Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-324:
-----------------------------------------
Interesting. Your archive contains {{././@LongName}} rather than
{{././@LongLink}} as "file name" for the special entry that contains the file
name. Do you know which version of tar has created the archive?
So far we only accept entries of "link type" L if its name was
{{././@LongLink}} and this is what we've seen in the wild. It is easy to
conceive that some version used a different magic name, but we've never
encountered that. Searching for {{././@LongName}} comes up empty for me -
unlike LongLink, so it seems to be rare.
