I've been trying to build a bundle with the R-devel snapshot from yesterday. (Yes I know it is unstable and just tell me if I shouldn't be trying to do this yet.)
On the contrary, this kind of info is very useful.
It is failing with the message
tar : /dev/rmt/0 : Permission denied
It happens after "removing junk files" and just after the message
"building dse_2000.9-1.tar.gz"
It looks to be coming from the line in the build script
system("tar ....
but I don't read perl very well.
(Using Solaris.)
I think the problem is that older versions of tar wants un-hyphened options i.e. tar chXf $exclude $startdir/$filename $pkgname rather than tar -c -h -X $exclude -f $startdir/$filename $pkgname
Um. Real tar (the AT&T based one such as that on Solaris 2.7) needs
chXf. GNU tar is a rather different animal.
This is chiefly my fault: I modified this to work on Solaris, but tested
it on a machine where tar is GNU tar ....
You will note that build is not finished yet:
