Comment (by pierre.labastie):
Well, I have played now with heirloom pax. It's not so bad. The building
is low footprint (10 Mb needed for building, but only 160Kb executable +
20 Kb man page), and it can be used as a replacement for tar and cpio.
Compared to tar, it lacks the xz compression/decompression. But you can
take any tarball in .gz of .bz2 and have it extracted with:
{{{
pax -rf <tarball>
}}}
So it does not hurt to have it in the book. I am ready to include it, but
will wait until others give advice.
