Description
When trying to use DPKG to build a package it relies on the 'gnu' format with tar. This format is not available on OSX and needs to be changed to something portable. I do not believe there is a configuration file for this.
here are the resulting errors:
dpkg-deb: building package common-system-config' in
common-system-config.deb'.
Can't use format gnu: No such format 'gnu': Invalid argument
Usage:
List: tar -tf <archive-filename> Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename> Create: tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...] Help: tar --help
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar -cf returned error exit status 1
