complaints about that. Maybe it's just us...
I think given that when building Sage a user will see thousands of
warnings messages, they are not likely to report this.
It probably bothers John more as he knows it's code written by Sage
developers that is generating the warning. But for "normal" users (non-
developers), there's no reason this warning should stand out in any way.
As for the tar problem, there is no requirement for tar to even exist on a
POSIX system, so it not really possible to say any particular behavior is
wrong.
