Package: multistrap
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
After settings "tarballname" option, tar creation fails with following
error:
Compressing multistrap system in '/tmp/trutututu/' to a tarball called:
'mrymry.tar.gz'.
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.
Patch below seems to fix this issue - i've moved "." outside of shellescape(),
it's not needed there anyway i think.
