Subject: | manifest writer tests are meaningless on windows |
The manifest writer tests check for the ability to handle file names with
backslashes in them. This is meaningless on Windows, since backslash is
the directory separator there and any file created with backslashes on
unix, packed into a tarball and unpacked on windows would just end up in
some sub-directories.
In the spirit of cross-platform compatibility i suggest to not allow
backslashes in filenames at all.
