Sun did plan to include star with Solaris 10. You would need to ask Sun why this did not hyppen yet. > So is star this to be included in OpenSolaris and then Solaris down the road: > "star/sfind The Marriage of two powerful programs > Source: > http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.solaris/2005???11/0126.html"; ?

Social problems with Stallman did let at least three maintainers give up with gtar. This is a reason why the gtar source is a rag rug... star is under contnuous development by the same person since 27 years.
