Hi.The problem was solved. I renamed tar to gnutar, and created a tar.bat file with a single line:
--------- gnutar %* --owner=0 "--mode=0700" ---------
now make dist creates indexer-acceptable tarballs. (thanks to David Cantrell)btw, the gnutar have an extended mode option, where it can be written as "--mode=o-w", but the indexer was not satisfied.
