:For some unknown reason both libarchive tar and gtar are broken on :DragonFly - they are preserving permissions of extracted files (like in :case of -p) if executed by root. : :It doesn't seem to affect a lot of cases (you rarely run tar as root etc), :but breaks hell a lot of pkgsrc packages. : :-- :Hasso Tepper
Is pkgsrc using the system tar or the tar from /usr/pkg? If the tar used is under pkgsrc's control then it needs to be patched in pkgsrc, I guess. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
