In order to test bsdtar's automatic format detection and
support for variant tar formats, I'm looking for sample
archives generated by a variety of tar programs.
By popular demand, I've created a shell script that
builds a directory with a variety of interesting
and unusual things in it. The script is called
"TarTest.sh" and it can be downloaded from:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kientzle/libarchive/src/
Note that this script does some pretty obscure and
sometimes unpleasant things. Expect to do a
little editing to get it to work on your system,
and expect to experiment a bit with tar options
to try to find a way to get your tar program to
archive as many of the details as possible.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Tim Kientzle
