Vajrasky Kok added the comment: Ah, thanks for the review, Serhiy. My bad. There is no underlying bug of tar. I was confused by the behaviour of tar which is converting the absolute path to relative path.
So, adding '/home/user/dir/file' to tar when you are in '/home/user/dir' then extracting it in the same place, you'll get: '/home/user/dir/home/user/dir/file'. I thought it was a bug. But this is what it is supposed to be. I see that tarfile module is mimicking GNU tar behaviour. This is the updated patch. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33548/fix_tarfile_overwrites_symlink_v3.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19974> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
