Hi all, There is a new issue Compress-583 reporting Compress 1.21 generated tars are not byte-to-byte same with older versions.And the generated tars are also different in different OSes in 1.21.
This is caused by Github PR #97(Compress-404) : the UID/GID is set in Unix in the constructor of TarArchiveEntry - but we didn't do it before 1.21.. And please note that this is the default behavior of tar(1). We didn't record this in the change log of 1.21 - and it was my bad. IMO this is not a breaking change - there's no API change. Only the generated tars is changed. But I agree that this should be documented. I want to hear about your ideas. WDYT? cheers, Lee
