http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31984 Tar task seems to be inserting "lone zero blocks" Summary: Tar task seems to be inserting "lone zero blocks" Product: Ant Version: 1.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I noticed that the GNU tar 1.14 was producing warnings about "lone zero block found" when unpacking certain packages from the web. I've experienced this with the 2.6.2 Xerces-J-bin, and also with the 4.0.0 JBoss source package. I asked the JBoss people, and they said they created the archives with Ant 1.6.2, and I assume that Xerces is built with Ant. So either jboss-4.0.0-src.tar.bz2 or Xerces-J-bin.2.6.2.tar.gz can be considered a reproducible case for this. The warning out of GNU tar is just that. I checked the source code, and the two paths of execution are identical except for issuing the message. But clearly the GNU code thinks the block shouldn't be there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
