Subject: [PATCH 0/4] fix pax extended header length calculation
Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2019 18:19:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c77a0081-93ab-7b97-e322-9616f6e7f86c@web.de> (raw)

The code for building pax extended headers has been miscalculating
lengths slightly shorter than powers of 10  since I wrote it in 2006.
That affects entries for paths with a length of 990, 991, 9989, 9990,
9991, 99988 etc. and link targets 4 characters shorter.  Here's a
series for fixing it.

  archive-tar: report wrong pax extended header length
  archive-tar: fix pax extended header length calculation
  archive-tar: use size_t in strbuf_append_ext_header()
  archive-tar: turn length miscalculation warning into BUG
