Subject: [PATCH] archive: Store checksum correctly
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 19:57:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190723025736.23036-1-mattst88@gmail.com> (raw)
tar2sqfs (part of https://github.com/topics/tar2sqfs) rejects tarballs
made with git archive with the message
invalid tar header checksum!
tar2sqfs recomputes the tarball's checksum to verify it. Its checksum
implementation agrees with GNU tar, which contains a comment that states
Fill in the checksum field. It's formatted differently from the
other fields: it has [6] digits, a null, then a space ...
Correcting this allows tar2sqfs to correctly process the tarballs made
by git archive.
