Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-338:
-----------------------------------------
I've added an improved Lister class with commit 02e0f9a - we seem to detect
(sym)links as well as GNU tar does.
> fill some gaps in tar implementation
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-338
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-338
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
>
> The test archive linked to in COMPRESS-336 shows our tar code isn't
> completely on par with the python lib that uses it for its tests:
> * we don't seem to identify all kinds of links (./ustar/linktest2/symtype ->
> ../linktest1/regtype is identified as two entries, as is
> ./ustar/linktest2/lnktype link to ./ustar/linktest1/regtype)
> * we only seem to parse gnu/sparse-0.0 properly, not 0.1 or 1.0
> * {{Lister}} shows parts of the Pax-Headers as extra entries for the pax/
> headers
> * I'm not sure about the non-ASCII characters in a bunch of file names
> It is probably best to pick the issues independently as subtasks of this.
