GNU tar was based on an early draft of the POSIX 1003.1 ustar standard. GNU extensions to
tar, such as the support for file names longer than 100 characters, use portions of the
tar header record which were specified in that POSIX draft as unused. Subsequent changes
in POSIX have allocated the same parts of the header record for other purposes. As a
result, *GNU tar is incompatible with the current POSIX spec, and with tar programs that
follow it*.

TarGzExporter wrong packing of paths with more than 100 characters

Project: ShrinkWrap
Issue Type: Bug
Components: impl-base
Reporter: Matej Lazar
Assignee: Michal Matloka
Prefixes of long paths (> 100 chars) are ignored when unpacking archives with tar on
linux.
Packing "moreThan100/long/path/to/file.class" with TarGzExporter, is unpacked
by linux tar as "long/path/to/file.class".
Where "long/path/to/file.class" is just bellow 100 chars.
