> Long link support for TarArchiveOutputStream
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-237
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-237
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Fix For: 1.6
>
> Attachments: longlink.patch
>
>
> TarArchiveOutputStream doesn't handle properly long link names, they are
> truncated silently in most cases.
> * In GNU mode a @LongLink entry should be created similarly to long names but
> with the 'K' type ({{GNU_LONGLINK}}) instead of 'L' ({{GNU_LONGNAME}})
> * In POSIX mode a pax header with the {{linkpath}} keyword should be added.
> This is already implemented for links containing a non ASCII character.
> * In the default ERROR mode no exception is thrown and the link is truncated.
> The logic for adding a pax header on non ASCII characters should probably be
> reworked, as it seems possible to have pax headers mixed with GNU @LongLink
> entries. I'm not sure this is desirable.
