i'm trying to understand this; do we really want to extract files with xattrs? is there a way to simply squash whatever xattrs there might be?
I don't think this changes the behavior of the extraction. The issue is the tarfile barfs on the unicode encoded headers which means we can pull some newer images.
right, i think i understood that from the code; i'm more wondering if the code should be deleting the xattrs instead of fixing them
perhaps ALL the xattrs; it's unclear what value they generate in the shifter model of execution
This fixes #267. It does a monkeypatch to the tarfile library.
The monkey patch as can be seen is from Vincent Batts.
