GNU Tar sometimes uses binary encoding for UID and GID ------------------------------------------------------
Key: COMPRESS-175 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-175 Project: Commons Compress Issue Type: Bug Components: Archivers Affects Versions: 1.3 Reporter: Thomas Hallgren Some tar files have UID and GID fields that start with the binary marker 0x80. The TarArchiveEntry is unable to cope with that since it assumes that UID and GID are always ASCII. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
