Description

When trying to extract a linux tar on windows, tar fails with the command below:

tar xf server-jre-8u162-linux-x64.tar
jdk1.8.0_162/man/ja: Can't create '\\\\?\\C:\\Users\\andrew\\Downloads\\jdk1.8.0_162\\man\\ja'
jdk1.8.0_162/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjsig.so: Can't create '\\\\?\\C:\\Users\\andrew\\Downloads\\jdk1.8.0_162\\jre\\lib\\amd64\\server\\libjsig.so'
tar.exe: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

andschwa has found that someone has attempted to get this to work for windows which should resolve this problem for Mesos. https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1030
