fermikit-0.12.tar.bz2 has weird Mac OS extensions

sjackman opened this issue · 2 comments

Extracting fermikit-0.12.tar.bz2 on Linux causes tar to fail with a non-zero exit status due to non-standard BSD extensions in the tar file.

$ tar xf fermikit-0.12.tar.bz2 
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.creationtime'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.nlink'

See Fix Tar Errors on OS X and superuser.

The fix is to set set an environment variable before creating the tar file on Mac OS.

export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true

I have updated fermikit-0.12.tar.bz2. It should be fine now.

Thanks, Heng.
