[New-bugs-announce] [issue27337] 3.6.0a2 tarball has weird paths

[Peter Eisentraut]

New submission from Peter Eisentraut:

The file Python-3.6.0a2.tgz contains paths that start with "..", e.g., 

$ tar tf Python-3.6.0a2.tgz | head
../Python-3.6.0a2/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Doc/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Grammar/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Include/
../Python-3.6.0a2/LICENSE
../Python-3.6.0a2/Lib/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Mac/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Makefile.pre.in
../Python-3.6.0a2/Misc/
../Python-3.6.0a2/Modules/

This causes tar to error out when unpacking the file.

This was not the case in previous tarballs and also not in Python-3.6.0a2.tar.xz.
