all_task">
           <antcall target="create_directory"/>
           <antcall target="create_tar"/>
        </target>

        <target name="create_directory">
          <mkdir dir="${dist}" />
          <echo message=" ${dist} directory created successfully" />
        </target>

        <target name="create_tar">
          <tar destfile="${project}/build/projecttar.tar.gz" compression="gzip"
                       basedir="${project.dir}"
                                   excludes="${project.dir}/roopendra/**"/>
         </target>

</project>

Build Command :-

ant -buildfile build.xml -Ddist=/home/pathto/roop/projectRv/ -Dproject=/home/pathto/roop/   

Output :-

Buildfile: /opt/apache-ant-1.9.3/build.xml

all_task:

create_directory:
     [echo]  /home/pathto/roop/projectRv/ directory created successfully

create_tar:
      [tar] Building tar: /home/pathto/roop/build/projecttar.tar.gz

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

I have already tried : Ant not creating tar files

After run

ant -v

Answer 1

Finally, I have got solution here http://www.donaldsimpson.co.uk/?p=122 . file permissions were not being preserved when Taring up a build with Ant

<target name="create_tar">
    <tar destfile="${project}/build/projecttar.tar.gz" basedir="${project.dir}" longfile="gnu" compression="gzip">

      <tarfileset dir="${project}/build/" filemode="755">
            <include name="**/*roopendra/*.sh" />
      </tarfileset>

    </tar>
</target>
