Bug#4195: dpkg-source and new tar package don't mix

1996-08-20 Thread Bruce Perens
Package: dpkg Version: 1.3.5 The latest iteration of the tar package unfortunately is not able to understand the "--" flag. I suggest you not use that flag in dpkg-source for now. Thanks Bruce

Bug#4196: tar doesn't understand "--" flag.

Package: tar Version: 1.11.11-1 Tar complains a lot in the form directory-name: Could not create directory: Directory not empty As far as I can tell, this is spurious.

Bug#4197: tar doesn't understand "--" flag

What parts of "TeX" are architecture independent?

1996-08-20 Thread llucius
I finally bit the bullet and started work on the TeX packages to make them build on multiple architectures. Well, since I don't much at all about TeX, I'm not sure what's platform specific. I'm especially concerned about endianness. As far as I can gather, the only files that aren't independ

Package: tar Version: 1.11.11-1 It seems the newest version of 'tar' sets (during extract) the uid/gid and the mtime of the file a symlink points to instead of the symlink itself. Here is a source directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 bcwhite verisim 5731 Jul 21 16:02 database-gdbm.cc -rw-r--r-- 1
