Hi, Currently mingw-w64 release tarballs are using the posix tar format which is the default for gnu tar for some time. But there is a bad consequence, neither WinRAR or 7-zip can handle posix tar archives correctly.
So for the upcoming releases I suggest using tar --format=gnu which will use the older well-supported gnu format. P.S: This came to my attention due to https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro/issues/13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
