Sorry, it's not clear from your message what bugs you're talking about. Perhaps you could provide a test case illustrating the problem? In particular, you might show how tar test version 1.15.90 behaves on the test case. See <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.15.90.tar.gz>. > 2) Also, is there a way to use tar to only overwrite > symlinks with other symlinks (not directories)? Not currently, no. I'm not sure such a feature would always do what you want. I suspect that sometimes you would want to follow symlinks, sometimes not -- even in the same tar image. If so, you'll need a feature that is more carefully thought out than this. _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
