Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-411:
-----------------------------------------
I think the binary encoding should now be correct, the major problem was using
{{0xff<<bits}} rather than {{0xffl<<bits}} when we wanted to set the most
significant byte.
> TarUtils.formatLongOctalOrBinaryBytes never uses result of formatLongBinary

> Key: COMPRESS-411
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-411
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Archivers
> Affects Versions: 1.14
> Reporter: Simon Spero
> Priority: Minor
>
> if the length < 9, formatLongBinary is executed, then overwritten by the
> results of formatBigIntegerBinary.
> If the results are not ignored, a unit test would fail.
> Also, do the binary hacks need to support negative numbers?
