> Key: COMPRESS-109
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-109
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Sebb
> Fix For: 1.1
>
>
> The tar implementation does not currently support Pax extended or global
> headers; they are treated as normal files.
> See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/pax.html for
> details.
> Pax headers have a different linkType (typeflag) of 'g' or 'x', so can easily
> be detected.
> It would be quite a bit of work to process all the possible headers, so
> perhaps it would be worth providing an initial implementation that just
> ignores them?
> This should probably be an optional setting.
