Hello, While fiddling with tar, I encountered the following bugs :
$ tar --portability -cvf my_dir.tar my_dir tar: --old-archive: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!? Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information $ echo $? 64 And : $ tar --old-archive -cvf my_dir.tar my_dir tar: --old-archive: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!? Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information $ echo $? 64 $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.22 [...] I guess tar correctly identifies --portability as an alias for --old-archive, but has a problem handling this option. It's easily worked around by specifying --format=v7, but I believe it's still worth reporting. Regards, Emmanuel
