One or more filenames are so long that they require GNU mode 2. The platform encoding is UTF-8 3. Any character in a long filename results in a multibyte UTF-8 sequence an exception is thrown: "Problem creating TAR: request to write 'xxx' bytes exceeds size in header of 'xxx' bytes" the same has been discussed and solved in: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLXCOMP-195 with the patch applied as well bug id: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53811 is there any chance of solving them in the next release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
