Package: tar Version: 1.3-16 A tar.gz archive containing "." will overwrite permissions on the current directory.
For example, a "cd /tmp && tar zxvf big-archvive.tar.gz" could later lead to unexplained program crashes because the sticky bit permissions on /tmp have been removed. Is this behaviour intended? I can see that Fedora does not have this feature. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
