From cdac332d20d2d1326dee0111e188fa214549122b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Korsgaard Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2018 11:48:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] check-host-tar.sh: bump minimum tar version to 1.27 for reproducible tar files with long paths Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b18/b187e64a61918f17f69588e2355a03286bc5808e tar 1.27 subtly changed the tar format when a GNU long link entry is added (which is done for path elements > 100 characters). The code used to set the permission mode of the link entry to 0: header = start_private_header ("././@LongLink", size, time (NULL)); FILL (header->header.mtime, '0'); FILL (header->header.mode, '0'); FILL (header->header.uid, '0'); FILL (header->header.gid, '0'); FILL (header->header.devmajor, 0); FILL (header->header.devminor, 0); This got dropped in 1.27 by commit df7b55a8f6354e3 (Fix some problems with negative and out-of-range integers), so the settings from start_private_header() are used directly - Which are: TIME_TO_CHARS (t < 0 ? 0 : min (t, MAX_OCTAL_VAL (header->header.mtime)), header->header.mtime); MODE_TO_CHARS (S_IFREG|S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH, header->header.mode); UID_TO_CHARS (0, header->header.uid); GID_TO_CHARS (0, header->header.gid); The end result is that tar >= 1.27 sets mode to 644. The consequence of this is that we create different tar files when long path names are encountered (which often happens when a package downloads a specific sha1 from a git repo) depending on the host tar version used, causing hash mismatches. As a workaround, bump our minimum tar version to 1.27. It would be nicer to only do this if we have packages from bzr/git/hg enabled, but that is an exercise for later.
