Matthias Friedrich commented on CRUNCH-66:
------------------------------------------
Yep, it creates a tar file identical to the ZIP, and even the permissions for
the scrunch script are correct. The reason why I chose ZIP originally was that
our file names are longer than 100 characters which is beyond what the original
tar format supports. Some tar implementations can read it, others can't (GNU
tar probably can). The assembly plugin warns about this, you can set
tarLongFileMode but I have no idea what the consequences are for non-GNU tars
if you set it to "gnu".
Anyway, we definitely want to be part of Bigtop, so +1 :)

> The Bigtop folks assume tar.gz-based source files for all of their packaging
> tools, so we should add tar.gz as a format for our release assembly in order
> to play nicely with the other projects.
