hello and happy new year !!! question : what is the tar command line options/parameters to tar an iar ? i am not a C# dev so is there a way to create an iar archive outside of a simulator console ? (cli ? php ? python ?)
Explanation : i run a standalone simulator from scratch with Test User. i create an iar archive for this user with "save iar Test User / test test_user.iar". using my wsl2 command line, i extract the file with : tar -zxf test_user.iar i can access the files and folders. without touching nothing, i compress again to get the iar again with : tar -zcf test_user.iar * then, when using the simulator command "load iar -m Test User / test test_user.iar", it is answering : "Archive load for Test User failed - The IAR you are trying to load does not list all inventory/ before assets/". when reading the opensimulator source code, i can see that the tar is using tar format v7 with a hack to use long filenames. when i am trying "tar --format=v7 -zcf ....." it complains about too long file name. i could see that the issue is not coming from gzip but from the tar itself. here is the 7zip information between the 2 tar files after gzip uncompression : ------------ORIGINAL FROM SAVE IAR------------: Size: 348 406 Packed Size: 354 816 Folders: 21 Files: 25 ------------------------: Path: F:\iars\temp\original\test_user.tar Type: tar Warnings: Headers Error Physical Size: 392 704 Headers Size: 37 888 Code Page: UTF-8 Characteristics: LongName ASCII ------------------------: ------------UNTAR then TAR------------: Size: 348 406 Packed Size: 354 816 Folders: 21 Files: 25 ------------------------: Path: F:\iars\temp\modified\test_user.tar Type: tar Physical Size: 399 360 Headers Size: 44 544 Code Page: UTF-8 Characteristics: GNU LongName ASCII ------------------------: ------------------------: _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@opensimulator.org http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
