Fpm: gnutar error building deb package on OS X 10.10

[amrox]

It seems like gnutar is not being given the correct arguments, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Error:

Process failed: gnutar failed (exit code 1). Full command was:["gnutar", "-C", "/var/folders/js/y_f4z32d6nqgzttv263cxzpm0000gn/T/package-deb-build20150403-13529-17or5wc/control", "-zcf", "/var/folders/js/y_f4z32d6nqgzttv263cxzpm0000gn/T/package-deb-build20150403-13529-17or5wc/control.tar.gz", "--owner=0", "--group=0", "--numeric-owner", "."] {:level=>:error, :file=>"fpm/command.rb", :line=>"468", :method=>"rescue in execute"}

Update, if I use the gnu-tar from Homebrew it works, i.e.:

brew install gnu-tar
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gtar $HOME/.bin/gnutar

Is there a cleaner way to override the gnutar fpm is using?

Thanks!

[GhostLyrics]

Interestingly, even if my homebrew folders are in front of the system folders in PATH, it uses the system gnutar. I assume, as @amrox showed, that it won't work without manual linking.

Maybe one could detect that fpm is running on OS X and try to use a package provided by homebrew or ports?

[jordansissel]

I'm likely to fix this by using a tar library instead of shelling out to tar or similar.

[onlyhavecans]

I am also hitting this issue

[barn]

Using the homebrew version of gnu-tar, a simple fix is to do

PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" fpm -s dir -t deb -n .....

so it uses that tar before the system one. Not ideal, but that's the world.
