---------------------------------------

             Summary: Make output format of tar configurable
                 Key: COMPRESS-419
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-419
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Archivers
    Affects Versions: 1.14
            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig


Created as a follow up to COMPRESS-398.

Currently the tar package always generated "old ustar" archives that we augment 
with some extra magic when writing long file names or adding PAX extended 
headers.

It may be useful to be able to create GNU tar or POSIX archives rather than 
"old ustar" right from the start.
