Lately my attempts at creating tar-balls for uploading to Hackage have been failing. I use the standard `./Setup.hs sdist` method to generate tar-balls, but apparently that uses `/usr/bin/tar` (GNU tar), which defaults to the 'gnu' format, while Hackage requires the 'ustar' format.
File a Cabal bug report. The Setup.hs really ought to call gnu tar in such a way that it always produces ustar format. Duncan
