Hi there, correction to my previous mail:
1) The strange split of all files between the two src archives was a failure on my side. Actually there are exactly the same files in both zip and tarball. 2) The problem with chopped off last characters in file names to some extent still exists, but it looks like a tar compatibility problem: a) Extracting with Solaris tar (even under Solaris 10) shows the problem b) Extracting with gtar 1.13 shows the problem. c) Extracting with gtar 1.14 does NOT show the problem I'm not sure, if the problem is a bug in the extracting tar, or in the archive building tar. The observation is not the usual imcompatibility betwenn standard tar and gtar relatet to path lengths. In the geronimo case the last character ist being chopped off. So I guess this situation now is mostly uncritical, although it would be nice to check, if it's a build side gnu tar problem. Sorry for the hassle Rainer
