Follow-up Comment #9, task #15699 (project reproduce):
In the (long!) process of updating the Maneage software and unifying the
tarball format, I have found one package so far that has long file names (and
fails with the ustar method): Boost <https://www.boost.org>.
So to have a single place for future reference, here is the updated
command-set (with comments!) to use:
odir=ORIGINAL_DIR
suffix=ORIGINAL_SUFFIX
name=PACKAGE_NAME_VERSION
tar -xf $odir/$name.tar.$suffix \
&& tar -c -Hustar --owner=root --group=root \
-f $name.tar $name/ \
&& lzip -9 $name.tar \
&& rm -r $name/
# If 'tar' fails with 'file name is too long (cannot be split)',
# make the following change: '-Hustar' --> '-Hpax'.
