port command having trouble unpacking on 10.2.8

after cleaning this port I did the same with -d option:

this seems to be the cause:

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe

Since I experienced the same on another Jaguar machine two days ago (and thought is comes from the fact that I had chosen a different prefix (just /opt instead of /opt/local)) I can say it's not just this dport that fails to unpack but every dependency so it seems to be a general problem on 10.2.8. Btw this was done with a fresh cvs checkout from today.

Thanks, Lars

P.S.:

I know how to circumvent this by mannually unpacking each port from /opt/local/var/db/dports/ distfiles/ to the work directory by adding the -C option to the tar command. But this is annoying and not the way it is supposed to be (unless you say: "Jaguar is no longer supported, use Panther or suffer, tard!"

Both 10.2 and 10.3 systems have gnu tar (which supports --no-same-owner) installed as 'gnutar', so perhaps we should check for the existence of 'gnutar' with our configure script and use it instead of tar if it's available.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Oh, this won't work.

gnutar on 10.2 (1.13) doesn't support --no-same-owner :(

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

new autoconf test for tar --no-same-owner support

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

Could someone with commit on /base please check over the patch and give comments (or commit it?)

Thanks.

Committed. Thanks Daniel. Nice work. You can now be the official auto-monkey ;)
