Thanks for the followup. I hope that the Automake maintainers consider
the issue.
No reply after > 1 week. How could we proceed here, as I'm still unable to run
'make dist' (without manual patching) in the interim? Based on my conversation
with Eric, it looks like this is something that could be changed in a future
Automake version but that could be months (or years :eek:) away. Additionally,
there doesn't seem to be anyway to change that setting at compile time (which
would be the preferred option).
BTW ustar is not really a solution to large UID/GID problems either, see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-02/msg00075.html
Ever since that patch went in, tar-ustar is no longer usable for users
with 32bit UID/GID (such as typically created by FreeIPA at least). I'd
suggest going directly to tar-pax instead, compatibility shouldn't be an
issue since OVS doesn't target antique commercial unixen anyway.
