    host-deploy: use tar instead of python tarfile
    
    python usage was introduced when fedora-18 alpha lacked tar
    utility, now fedora-18 has tar utility and the python
    implementation is too buggy. It does not treat trailing
    zeros of tarfile correctly, causing the deployment to fail.

Comment 1 Alon Bar-Lev 2013-02-06 11:53:26 UTC 
This was reported in the past by one of the users, the suspected component was commons-compress. It was reproduced at my environment using the lastest commons-compress, the conclusion is that the python tarfile implementation is invalid in some cases.

Please approve this for 3.2.

Thanks.
