As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.
This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out to SourceForge.
Would it be possible to coax your tar implementation to author files with less extreme GIDs.
The current ones (4294967295) lead to massive amounts of console spam on operating systems where IDs are uint16_t (mingw) or int32_t (assorted BSD).
On mingw - tar: Archive value 4294967295 is out of gid_t range 0..65535
I was able to reproduce this from the mingw command prompt. A fix has been committed per the suggestion from Jeremiah Willcock, and it worked when tested locally. A off schedule daily snapshot is running now, so when it finishes in a half-hour or so you should be able to try it yourself. Please report results. Thanks for the report, and thanks to Jeremiah for his fix suggestion. --Beman
