Sorry, I didn't quite get your bug report. Can you give a specific example? I just tried this: touch foo.c tar -c foo.c -f foo.tar tar -tvf foo.tar and it worked for me with tar 1.15.1: it created foo.tar with contents foo.c, and that sounds like it's what you wanted. Here's the output I got from the last command: -rw-r--r-- eggert/eggert 0 2005-07-17 00:39:24 foo.c _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
