[OSX] Alternative archive strategy (using pax) before packing #86

On mac os I couldn’t achieve the repacking using tar command.
This was mainly due to

Directories in the archive
trailing slashes
.DS_Store hidden files

Instead of tar I did the following :

find apps -type f -not -path '*/\.*' | pax -wd > test.tar
java -jar  abe.jar pack test.tar test.ab
adb restore  test.ab

We can check the source code at : https://github1s.com/aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base/blob/android11-mainline-release/services/backup/java/com/android/server/backup/restore/FullRestoreEngine.java

Do repacked files really restore?
