升級 tar 修正出現 pax_global_header 的訊息

由於 kernel 的程式碼自 2.6.12 版起，在提供的 tar-archives 中多加了 git commit ID 的 extended header ，如果你的 tar 版本較舊，就會出現一個警告訊息，進而產生一個 pax_global_header 的檔案。

程式碼:

tar xjf linux-2.6.19.7.tar.bz2
tar: pax_global_header: Unknown file type 'g', extracted as normal file

tar --version

查了一下，雖然這是一個無關痛癢的警告，不過出現實還是怪怪的，如果可以將 tar 的版本升級至 1.14 以後，就能夠避掉這樣的警告訊息。因為習慣在 RPM 的系統下處理作業，而該主機的環境卻仍停留在 Fedora Core 2 ，就連 The Fedora Legacy Project 都不再維護，所以興起了自己編譯 tar RPM 的念頭。

曾經有將新版的 sendmail 由 Tar Ball 轉成 RPM 的經驗，所以編譯環境已經存在，不再贅述，這次依然如法泡製一番！

1.安裝 tar 的 SOURCE RPM：

程式碼:

rpm -ivh tar-1.13.25-14.1.legacy.src.rpm

2.下載新版 tar 原始碼，置於 /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ 目錄中：

程式碼:

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.20.tar.bz2

3.編輯 SPEC 檔，保留 man page 的 patch，否則無法編譯成功：

程式碼:

diff -urN tar-vic.spec tar.spec
--- tar-vic.spec 2008-06-08 14:12:06.936689000 +0800
+++ tar.spec 2006-03-09 08:25:32.000000000 +0800

4.產生 RPM 檔：

程式碼:

rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/tar.spec

5.安裝升級 tar：

程式碼:

rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/tar-1.20-vic.i386.rpm

6.不再出現警告訊息：

程式碼:

tar xjf tar-1.20.tar.bz2
