From b9faf652735c603d1bdf849a570185eb721f11c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan McRae Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2019 16:14:57 +1000 Subject: pactest: set package tar format to GNU_FORMAT python-3.8 changed the default tar format to PAX_FORMAT. This caused issues in our testsuite with package extraction of files with UTF-8 characters as we run the tests under the C locale. sycn600.py: error: error while reading package /tmp/pactest-xuhri4xa/var/cache/pacman/pkg/unicodechars-2.0-1.pkg.tar.gz: Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale. Set format back to GNU_FORMAT.
