Hello,

Right now tar preserves the ownership of files when it extracts source tarballs. This leaks to the final installation sometimes (linux and subversion). Is it a good idea to pass --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions to tar in the "unpack" script?

That should be fine, but do you mind explaining in a little more detail exactly how linux and subversion leak ownership settings?

ls -l /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.12/include    # that was my bug in
                                          # debian-style-headers.sh

ls -l /usr/include/apr-0                  # Bug in Subversion

That would show UIDs of 500 and 1001. These are UIDs of Linux and Subversion packagers.

It is worked around in r292 by an explicit chown for Subversion and "cp -r" instead of "cp -a" for /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.12.
