Built and pushed rc1 tarball. We really need to do something about Travis now :( noticed that CI hasn't been run since January...

[andrew_b]

Replying to zaytsev:

Got two warnings during the build on master:

Will be fixed in the next cleanup after release.

[zaytsev]

I've got reply from support and hopefully Travis builds will be working again, but now it complains about 1) warnings and 2) indentation. See screenshot.

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

I don't want modify the code from GNU tar and gnulib to pacify GCC. What about of use

#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wtype-limits"

in tar-sparse.c?

[zaytsev]

Well, one could try to send a path to tar and gnulib people, but if you can't be bothered, then I think a pragma is OK to silence warnings for stolen code. If we start modifying it again, then updating will become more difficult... I think that it was quite a lot of work for you already to bring our tar implementation up to date.
