"No single root directory found, all dists must extract to a single directory" when running "mi6 release" command

[sdondley]

Could someone kindly take a look at the question at:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75190418/no-single-root-directory-found-all-dists-must-extract-to-a-single-directory-e

I can't figure out what is wrong. I'm on macOS running raku 2022.12

The error message comes from fez.

Please execute the following commands, and paste the output here.

❯ which pax

❯ pax -c -z -f Directory-0.0.1.tar.gz

[sdondley]

which pax reports /bin/pax

I rolled raku version back to 2022.07 and everything worked again so I don't have the tar.gz file in my directory anymore. How do I generate the tarball? mi6 build didn't do it nor did zef build.

[sdondley]

OK, had to generate the tarball manully. pax command shows this:

> $ pax -c -z -f Directory.tar.gz                                                                                                                                                                                                             [±main ●●]

OK, same command on a different mac:

> $ pax -c -z -f Directory.tar.gz                                                                                                            [±main ●]

Again, disclaimer: of course these mimicked distros actually have no root folder but the problem arises from the ._ files that appear even when the root folder does exist.

Seems to me that tony-o/raku-fez#72 @masukomi did chase this down fair and square...

[skaji]

@sdondley I think this issue is fixed in App-Mi6 3.0.2.

[sdondley]

Ok, thanks. Yeah, just saw there was a new release. I'll check it out when I get chance.
