Agreed, the dependencies are not that big in this case (at least, the ones already in Fink).

Wrong assumption about the headers on my part. Sorry for the confusion. Here's what happened: I used search.cpan.org to get the download URL, and assumed that was just a front end to the CPAN mirrors. Actually, the file downloaded from search.cpan.org had an extra gzip layer on it (and of course this wasn't reflected in the .tgz extension). The SCHILY.* extended header keyword warnings were, in fact, just warnings, and GNU tar is able to properly auto-detect the .tgz compression on the file from the CPAN mirror servers. The cgi-formbuilder-pm.info file passes validation, but if any Perl experts want to glance at it (I'm used to packaging Python and C stuff), it's in a temporary branch here before I commit everything to CVS: https://github.com/clepple/fink-dists/commit/18712affa0b2784f8ef033cd5222d72406d42963 -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

The filename extension isn't the issue - I neglected to mention that I tried renaming it to tar.gz before I tried running gzip separately. It's the tar header keyword extensions inside the gzip payload that are tripping up the integrated tar+gz auto-detector in GNU tar. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

It's only this particular file (for now). I believe we currently have packages in the distro with .tgz sources.

shouldn't fink be sending ta -xzvf ?? it's missing the -z for gzip that being said I don't think it'll fix it but it's still odd. --- TS http://www.southofheaven.org/ Life begins and ends with chaos, live between the chaos!

Re: [Fink-devel] strange .tgz file doesn't pass gnutar heuristics, but can be extracted with gunzip and tar
Hi, not sure it'll help but I've got the same behavior with the gnutar shipped with lion. gnutar version : tar (GNU tar) 1.17 so does the fink version tar --version: tar (GNU tar) 1.26 but the bsdtar works fine on that file bsdtar 2.8.3 - libarchive 2.8.3 Djamé Le 16 janv. 2014 à 15:12, Charles Lepple a écrit : > Just thought I'd throw this out there for the archives, or in case anyone > else has seen something similar. > > I'm attempting to package > http://search.cpan.org/~nwiger/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ and I get the following > at the unpack stage: > > env LANG=C LC_ALL=C /sw.lion/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions > -xvf /Users/clepple/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tgz > /sw.lion/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive > /sw.lion/bin/tar: Skipping to next header > /sw.lion/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors > ### execution of env failed, exit code 2 > > But if I manually gunzip the archive, and feed that to tar: > > $ /sw/bin/gnutar tvf ~/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tar > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' > drwxr-xr-x nateware/wheel0 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' > /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' > -rw-r--r-- nateware/wheel 17748 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/Changes > > (etc.) > > $ ls -l /sw/bin/tar > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/tar@ -> gtar > $ ls -l /sw/bin/gnutar > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/gnutar@ -> gtar > > It looks like the GNU tar heuristics get confused by the extended headers > when presented with the .tgz. > > In the short term, I think I'll just try the Debian .orig.tar.gz, but has > anyone run across this before?

[Fink-devel] strange .tgz file doesn't pass gnutar heuristics, but can be extracted with gunzip and tar
Just thought I'd throw this out there for the archives, or in case anyone else has seen something similar. I'm attempting to package http://search.cpan.org/~nwiger/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ and I get the following at the unpack stage: env LANG=C LC_ALL=C /sw.lion/bin/tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions -xvf /Users/clepple/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tgz /sw.lion/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive /sw.lion/bin/tar: Skipping to next header /sw.lion/bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors ### execution of env failed, exit code 2 But if I manually gunzip the archive, and feed that to tar: $ /sw/bin/gnutar tvf ~/Downloads/CGI-FormBuilder-3.09.tar /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' drwxr-xr-x nateware/wheel0 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/ /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino' /sw/bin/gnutar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink' -rw-r--r-- nateware/wheel 17748 2013-11-29 22:06 CGI-FormBuilder-3.09/Changes (etc.) $ ls -l /sw/bin/tar lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/tar@ -> gtar $ ls -l /sw/bin/gnutar lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 4 Nov 17 11:56 /sw/bin/gnutar@ -> gtar It looks like the GNU tar heuristics get confused by the extended headers when presented with the .tgz. In the short term, I think I'll just try the Debian .orig.tar.gz, but has anyone run across this before? (I'm assuming this is from Schily's S tar, or something similar.) $ fink --version Package manager version: 0.36.3.1 Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Thu Jan 16 08:54:42 2014, 10.7, x86_64 Trees: local/main stable/main -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
