Original Pull Request: https://github.com/quamotion/dotnet-packaging/pull/50

State: closed
Merged: Yes

The file name in the Tar entry header is limited to 100 characters.

When adding a file with a longer file name to a Tar archive, you need to create a new entry with the name ././@LongLink and type L (TarTypeFlag.LongName), which contains the file name in the file contents.

This PR adds support for reading/writing such tar archives.

Fixes #47
