Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH] make dist: tar --owner=0 --group=0
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 10:28:18 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421854098-24389-1-git-send-email-jon@ringle.org> (raw)

From: Jon Ringle <jringle@gridpoint.com>

I have PowerBroker installed on my Ubuntu so that my machine is part of
our corporate Active Directory. A side effect of that is that the UID/GID
values are quite large and tar doesn't like it:

preparing PTXdist environment ... done
tar xf "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP.tar"
echo -n "2015.01.0_GP" > "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP/.tarball-version"
cd "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP" && ./autogen.sh
tar -rf "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP.tar" \
                "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP/configure" \
                "ptxdist-2015.01.0_GP/.tarball-version"
tar: value 1432897037 out of uid_t range 0..2097151
tar: value 1432897037 out of uid_t range 0..2097151
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
make: *** [dist] Error 2

The git archive produces a tar archive with UID/GID of 0/0, so it seems
reasonable that the extra files being append should also be 0/0.
