Greetings, attached is the patch to update Archive::Tar to 1.32; this addresses the build issues rgs encountered when building a perl with -Dmksymlinks. As per usual, all tests successful on my development box (with - Dmksymlinks ;). Below is the relevant part of the changelog: * important changes in version 1.32 24/5/2007: - Make Archive::Tar work nicely with perls compiled with -Dmksymlinks. This also fixes an issue introduced in 1.31 where symlinks weren't dereferenced in all cases. - Quell warnings when a gid is not resolvable to a group name -- JosThread Next
