I'm trying to use the option "--keep-newer files" with tar 1.15.1 and
previous.
This is the sequence of the commands and relative outputs.
$ touch test
$ tar cvf test.tar test
test
$ tar xvf test.tar --keep-newer-files
test
tar: Current `test' is newer
$ touch -d 20040505 test
$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 andreap calcolo 0 May 5 2004 test
-rw-r--r-- 1 andreap calcolo 10240 May 4 18:31 test.tar
$ tar xvf test.tar --keep-newer-files
test
tar: test: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Current `test' is newer
$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 andreap calcolo 10240 May 4 18:31 test.tar
$ tar xvf test.tar --keep-newer-files
test
tar: test: Warning: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Current `test' is newer
Hope this will be easily fixed in a future release.
Best regards,
Andrea Pellizzon
