Summary	0003841: Source code tarball downloads from DRDTeam often use non-portable tar extensions (GNU)

Revision	2020-07-03 07:01 by WubTheCaptain
Steps To Reproduce	For steps to reproduce on Doomseeker / Wadseeker, I knew beforehand there will be no short-hand compressed tarball filename extensions such as .txz or .tbz2. file 1:5.38-5 on Debian bullseye/sid was used to recognize the type of data in a file, in these steps to reproduce. To reproduce on GNU/Linux distributions, prepare around 233 MB of free space on disk to download tarballs from the Internet (DRDTeam's website). Once unextracted, around 456 MB of disk space will be required (as of Doomseeker 1.3.1 / Wadseeker 2.0). Download the tarballs first: $ wget -nv -r -A ".tar" -R ".sig"'https://doomseeker.drdteam.org/files/ [^]' # ... $ cd doomseeker.drdteam.org/files/ $ ls -l total 96228 drwxr-xr-x 2 wub wub 4096 Jul 3 06:20 dependencies -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7115012 May 8 2013 doomseeker-0.10b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7114701 Nov 30 2013 doomseeker-0.11.1b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7465478 Nov 14 2013 doomseeker-0.11b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7506532 Jun 24 2014 doomseeker-0.12.1b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7606408 Jan 10 2015 doomseeker-0.12.2b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7593942 May 16 2014 doomseeker-0.12b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 36871 May 21 2009 doomseeker-0.1a_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 1478709 May 21 2009 doomseeker-0.2a_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 1499944 Aug 20 2009 doomseeker-0.3a_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 1032157 Oct 25 2009 doomseeker-0.4.1b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 1028265 Oct 17 2009 doomseeker-0.4b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 2413283 Mar 16 2010 doomseeker-0.5b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 1900183 Aug 22 2010 doomseeker-0.6b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 2051354 Nov 17 2010 doomseeker-0.7b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 2085088 Jan 29 2012 doomseeker-0.8.1b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 2118701 Jan 3 2012 doomseeker-0.8b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 7509735 Aug 22 2012 doomseeker-0.9b_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 8415394 Mar 30 2015 doomseeker-1.0_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 8647902 Jun 11 2017 doomseeker-1.1_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 4020152 Oct 27 2018 doomseeker-1.2.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 4084212 Jan 30 01:25 doomseeker-1.3.1.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 4084952 Jul 29 2019 doomseeker-1.3.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 23596 May 21 2009 libwadseeker-0.1_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 28448 Aug 20 2009 libwadseeker-0.2_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 19884 Oct 17 2009 libwadseeker-0.3_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 92364 Mar 16 2010 libwadseeker-0.4_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 75883 Aug 22 2010 libwadseeker-0.5_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 75992 Nov 17 2010 libwadseeker-0.6_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 86873 Jan 29 2012 libwadseeker-0.7.1_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 91692 Mar 4 2012 libwadseeker-0.7.2_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 91918 Apr 15 2012 libwadseeker-0.7.3_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 92255 Nov 14 2013 libwadseeker-0.7.4_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 86919 Jan 3 2012 libwadseeker-0.7_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 96710 Jun 24 2014 libwadseeker-0.8.1_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 96827 May 16 2014 libwadseeker-0.8_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 159040 Jun 11 2017 libwadseeker-1.1_src.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 157988 Oct 27 2018 libwadseeker-1.2.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 wub wub 364380 Jul 29 2019 libwadseeker-2.0.tar.xz drwxr-xr-x 2 wub wub 4096 Jul 3 06:20 translations Extract them (required packages in Debian are bzip2 and xz-utils packages): $ bunzip2 ./.bz2;

Steps To Reproduce	For steps to reproduce on Doomseeker / Wadseeker, I knew beforehand there will be no short-hand compressed tarball filename extensions such as .txz or .tbz2. file 1:5.38-5 on Debian bullseye/sid was used to recognize the type of data in a file, in these steps to reproduce. To reproduce on GNU/Linux distributions, prepare around 233 MB of free space on disk to download tarballs from the Internet (DRDTeam's website). Once unextracted, around 456 MB of disk space will be required (as of Doomseeker 1.3.1 / Wadseeker 2.0).
