include only one copy of VERSION in tarball (889 bytes, patch)

Description Patrick Steinhardt 2013-12-02 15:55:44 UTC 
It is currently not possible to extract the archive provided on [1] with bsdtar due to duplicated files in the archive. This could be caused by misuse of the -T or -I flags on archive creation probably resulting in corrupted archives (see [2]). GNU tar provides some logic that handles such corruptions and as a result doesn't fail extracting the archive.

include only one copy of VERSION in tarball

Seems like adding VERSION to EXTRA_FILES was an overkill.

Can you guys confirm that the patch fixes the problem? It seems to work fine here.

Note: you'll have to re-generate the tarballs with "make tarballs"

I can confirm the attached patch fixes the problem. Thanks.

    automake: include only one copy VERSION in tarball

    The VERSION file is tracked by git (git ls-files), thus
    adding it to EXTRA_FILES will result in a duplicate copy
    within the final tarball.
Comment 4 Patrick Steinhardt 2013-12-03 21:50:06 UTC 
Would it be possible to provide updated tarballs including this fix?

Doesn't seem worth it.

...because 10.0.1 will be along shortly.
