(Please CC me in the replies as I'm not subscribed) Hello list,
examing the tarballs generated by "make dist" using "tar -tzvvf", it seems that information about group/owner of the buildsystem is being leaked. Example output - notice the jenkins/jenkins field:
# tar -tzvvf core/cfengine-3.7.0a1.5ffcc54.tar.gz | head drwxrwxr-x jenkins/jenkins 0 2015-01-16 02:54:12 cfengine-3.7.0a1.5ffcc54/ -rw-rw-r-- jenkins/jenkins 34036 2015-01-16 02:53:55 cfengine-3.7.0a1.5ffcc54/Makefile.in -rwxrwxr-x jenkins/jenkins 658314 2015-01-16 02:53:51 cfengine-3.7.0a1.5ffcc54/configure -rw-rw-r-- jenkins/jenkins 4973 2014-10-27 14:39:26 cfengine-3.7.0a1.5ffcc54/Makefile.am My workaround is to add the following in Makefile.am: TAR_OPTIONS = --owner=0 --group=0 export TAR_OPTIONS I expected that something like this would be the default though. Thanks, Dimitris
