is it possible to have different addParentDirs and/or createDirectoryEntry per from or into?

I have different things to copy to the rpm, and for some I want to create directories and for others I don't. I tried to do something like

    task("serviceRpm", type: Rpm) {
      description "blah"

      os LINUX
      type BINARY
      arch NOARCH
      packageDescription "TBD"
      summary "TBD"
      url "foo"
      vendor "foo"
      packager "foo"
      version "0"
      release "1234"

      from(stagingDir) {

        createDirectoryEntry = true
        addParentDirs = true

        user osUser
        permissionGroup osGroup
        into "/whatever"
      }

      from("/tmp/test") {

        createDirectoryEntry = false
        addParentDirs = false

        user osUser
        permissionGroup osGroup
        into "/whatever-else"
      }
}

But it seems the configuration from the second block (/tmp/test -> /whatever-else) is applied to both copies. The same is true if I set both to true in the second and both to true in the first, the behaviour is as if both variables were true in both copies

Actually, directory creation control doesn't seem to work the way I understand it. Unless I don't understand the test suite, this patch extends the RpmPluginTest so that it checks that directories are not created when addParentDirs is false, but that fails as all /a, ./a/path, ./a/path/not, ./a/path/not/to, ./a/path/not/to/create, ./a/path/not/to/create/alone directories are created

I think this is related to #182.

Fixed with the release of v4.3.0 today
