Hi, The warning is annoying but harmless. I have not been able to trace the problem. The warning message appears when I create the packages on my linux box whereas my mac does create clean tar file. I am using the same packages on both machines?!
So, it should be safe to use the tar but please report any problems. Maybe you should consider to checkout the 2.4 branch from the repository? All 2.4.x patches will be applied to the 2.4 branch so you will be just a 'svn update' away from fixes; 'svn checkout http://lev.thep.lu.se/repository/base/branches/2.4-stable base-2.4' Cheers, Jari Bob MacCallum wrote: > Hi, > > The MD5 sum matches for the base-2.4.0-src.tar.gz I downloaded, > but when I unpack it I get this warning: > > tar: A lone zero block at 178336 > > (SUSE 10.1 Linux) > > It looks (from a 2 min Google search) like this is something to do with ant's > tar task, but I can't find a definitive explanation of the problem.
