Archive_Tar which is used by pecl and pear (`pecl install`) uses unpack with the "a" format character. On 5.4 it strips trailing NUL bytes, on 5.5 it does not. There is a new "Z" format character that can be used to get the old behaviour. The point is, this change broke pecl, and will likely break many other things in existence. > >> >> Anthony has asked me to post to internals, so that you can re-visit the issue and perhaps consider not breaking BC. >> >> If you decide that you want to keep the BC break, I will gladly submit a patch for Archive_Tar. > > See http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19746 > > Remi. > >> >> Thanks, >> >> Igor >> > > Sherif, Are you "owning" this issue?
