Kristian Rosenvold closed COMPRESS-290.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.10
Fixed in r1651417. I only fixed the groupid since it's a common problem for
some OSX/Mac setups (typically corporate setups).
> TarArchiveOutputStream#failForBigNumber could be more helpful

>
> We have now ported all of maven to use commons compress. When a user is
> running tar compression, we may sometimes fail because the selected tar
> format does not support big numbers.
> In this context we'd like to help our users by informing them that there may
> be other tar formats than can be more suitable. I would request that this
> method throw some specialized subclass of RuntimeException that we can catch
> to identify this particular error condition, so we can talk to our users
> about their options :)
