I think it means OpenBSD either doesn’t ship bsdtar + libarchive, or it’s from
a time before it got autodetection of zip files.
Say “man tar”. If you don’t get something like this near the top, it doesn’t
have the feature I tested here on OS X:
DESCRIPTION
tar creates and manipulates streaming archive files.
This implementation can extract from tar, pax, cpio,
zip, jar, ar, and ISO 9660 cdrom images and can create
tar, pax, cpio, ar, and shar archives.
Which version of OpenBSD are you running? Latest, or something older?
