<stabbles>OK, I've tried to identify all the differences between tar implementations: https://haampie-llms.github.io/tar-minefield/. I've included mescc-tools-extra's untar too: presumably it doesn't have to be perfect, but it could be hardened. Still some work to do to improve that repo, much wip, and I will warn people there is ugly llm-generated text,
<stabbles>just wanted to get it out early.
<stabbles>Or rather, tried to identify some* of the differences, I'm sure there are many more.
<matrix_bridge><Jeremiah Orians> Looks like I have some strict refinements to add to untar
<roconnor>Orians++
<mihi>snuik, later tell stabbles: Would it be possible to split "rejects a case to accept, or extracts another tree than its manifest" into two cases/colors? One is a nuisance, the other is evil
<snuik>Okay.
