Add support for different tar dialects
--------------------------------------
Key: COMPRESS-121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-121
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Archivers
Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.0
Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
Priority: Minor
Right now the tar classes handle ustar and oldgnu (and to a certain degree pax)
but there are way more dialects out there. In particular we should support the
POSIX format.
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25704 in Ant's bug tracker
contains code that is supposed to support the Solaris variant (of 2003).
So far I've only seen people ask for POSIX but not contributing patches.
