[bug #65578] Numeric user ID too large when generating the tarball

[Raul Infante-Sainz]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #65578 (group gnuastro):

After some discussions with Mohammad and Giacomo (thanks a lot!) we arrived at
a temporary solution for users that need to generate a Gnuastro tarball with
the proper version string. This is not the solution to the bug, but just a
temporary workaround.

1. Generate the build directory with everything ready to be packaged. For
example:

./developer-build

2. Go to the build directory:

cd build

3. Edit "Makefile" to add the option "--format=posix" to "am__tar". So, the
line

am__tar = $${TAR-tar} chof - "$$tardir"

becomes 

am__tar = $${TAR-tar} --format=posix chof - "$$tardir"

4. Create the tarball:

make dist
