Package: tar
Version: 1.14-2
Severity: minor
Two different places describe `-o' to mean something different.
Probably the "Short Options Cross Reference" is wrong.
Let me cite from tar.info.gz:
3.4.2 `tar' Options
-------------------
`-o'
When extracting files, this option is a synonym for
`--no-same-owner', i.e. it prevents `tar' from restoring ownership
of files being extracted.
When creating an archive, `-o' is a synonym for `--old-archive'.
This behavior is for compatibility with previous versions of GNU
`tar', and will be removed in the future releases.
*Note Current status::, for more information.
3.4.3 Short Options Cross Reference
-----------------------------------
`-o'
When creating -- `--no-same-owner', when extracting --
`--portability'.
The later usage is deprecated. It is retained for compatibility
with the earlier versions of GNU `tar'. In the future releases
`-o' will be equivalent to `--no-same-owner' only.
