#2207: RTEMS tar does not overwrite.
-------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: chrisj | Owner: chrisj
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: highest | Milestone: 4.11
Component: misc | Version: 4.11
Severity: normal | Keywords: tar
-------------------------+--------------------
A host tar by default will overwrite the contents of a directory. A sort
of refresh. The RTEMS tar requires you remove the existing files rather
than overwrite. This is dangerous because you have to remove files yet you
do not know if the tar will be successful and moving and saving files
assumes you know the contents of the tar file before hand.
Tar should be changed to overwrite and so allow files to be refreshed.
Consistence of files should be managed outside of tar via hashes or
checksums.
