[darcs-devel] [issue1215] 2.1.0 writes .gz with CRC errors into --old-fashioned-inventory

[Matthias Andree]

New submission from Matthias Andree <matthias.andree at gmx.de>:

Greetings,

DARCS 2.1.0 seems to write bogus data (CRC?) into _darcs/patches/*.gz if
used with darcs init --old-fashioned-inventory.

EXAMPLE FOR BROKEN OUTPUT:

darcs init --old-fashioned-inventory
darcs pull -a ../some-dir
gzip -t _darcs/patches/*.gz

EXAMPLE FOR PROPER OUTPUT:

darcs init --hashed
darcs pull -a ../some-dir
gzip -t _darcs/patches/*.gz  # produces no output => OK

This is on openSUSE 11 with gzip 1.3.12 and zlib 1.2.3. Darcs has been
using the C zlib.
