Tar fails on macOS #19

Mac's tar does not support --owner or --group

Affects lines 15 & 16 in ipkg/Mk/Makefile:

tar -czvf control.tar.gz --owner=0 --group=0 control ${EXTRA_CONTROL}
cd data && tar -czvf ../data.tar.gz --owner=0 --group=0 . && cd ..

Workaround:

  1. Install homebrew
  2. Install gnu-tar
  3. replace tar with gtar

Yeah, I had noticed this a couple of years ago, but haven't bothered fixing it. This is vaguely related to #6
