New submission from mkv <mvirk...@cc.hut.fi>: When creating tar archives using the tarfile module, requested arc names are not respected.
It is currently impossible to create a tar which when listing contents would give: $tar tvf test.tar ./ ./control ./prerm ./postinst The actual result will be $tar tvf test.tar ./ control prerm postinst This is caused by TarInfo's tobuf method calling normpath() on all file names, even when the user has explicitly specified a certain name. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 88033 nosy: mkv severity: normal status: open title: tarfile normalizes arcname type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6054> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
