The tar testsuite completed without error with a second tweak (the 1.15.1 tarball is missing a couple of testsuite files that I had to copy from CVS), but I have not done any binmode/textmode testing. And your packaging of 1.13.25 was pretty sparse on patch documentation; it looks like I will have to manually diff /usr/src/tar-1.13.25-7 with the original tar-1.13.25 tarball (if I can find it online) to see what patches you had made, unless you want to send your patches to me directly. > > I don't suppose that you want findutils, too? Sure, why not. findutils-4.2.25 is due in the next couple of weeks, and includes a new feature of regex flavor specification (ie. you aren't locked in to emacs regex flavor). It may be a few days before the actual ITP appears - there always seems to be some surprise when adapting new packages to the g-b-s, even when they build just fine from the tarball. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
