when using GNU tar, --format is being used, I think it would make
sense in that case to also pass --owner=0 and --group=0,
Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe so, though I don't like the idea of
the tarball contents being different depending on the tar program used.
Passing another option to _AM_PROG_TAR doesn't look especially fun, but
certainly doable. I don't think 0/0 should be used unconditionally.
I guess in the gnutar case in m4/tar.m4.
Yes, it's in tar.m4. Called from (note to self :) m4/init.m4. --best, karl.
