Hello,
I am a newbie to this mailing list, i have seen in some mail
discussions about a tar archive creation by forcibly setting the
UID/GID to a specific user (say root).
Hello Bheemesh,
This mailing list is for the development of Python, not for developing
*with* Python. There are other more appropriate mailing lists where you
will hopefully get helpful answers:
The Python tutor list
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
The comp.lang.python newsgroup
The email gateway: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
A google groups interface:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/topics?lnk=li&hl=en&pli=1
All the best,
Michael Foord
Te code mentioned goes like this:
tar = tarfile.open("foo.tar.gz", "w:gz")
for filename in filenames:
tarinfo = tar.gettarinfo(filename)
if tarinfo.isreg():
fobj = open(filename)
else:
fobj = None
tarinfo.uid = 0
tarinfo.gid = 0
tar.addfile(tarinfo, fobj)
tar.close()
But this is not really working for me as when i am trying to un-tar or
un-compress contents to a new directory and contents still have diff
GID & UID in the long listing of directory.
Can somebody suggest an alternative or a working case if already
changes are done here.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bheemesh
