Summary: tarfile: dirsize is not zero
Initial Comment:
Tarring a directory (only a directory, not its contents)
with the tar program results in
user at host:~$ mkdir tmp
user at host:~$ tar --no-recursion -cf sample.tar tmp/
user at host:~$ tar tfv sample.tar
drwxr-xr-x user/user 0 2004-09-20 12:55:27 tmp/
Using the Python `tarfile' module, the result is
user at host:~$ python
...
>>> t = tarfile.open( 'sample.tar', 'w')
>>> t.add( 'tmp', recursive = False)
...
user at host:~$ tar tfv sample.tar
drwxr-xr-x user/user 4096 2004-09-20 12:55:27 tmp/
But there are no 4096 Bytes in the tar file. If this
is not actually a bug, I would like to propose it to
be one.
I may provide a solution to this at
