Probably so. Could you detail what version of busybox (tar) is on both of these distributions? Give the output from: # busybox > But the end result is packages created under Eiger do not sometimes > uncompress properly under LRP 2.9.8 and packages made on LRP 2.9.8 do not > uncompress properly on Eiger (seti from lrp.gibbsoft.com is a example) Sounds logical, given that there are almost certainly different versions of busybox involved. > Though strangley enough packages made on either LRP 2.9.4 or Eiger work just > fine on one another... Not strange at all. Eiger was derived from 2.9.4; if busybox was never changed, then it will work. > This is also what stoped me dead in my tracks on creating a LRP2.9.8 image > of PPPoE....my package does not uncompress properly... It would be nice to see some tests: * Compiled under 2.9.8, does it extract under Eiger? * Compiled under Eiger, does it extract under 2.9.8? * Compiled under 2.9.8, does it extract with GNU tar? * Compiled under Eiger, does it extract with GNU tar? > I do have a seti303.lrp package available that works on Eiger....email in > private if you wish a copy... ( and yes..it uncompresses fine on LRP2.9.4 > and Eiger but not LRP 2.9.8...or did...i'll confirm this tonight) I seem to recall some tar bugs in busybox, but they should all be fixed by now. _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
