             Summary: assembly plugin should use posix, not gnu for tarLongFileMode
                 Key: MPOM-132
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-132
             Project: Maven POMs
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: asf
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: ASF-19


{{<tarLongFileMode>gnu</tarLongFileMode>}} causes some issues on some platforms. Most modern versions of tar support the newer {{posix}} mode, which supports all the features {{gnu}} does, plus more.

Instead of the release profile's execution of the source-release-assembly using the above setting, that should be removed from the assembly configuration, and instead, the parent pom should add the following to the {{<properties>}}:

{{<assembly.tarLongFileMode>posix</assembly.tarLongFileMode>}}
