There might be some places where tar is incorrectly omitting O_BINARY on platforms where it matters; I got a report from a cygwin user that tar was failing on a text mount drive, but have not yet had a chance to investigate (cygwin recommends binary mounts rather than text mounts, precisely so that the lack of O_BINARY doesn't hurt - but not everyone follows that recommendation). But whether or not I have time to poke around and post patches this week, it doesn't affect platforms without O_BINARY, and doesn't necessarily need to hold up a release (since I package tar for cygwin, I can add downstream patches if something didn't make it upstream in time). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
