Description

When moving a packrat bundle from a server running
R version 3.1.3 (2015-03-09)
Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
and using packrat_0.4.3

to my macbook pro running
R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
Running under: OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite)
and using packrat_0.4.6-1

I found that the lib and lib-R folders untar (using mac's archive utility and unbundle()) as unix executables on my mac. Any ideas why this might be?

Apologies if this is the wrong venue for posting this question.

Research direction

Reproduce the transfer and extraction using the listed R, packrat, CentOS, and OS X versions, focusing on the lib and lib-R folders and the unbundle() entry point. Compare extraction with macOS Archive Utility and unbundle(); done means the folders unpack as directories rather than Unix executables.
