Floris Bruynooghe commented on JENKINS-12630:
---------------------------------------------
Sure, but I explicitly don't want to do that. I want to keep the test host as
close to a minimal install as possible to make the tests more valuable.
> Solaris tar does not support gzip (z option)

> Key: JENKINS-12630
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12630
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: slave-setup
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Solaris 10
> Reporter: Floris Bruynooghe
> Assignee: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
>
> Jenkins is trying to deploy a new JDK onto a slave and is using a
> GNU-extension to tar which gunzips tarfiles on the fly:
> Building remotely on despina in workspace /export/home/hudson/workspace/xunit
> Installing JDK jdk-7-oth-JPR
> Downloading JDK from
> http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7/jdk-7-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz
> Downloading 12979380bytes
> Installing /export/home/hudson/tools/JRE/jdk.sh
> [JRE] $ tar xvzf /export/home/hudson/tools/JRE/jdk.sh
> tar: z: unknown function modifier
> Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize]
> [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory
> file}...
> ERROR: Failed to install JDK. Exit code=1
> Finished: FAILURE
> The correct way to unpack this tarfile for Solaris (or any POSIX machine) is
> "gunzip -c /export/home/hudson/tools/JRE/jdk.sh | tar -xvf -"
