FASEOFMARS Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Hello, I have been having some trouble trying to make modifications to applications, I am cloud based so I cannot access ftp. I am not sure I am re-compressing the tar files correctly the file size always seems to increase after I re-compress. And ideas?
Aiwa Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Applications aren’t tar files, per se. they are actually PHAR files packaged in the TAR format. Alterations of the format will likely corrupt the installer.
FASEOFMARS Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 Even without making alterations im struggling to unpack and repack the files into a tar format, I keep getting that error message.
Aiwa Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Because you can’t unpack and repack. When you unpack the tar, you are dropping all of the PHAR meta data. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHAR_(file_format) I’ve got a PHP script that runs in my CI tool to build a PHAR from the raw app files in my git repos, but it’s built largely from IPS source and thus can’t be shared.
