Hi Sergey, With tar 1.22, I'm seeing messages like "Record size = 8 blocks" which did not occur before. For example, given this bzipped tar file: http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.5.6.tar.bz2
tar 1.22 compiled from original sources with (also personally compiled) gcc 4.2.4) on an old Red Hat system yields: $ tar tjf /usr/local/src/dist/subversion-deps-1.5.6.tar.bz2 | head -2 tar: Record size = 8 blocks subversion-1.5.6 subversion-1.5.6/apr while the distro's tar (1.14) and previous new GNU tars don't mutter about it: $ /bin/tar tjf /usr/local/src/dist/subversion-deps-1.5.6.tar.bz2 |head subversion-1.5.6 subversion-1.5.6/apr Thanks, Karl
