Summary: Problem with extracting package for odcctoolsodcctools extract failure: tar: Option --strip-path=1 is not supported

Confirmed on Snow Leopard. The extract script tries to pick either --strip-path or --strip-components, whichever the current version of tar supports; tar on Snow Leopard appears to support neither. tar on Leopard is GNU tar 1.15.1 but on Snow Leopard it's BSD tar 2.6.2, and presumably this option is a GNU tar extension. The port already has a patch that it uses on Panther to use the gnutar port; we could use that on Snow Leopard as well.

Which software are you actually trying to install that requires odcctools? The port is very old and I would not expect it to work on Snow Leopard even if we resolve this extract failure, considering it already did not work on Leopard.

Done in r57347.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Now that that's fixed, I get the same as #13148.

Huh? --strip-components works fine in bsdtar... of course, extract fails because it's trying to do something with the 10.4 SDK, but that's a different problem altogether.

The extract.sh script checks whether --strip-components is listed in the output of tar --help; if not, it uses --strip-path.
