Hi,
With Rtools 3.1.0.1936 I can create and extract from .tar.bz2 files:
(first directory in %PATH% is c:\rtools31.1936\bin)
E:\>tar jcvf tmp.tar.bz2 tmp
tmp/
tmp/foo.txt
E:\>tar jtvf tmp.tar.bz2
drwxr-xr-x 4294967295/4294967295 0 2013-11-22 11:35 tmp/
-rw-r--r-- 4294967295/4294967295 3 2013-11-22 11:35 tmp/foo.txt
E:\>mkdir ex
E:\>cd ex
E:\ex>tar jxvf ..\tmp.tar.bz2
tmp/
tmp/foo.txt
E:\ex>cd ..
E:\>rm -rf ex
...but this fails when using the tar binary in Rtools 3.1.0.1939. The following lines are run with c:\rtools31.1939 as the first directory in %PATH% (and there is only one Rtools installation referenced in %PATH% in both these examples):
E:\>tar jcvf tmp.tar.bz2 tmp
tmp/
tmp/foo.txt
E:\>tar jtvf tmp.tar.bz2
E:\>mkdir ex
E:\>cd ex
E:\ex>tar jxvf ..\tmp.tar.bz2
E:\ex>ls
E:\ex>
Can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Dan
