tags 402179 + patch upstream fixed-upstream thanks
Attached is the diff for tests/append02 between upstream released versions 1.16 and 1.16.1. This patch should fix the problem. I guess the opotions are to aply this patch to 1.16 or package 1.16.1. I guess applying the patch is the better option if we wnat to fix this for etch. The only testing of this patch I have done is by runing the following... probably someone else should confirm the fix! This script should prove the point runing essentially the same code stand alone... based on the eariler stand alone code in this bug report ---8<--- #!/bin/sh # Make sure file timestamps in the archive will not differ MTIME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" export TAR_OPTIONS="-H posix --pax-option=exthdr.name=%d/PaxHeaders/%f,delete=mtime,delete=atime,delete=ctime" echo hello > file1 echo goodbye > file2 while :; do tar $MTIME -cf archive.1 file1 file2 tar $MTIME -cf archive.2 -T /dev/null tar $MTIME -rf archive.2 file1 tar $MTIME -rf archive.2 file2 if cmp archive.1 archive.2 >/dev/null; then echo -n . else echo -n + fi done ---8<--- Regards Alex Owen
