IcedTea6 Unpacking openjdk6 source

[Michael Franz]

Hi,

I am trying the icedtea6 and found that it downloads the opend jdk 6 source
as a compressed tar file.  However, when it tries to unpack the archive, the
process only uses tar xf instead of tar xzf or piping the file through
gunzip first.  The Makefile target is:
stamps/extract.stamp: stamps/download.stamp
        if ! test -d openjdk ; \
        then \
          mkdir openjdk ; \
          $(TAR) xf $(OPENJDK_SRC_ZIP) -C openjdk; \
          chmod -R ug+w openjdk ; \
        fi
        mkdir -p stamps
        touch stamps/extract.stamp

I believe that this is related to the previous section:
if USE_ALT_OPENJDK_SRC_ZIP
  OPENJDK_SRC_ZIP = $(ALT_OPENJDK_SRC_ZIP)
else
  OPENJDK_SRC_ZIP = openjdk-6-src-$(OPENJDK_VERSION)-$(OPENJDK_DATE).tar.gz
endif


So, if you are not using the alternate src the unpack will not work.
