Test failure on Windows; Where should bug reports be filed?

[jkeenan]

In addition to being released on CPAN, Archive-Tar is shipped with the Perl 5 core distribution. Within the core distribution -- specifically, within Porting/Maintainers.pl -- the place listed to report bugs with Archive::Tar is https://rt.cpan.org//Dist/Display.html?Queue=Archive-Tar.

Per that instruction, in July I opened this ticket, RT 149072, reporting a test failure in Archive-Tar-3.02 that was significant enough to keep us from upgrading the version of Archive-Tar shipped with core to 3.02 from 2.40. As of today, that ticket has not been responded to. It was only today that I realized that perhaps this problem should have been reported in this GH Issues queue as well.

We would like to get the latest version of Archive-Tar into Perl 5 core, but we need to get this test failure (on Windows) addressed. Can you investigate -- and also add an entry to the META_MERGE/resources table in Makefile.PL along the lines of:

bugtracker => 'https://github.com/jib/archive-tar-new/issues'

... if that is indeed the place where bug reports should be filed?

Thank you very much.
