Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem with tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1. Using "normal"
syntax, tar refused to accept --remove-files as an option, instead
interpreting it as a name. I played around with the syntax until there
could be no ambiguity, here is the script context and the command I'm
issuing now:
cd ${TARGET}
TAROPTS="--remove-files --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash --exclude
./pkg*"
TARFILE="filename.tar.bz2"
tar --create --bzip2 --preserve-permissions "${TAROPTS}"
--file="${TARGET}/${TARFILE}" ./*
And this is the output from the script:
tar: unrecognized option `--remove-files --wildcards
--wildcards-match-slash --exclude ./pkg*'
Is this a bug, or am I being stupid?
Also, nowhere in the info pages does it say whether --wildcards and
--wildcards-match-slash are defaults, or if their converses are
defaults. Could this be clarified?
Thanks,
Jeff
