Lars Gustäbel added the comment: Apparently, the problem is located in TarInfo._proc_gnulong(). I attached a patch.
When tarfile reads an archive, it strips trailing slashes from all filenames, except GNUTYPE_LONGNAME headers, which is a bug. tarfile creates GNU_FORMAT tar files by default, hence it uses an additional GNUTYPE_LONGNAME header for filenames >100 chars. That's why tarfile_issue.py fails if used with PAX_FORMAT, because PAX_FORMAT doesn't have this bug. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36045/issue21987.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21987> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
