gobject-introspection fails to install on 10.14 18A326h due to tar error — at Version 5

Reported by: rben01 (Robert) Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.5.3
Keywords: mojave Cc:
Port: gobject-introspection

Description (last modified by rben01 (Robert))

port install gobject-introspection fails due to an issue with tar. This issue persists after a clean reinstall of MacPorts and also if MacPorts is configured with --with-tar=gnutar and --with-gnutar=gnutar, so it's not specifically an issue with macOS's /usr/bin/tar. Logs below.

You're going to soon be asked not to discuss pre-release software on MacPorts.

However -- I notice homebrew does discuss such things, and in doing so, when a new MacOS version comes out, a number of things have already been fixed prior to the roll-out, whereas we scramble to catch up.

It seems like there _should_ be some way to work through these MacPorts things on these beta MacOS versions, somehow, somewhere...

Yes, I did consider the dilemma, but figured it would be better for MacPorts if these issues could be sorted out before the official release. Obviously this issue is low priority, at least until the official release starts getting close.
