> Why add ACL support to tar? Isn't that what star is for? star and tar are much more different than just ACL support. For example, amanda doesn't work with star (cause star doesn't support some tar's functions). There are also problems where gnu tar can't extract star's archives (gnu tar doesn't support POSIX.1-1988; at least not without additional switches) and vice verse. Introducing star instead of tar would bring whole world to the end :) http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/utils/archivers/star/README.otherbugs -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
