It is not something in git-archive, but it is hard to reproduce. I did spotted a bug in a archive creation script. If I do a
tar cfz archive.tar.bz2 <directory> # name the file .bz2, but use the -z (gzip) compression flag unpack tar xvf archive.tar.bz2 sometimes you get the warning mentioned in this bugreport, but not always. If I do this on some test directory everything works ok. -- tar: Record size = 8 blocks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/562083 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
