Extracting of linux archives with tar is failing #119

Closed peterkir closed 1 week ago

peterkir commented 1 week ago

extraction of https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/drops/release/1.34.0-a/products/**eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz** archive is not working on linux. tar is giving error messages like tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.creationtime'

Those are warnings not errors aren't they?

In any case, they are created by Tycho but now Tycho supports disabling that...

When this build finishes:

https://ci.eclipse.org/oomph/job/build/job/master/

The products here will be updated:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/products/latest/

And then you can confirm that they are fixed.

Of course all future builds will be configured to avoid this problem.

FYI, in lots of places I've used the following: 

tar --warning=no-unknown-keyword -xf eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz

So the installers are definitely not broken/invalid, just lots of annoying though suppressible warnings.

Thx a lot. Avoiding the errors is acceptable for this :-)
