Summary

0010505: ExternalProject_Add fails to extract some tar.gz files

Description

Using ExternalProject_Add fails to extract some tar.gz files. For example:

   include (ExternalProject)
   ExternalProject_Add(
       boost
       URL http://sodium.resophonic.com/boost-cmake/1.41.0.cmake0/boost-1.41.0.cmake0.tar.gz [^]
   )

This will create a "boost" target, but the extraction step fails:

2>-- extracting...
2> src='C:/.../boost-1.41.0.cmake0.tar.gz'
2> dst='C:/.../boost-prefix/src/boost'
2>-- extracting... [tar xfz]
2>CMake Error: Problem with tar_extract_all(): Invalid argument

(Note that I replaced some of the paths in the output with "...")

Notes
(0020067) Luigi Calori (reporter) 2010-04-02 20:01	This is due to cmake -E tar not working on certain tar, besides boost tgz, also http://ftp.dlitz.net/pub/dlitz/crypto/pycrypto/pycrypto-2.1.0.tar.gz [^] does not work

(0020219) David Cole (manager) 2010-04-16 11:39	This is a symptom of some sort of bug (or perhaps missing feature) in libtar that cmake 2.8.1 and earlier use... The CMake available from "git master" today does not demonstrate this same issue. The new CMake uses libarchive to implement the functionality of cmake -E tar ... and is apparently better equipped to handle this and tar files like it. Both .tar and .tar.gz files mentioned elsewhere in this bug work fine with "git master" CMake from today.

(0020220) David Cole (manager) 2010-04-16 11:40	This issue is fixed by the libarchive implementation in "git master" CMake. It will be in a future release -- probably 2.8.2.

(0024110) David Cole (manager) 2010-12-14 18:50	Closing bugs that have been resolved for more than 3 months without any further updates.
