anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com> added the comment: 7zip can decompress both, but it still creates "dist/" directory when decompressing file that is made with Python.
I've noticed this bug with extra path component is actual with "tar" + "gzip" under windows. If they are executed separately and windows path with backslashes is used - directory prefix is not stripped. I.e. this creates archive with invalid header: {{{ tar -cf dist\create_tar_sep.tar package gzip -f9 dist\create_tar_sep.tar }}} This command is ok: {{{ tar -cf dist\create_tar_sep.tar package gzip -f9 dist/create_tar_sep.tar }}} _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4750> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
