func Reptar

func Reptar(location string, out io.Writer) (err error)

Reptar creates a tar of a location. Reptar stands for reproducible tar and is intended to replicate the following gnu tar command:

tar - \
--sort=name \
--mtime="1970-01-01 00:00:00Z" \
--owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner \
--pax-option=exthdr.name=%d/PaxHeaders/%f,delete=atime,delete=ctime \
-cf

This command is currently not complete and only works on very basic test cases. GNU Tar also adds padding to outputted files
