http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28776 tar task produces incorrect tar files ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-07-16 15:15 ------- The patch of Oliver Rossmueller is making another 0 block. Maybe we need more than that ? What I am missing is a document defining the specification of tar. I searched to find an implementation of tar in c, and here is what I found : http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/tar/tar/src/create.c?rev=1.85&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup /* Write the EOT block(s). Zero at least two blocks, through the end of the record. Old tar, as previous versions of GNU tar, writes garbage after two zeroed blocks. */ void write_eot (void) { union block *pointer = find_next_block (); memset (pointer->buffer, 0, BLOCKSIZE); set_next_block_after (pointer); pointer = find_next_block (); memset (pointer->buffer, 0, available_space_after (pointer)); set_next_block_after (pointer); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
