It is reproducible (at least on my machine). Same problem with Firefox 3 and Safari 4beta. The tar file placed in web2py/deposit exhibits the same problem as the file that is downloaded. Both files are identical as verified by md5 checksums, so it is not happing during the transfer, but with I am guessing the tar function.
Switching over to the windows side, after setting up my app "manually", I am able to pack, and then verify the tar. No problems. Time passes...and I get an idea while writing this response. Looking like the problem is on the mac side I decided to check a couple things. Turns out I am running Python 2.6.1 (from macports and running web2py from source). If I use the "default" python 2.5.1, my tar problem goes away. It looks like a Python v2.6.1 vs v2.5.1 that causes this issue. Is there a Python 2.5 requirement for web2py, or is this a version difference bug? John On Apr 14, 10:22 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Is this reproducible?
