Actually, TarFile should also have a separate method to take a TarInfo instance
and modify its type to LNKTYPE if applicable. gettarinfo can call that.
This way the user can use a TarInfo object created before any files are added,
and can easily get this
New submission from Michael Gold :
When I call tar.gettarinfo (where tar is a TarFile instance), the inode
information is inserted into tar.inodes. If I later call tar.gettarinfo on a
linked file, the returned TarInfo will have type LNKTYPE.
I think it's incorrect to store this inform
New submission from Michael Gold :
In TarFile.chown, if the lookup
u = pwd.getpwnam(tarinfo.uname)[2]
fails, this line is used:
u = pwd.getpwuid(tarinfo.uid)[2]
This will fail if the uid isn't in /etc/passwd. I think "u = tarinfo.uid"
would make more sense. This fallbac
