Hej,

As I noticed there was an update to the new svn version (1305), I went to my roster2 site to download the update package.
This time I figured "let's try the tarball", since I usually like those better.
However, the file that I received for download doesn't look anything like a tarball at all!

Code: Select all

#> tar tzvvf WoWRoster_UpdatePackage_20070905_0216.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


Makes me wonder what it is, if it isn't a tarball...

Code: Select all

#> file WoWRoster_UpdatePackage_20070905_0216.tar.gz
WoWRoster_UpdatePackage_20070905_0216.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix


Ok, so unzip it:

Code: Select all

#> gunzip WoWRoster_UpdatePackage_20070905_0216.tar.gz

gzip: WoWRoster_UpdatePackage_20070905_0216.tar.gz: unexpected end of file


As the tar command already told us. Also 'unzip' from the InfoZIP package fails in the same way.
.. so any idea what's up with that?

The normal .zip download works fine and can be extracted without problems using the 'unzip' from InfoZIP.

BTW: this behaviour is not specific to this svn version, I've seen it both on 1298 and on an older svn version (1267 I think)

Greetz,

I dunno to be honest

I looked at the code and hurt myself.

Same here

Hahaha, well, if it's that bad I suggest you guys either rewrite it from scratch or remove it
(assuming it's not just broken on my install)

Well, the code that makes the tar.gz file is actually on this server
I wonder if the machine needs the ability to actually make tar.gz files

The code that makes the TAR seems to be in the zip itself. Then it uses a php function to encode that to gz.

Well, my machine certainly can create .tar.gz files, question is how you guys are doing it. (for instance, most versions of the tar program can do it. Not sure what you need to do it in php though).
Maybe I should take a look at the code tomorrow when I'm not so tired anymore

Well, the code isn't distributed with Roster itself
You can find the file in the svn
