I have rebased my patches to GNU tar 1.28 - clone the git repository
git://gitorious.org/tar-fcaps/tar-fcaps.git to access them and look in
the branch pu (ACL patches) and pu2 (Capabilities patch).
If you wonder: I am using the version in branch "msteinborn-1.28".
Greetings from Germany

I've still no decision about the following - let me add one note to it:
Patch 2 of the series contained a bug - take the attached file as a

That are great news. IMHO tweaking the xattr-related options would be

Still, even as a Fedora/RHEL (co)maintainer I would prefer making the
patches pass against GNU git master. It makes things more easy for GNU
tar upstream and it is not problem for me to backport such patches to
Fedora.
I see. This has come from the following fact:

Marcus, thanks for looking at this problem. I think fixes for
ACLs/capabilities are really important, though I have not looked at your

With "normal" user credentials in tar, this works, as you may just omit the
user/group name fields in the tar header.
