Hi,
It seems like GNU tar 1.21 emits warnings when "tar -tf -" get
unexpected chunk sizes on stdin.
That causes test failure in the Mercurial test suite.
A test case (also filed at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487760 ):
$ cat slowcat.py
import sys
for c in file(sys.argv[1]).read(): sys.stdout.write(c)
$ python slowcat.py test2.tar | tar tf - > /dev/null
tar: Record size = 8 blocks
$
IMHO that is a regression from 1.20. Can you recommend a patch to
restore the silence?
