I thought I pass a little bit of recently accquired knowldge onto this |
| 2 |
list, and that is to make sure any machines release managers or arch |
| 3 |
leads are using to compile stages with do not use tar-1.13.92* for |
| 4 |
packaging the stages. |

|
| 6 |
Whether this error I have will be reproducable on other arches is |
| 7 |
unknown, but my experience taught me that busybox-01.00pre5 and 1.00pre6 |
| 8 |
will not unpack a stage built with this version. |

/gentoo # tar x -f stage1-mips4-20040131.tar |
| 11 |
tar: Couldnt remove old file: Is a directory |
| 12 |
(same applies if the stageball is bzip2'ed and one passes -j to |
| 13 |
busybox's tar). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Anyone got ideas on the causes of this? |
