patch for "lone zero block" warning when untarring packages

Hi! When extracting .tgz files created with PEAR::Archive_Tar (e.g. PECL and PEAR packages), newer GNU tar implementations show a warning like: 'tar: A lone zero block at *' The reason for this message is that GNU tar format has been changed to require TWO zero blocks marking the end of the archive but PEAR::Archive_Tar is writing only ONE zero block. Details: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_8.html#SEC134 I found the solution here (fix for Ant): http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28776 The solution should be quite simple: Index: Tar.php =================================================================== RCS file: /repository/pear-core/Archive/Tar.php,v retrieving revision 1.20 diff -u -p -r1.20 Tar.php

--- Tar.php     8 Jan 2004 17:33:09 -0000       1.20

cvs diff: Diffing docs Should not be a problem with BC, as a zero block is used to finish an archive. this will fix: -> http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=3694 -> http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5452 best regards Andreas
