Hello Chris,
sorry that I haven't been clear enough.
1. The ticket #4552 that I created before sending the patch to the list and that
was closed by the patch was for 5.
2. I asked as an answer to Joels review and I understood him that he is OK with
that change:
https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2021-December/070092.html
and
https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2021-December/070093.html
Again sorry I missed this when I brushed over the emails.
My fault for not making it more clear. I'll try to add this kind of
information into the first mail next time.
Do you want me to revert that patch on 5?
It does change the expected functionality and we should be careful about doing
that. It is not clear if someone has relied on it working this way as a cheap
way to detect an overwrite. I am fine on RTEMS 6 because of the upgrade and a
ticket in the release notes covering the change however if it breaks in a dot
release then that is a different issue.
Also that would be a horrible and very fragile method to detect an
overwrite (files could still be overwritten; the archive would have to
be packed correctly with a directory at the beginning to detect it
reliable) I understand your point. Even if it is unlikely, it could be
possible that someone tested for that behavior and maybe has problems if
it changes.
Given it is in maybe we let it sit and it there is feedback we come back and
take another look?
No problem with that. I will try to be extra sensitive for problems with
Untar that appear on the list in the next months.
Best regards
Christian
Chris
