[New-bugs-announce] [issue6053] distutils error on windows

[Hirokazu Yamamoto]

New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto <ocean-city at m2.ccsnet.ne.jp>:

I found two distutils error on windows.

1. If the implementation of ensure_relative is correct, test should be
fixed like attached patch.

2. I got tar error. This happens because tar command I'm using cannot
recognize path with drive letter. For example, "tar -cf r:/foo ." fails
with error. I'm using http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm

E:\python-dev\trunk\Lib\distutils\tests>py test_archive_util.py
..tar: Cannot open
c:\docume~1\whiter~1\locals~1\temp\tmprd9lcc\archive.tar: Fun
ction not implemented
