Benjamin Marwell created MASSEMBLY-1032:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: should be able to create ustar archives (i.e.
non-posix/non-GNU)
Key: MASSEMBLY-1032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MASSEMBLY-1032
Project: Maven Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-archiver
Reporter: Benjamin Marwell
Currently, the tar option will always create POSIX archives or GNU archives.
However, not all implementations of tar can handle this:
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109437
AIX 7.2 will unpack Directories named PaxHeaders.X, not sure about what happens
with GNU tar archives.
However, given that ustar is more universal until AIX 7.3.1 arrives, it would
be a reasonable option to support ustar as well. Even after that AIX release,
it might be a reasonable choice for other Unix-like systems, as the posix
standard has not been adopted widely.
