Hi all, tar 1.24 seems to do the --strip-components first, before a match was done.
This breaks older usages. Best regards, Christian How to reproduce: ------------------ mkdir -p strip1/strip2/strip/ touch strip1/strip2/strip/a tar cf strip.tar strip1 tar --strip-components=2 -xvf strip.tar strip1 Results: tar 1.24: > mkdir -p strip1/strip2/strip/ > touch strip1/strip2/strip/a > tar cf strip.tar strip1 > tar --strip-components=2 -xvf strip.tar strip1 tar: strip1: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors tar 1.23: > mkdir -p strip1/strip2/strip/ > touch strip1/strip2/strip/a > tar cf strip.tar strip1 > tar --strip-components=2 -xvf strip.tar strip1 strip1/strip2/strip/ strip1/strip2/strip/a The information included in this e-mail and any files transmitted with it is strictly confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
