Bug ID: 410105
Summary: Tar might use a default format=posix, whose extension
seem not understood by 7-zip (e.g., >100 chars path)
Product: releaseme
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: sit...@kde.org
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
binary-factory.kde.org/job/KDevelop_Release_win64 started to fail over some
files from the kdevelop release tarballs with 5.3.3, created with releaseme:
during extraction 7-zip starts to try to overwrite files, with filename path
cut at length 100, failing and then things run against the wall.
It worked before with 5.3.2 tarballs, which had been tarballed by someone else
(potentially on Debian/Ubuntu), while I use openSUSE TW. For me there the
default format has been changed by packagers to be "posix" (as tar
--show-defaults tells me).
Compare also https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_67.html
especially the "Usually, GNU tar is configured to create archives in `gnu'
format, however, future version will switch to `posix'."
Searching around, I found that 7-zip seems yet to have catch up to digest the
PAX/POSIX format -> https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/2116/
So if Windows users shall be target consumers of tarballs created with
releaseme, it might be better if releaseme when calling tar tries to enforce a
format which is understood by 7-zip (potentially "gnu" or whatever is default
on ubuntu).
No own opinion here, just reporting observation. Leaving to you and Windows
support people what to do to help them.
