I have just upgraded to tar 1.20 and my scripts don't work anymore.
In docs, there is following example:
----------------------
3. Prepend `/prefix/' to each file name:
$ tar --transform 's,^,/prefix/,' -x -f arch.tar
---------------------
I use something like this:
$ tar --transform 's:^:newfs/', -cjf arch.tar usr/lib/*
New behaviour after Bug#463251 transform symlinks in /usr/lib pointing to the
same directory (i.e. libFoo.so -> libFoo.so.2.0 ) to (i.e. libFoo.so ->
newfs/libFoo.so.2.0).
Is that intentional?
