Not that I'm aware of. gtar works but libarchive tar fails on
the file it created.
Yes, in 6.2. What about the report that it works in 6.3?
Indeed. Trying to create a tarball using a non-existent list of files
returns an error and generates a 0-byte tgz; as previously shown, BSD
tar in 6.3 treats that as an empty archive, which seems reasonable,
whereas gtar feeds it to gzip which generates an error:
20% tar cvzf test.tar.gz --files-from empty
tar: Couldn't open empty: No such file or directory
21% ls -l test.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 chuck chuck 0 Jan 10 19:42 test.tar.gz
22% tar tvzf test.tar.gz
23% gtar tvzf test.tar.gz
gzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file
gtar: Child returned status 1
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
