The patch there looks invalid, because it looks like it just assigns more bits in the tarfile for the gid/uid, which I don't think is part of the standard. Though maybe I'm misinterpreting the patch.
However, I do think this branch would solve that bug, as newer tarfiles seem to have explicit support for negative numbers (see the itn() function in this branch's tarfile.py). -- https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/duplicity/tarfile/+merge/72422 Your team duplicity-team is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~mterry/duplicity/tarfile into lp:duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
