Is this a tarball, or a compressed tarball? There's a longstanding bug (which I'm told is going to get fixed eventually!) in the AWS Console whereby any non-7-bit-clean user-data files get mangled and come out with each byte UTF-8 encoded. I was only aware of this as an issue with the Console but it's entirely possible that someone at Amazon wrote the same bug in multiple places. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-cloud To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
