4.1.10 tarball is borked.
Whoever packaged the tar gzip distribution didn't check that it was actually
_packaged_ properly...
I get a few gazillion broken files (noticeably with some beautiful
"././@LongLink" entries), and with all file names longer than 100 or
something characters foobared up... (like:
jakarta-tomcat-4.1.10/webapps/tomcat-docs/servletapi/javax/servlet/ServletCo
ntextAttributeEvent.html100644)
Plus, at the end, I seeeeeeee....
tar: Invalid header, starting valid header search.
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
And thank god that this is supposed to be a _release_ release... (of course
no errors in the .zip distribution, remember that WinZip doesn't friggin
built correct TAR archives)...

The tarballs works since I used them to build rpms ....

Interesting history on the issue...
http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_node/tar_117.html#SEC112
Most OSS projects that I see these days 'standardize' on GNU tar.
@see MySQL.com
@see default implementation of Ant's tar

Yes. Honestly, I would much prefer software that works become a standard
than software that doesn't. =) Oh wait, that is also my JSP/Velocity

GNU `tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive,
and
can restore individual files from the archive.
[....]
Archive format selection:
--posix write a POSIX conformant archive
[...]
GNU tar cannot read nor produce `--posix' archives. If POSIXLY_CORRECT
is set in the environment, GNU extensions are disallowed with `--posix'.
Support for POSIX is only partially implemented, don't count on it yet.

Err, I think you mean > 100, up to 255 chars. The Posix standard supports this too,
but in a different way (of course). GNU claims they were there first, but I know POSIX
used to have stuff in committee for a long time, so it's hard to know who was "really"
first. In the article you point out:

They admit that they aren't POSIX conformant, and claim that they will be, and will
do it in a different way than GNUtar does at present. Do you know if this article
is up to date? Well I guess it must be, it's on gnu.org.
Obviously it would be good if all tars could read each others' archives.

Like being able to support simple things like directory paths longer than
255 characters? If it isn't a standard, it should be!

Nope, it doesn't... I'm thinking whether we should package it up with a
standard TAR or the GNU extended version of it... Bah...

Hit return too fast... Doesn't look good with BSD tar (NetBSD and MacOS/X)
at all... Older distributions worked fine... Maybe someone changed the way
in which the tarballs are built? GNU tar works.

Which file did you try? I just downloaded "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.10.tar.gz"
(dated "30-Aug-2002 06:38") and it worked fine on RedHat 7.2. You're not
trying to use Solaris tar by any chance? :-)
