Hi Kathey, Since it's unlikely that we'll be able to shorten the path names before the release (or ever?), we'd probably have to state on the download page that GNU tar (or a tar that handles the GNU format) should be used for all the tarballs. Currently, we only state that for the src tarball. If we do that, we should also add longfile="gnu" to all the tar tasks in the build script to suppress the warnings. (The default is to use the GNU format and additionally emit a warning, so no need to change that before the release.) -- Knut Anders
