From 674935b8caf33e47c78f1b8e197b1b77a04992d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Chargin Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2020 11:56:02 -0800 Subject: bpo-18819: tarfile: only set device fields for device files (GH-18080) The GNU docs describe the `devmajor` and `devminor` fields of the tar header struct only in the context of character and block special files, suggesting that in other cases they are not populated. Typical utilities behave accordingly; this patch teaches `tarfile` to do the same. --- Lib/tarfile.py | 12 +++++- Lib/test/test_tarfile.py | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++ Misc/ACKS | 1 + .../2020-01-20-10-06-19.bpo-18819.H4qsoS.rst | 3 ++ 4 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2020-01-20-10-06-19.bpo-18819.H4qsoS.rst diff --git a/Lib/tarfile.py b/Lib/tarfile.py index 90a2c95..e2b6053 100755 --- a/Lib/tarfile.py +++ b/Lib/tarfile.py @@ -930,6 +930,14 @@ class TarInfo(object): """Return a header block. info is a dictionary with file information, format must be one of the *_FORMAT constants.
