Removing resource/fork files on OS X
March 4th, 2009
You may know that OS X adds its own additional resource/fork files to its file system.
If you’ve developed an application on a Mac but would like to release it on a Windows or Linux platform, you must get rid of these files.
To do so use the following line to tar your application:
COPYFILE_DISABLE=true tar -cvf YourTarFileName.tar DirectoryToTar/
