It's usually easy to detect failures: since those are source archives, the build fails if something important gets messed up in extraction - although a passing build is not always a guarantee. | |

In certain constellations you will loose information (like fileextention or part of the filename) that is stored within the Paxheader. With some tarballs ././@PaxHeader should be someting like ./paxheaders.* | |
