Description
I'm using this module on a Solaris machine. The default tar is not gnu tar, and does not support all the options.
The module worked anyway by using Archive/Tar.php.
I found these messages in the apache error log:
tar: s: unknown function modifier
Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize] [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}...
tar: z: unknown function modifier
Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize] [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}...
It would just be nice to avoid putting those errors in the log.
#1
That sounds good. Maybe we should check to make sure that we have not only tar, but GNU tar.
#2
Also an issue on BSDs. The issue is non-gnu tar, classic tar.
#3
Also, the title isn't about tar's options but about the path. Just "tar" isn't enough, but /bin/tar is, but should be configurable.
