Tar task weird behavior on Linux
Hello,
I am experiencing some weird behavior with the tar task on Linux. When I
run an Ant script with the fragment below, the .gz file that is created
contains a .tar[1] file rather than a .tar file. This only happens if I
execute the ant script on Linux, it works fine on Windows 2000.
<!-- .tar.gz all the source code to the deploy directory -->
<tar tarfile="${dist.dir}/${name}-${version}-src.tar"
basedir="${src.dir}" />
<gzip
zipfile="${deployDir}/${download.dir}/${name}-${version}-src.tar.gz"
src="${dist.dir}/${name}-${version}-src.tar" />
<delete file="${dist.dir}/${name}-${version}-src.tar"/>
I searched through the mail archives but could not find any reference to
this problem. What do you guys think is causing this?
thanks,

My guess is that when WinZIp temporarily extracts the contents
of the gz file to show that to you, it sees a .tar file already existing
in its temp extract directory and hence renames the file into .tar[1].
It happens all the time when I use WinZip. It shoudn't cause you
too much worries...

RE: Tar task weird behavior on Linux
Posted by Maciej Zawadzki <mb...@urbancode.com>.
After doing gzip --list on the generated .gz file, it contains a .tar file.
So that works. But still, why does WinZip think that a .gz file generated
on Linux contain a .tar[1] rather than a .tar file?
I guess that it's more of a WinZip question. But I wanted to see whether
anyone else has experienced this type of behavior and if so maybe found a
work around.
Thanks for your help Magesh.

Re: Tar task weird behavior on Linux

I suspect the problem lies on how WInZip reads the files present
in a gizp - not the way in which Ant stores the file inside it.
On linux, after creating tha tar using ant, can you run gzip --list on it
to see what the output is?

RE: Tar task weird behavior on Linux
Posted by Maciej Zawadzki <mb...@urbancode.com>.
I opened up the .gz file in windows using winZip. The funny thing is that
if the Ant script runs on windows then it produces a .gz file that contain a
.tar file. It's only if I run the ant script on Linux that .gz file
contains a .tar[1] file. Shouldn't the two .gz files (the one produced on
windows and the one produced on Linux) be exactly the same at the binary
level?
Thanks,

How did you check what files are contained inside the gz file?
Did you use native
gzip -l
or
gzip --list
? If not, will you please ensure that?
