5.6.2 tarball has funky Apple stuff in it #35

Closed dimpase closed 1 year ago

dimpase commented 1 year ago

On Linux, GNU tar 1.34:

$ wget https://github.com/gap-packages/ace/releases/download/v5.6.2/ace-5.6.2.tar.gz
$ tar xf ace-5.6.2.tar.gz 
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.lastuseddate#PS'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.TextEncoding'
$

I can fix it myself if you promote me to a maintainer (hey, I am an active user of ACE, after all, cf. https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.01710)

But what is the problem? Is it just that it violates a desire for tidiness or is there an actual problem?

dimpase commented 1 year ago

desire for tidiness

this, as well as possible breakage of (CI, or not) scripts, which might check that tar does not complain.

Ok, if you encounter such breakage, please report it
