Help would be appreciated. If your help is nontrivial we'll need to get copyright papers from you. Please contact me offline for that. The ultimate decision about what goes into tar belongs to Sergey, the current maintainer. I sense that he's still not 100% sold on the idea, but I suspect this is partly or even mostly because the necessary feature hasn't been specified well. > By the way, as Joerg always seemed to talk about star.

In the past we haven't been all that good at it, but we're trying to get better. _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
