Hi, GNU tar gave me some problems setting the blocksize, so I remembered someone recommended an alternative tar program on the ports list. I think our gnu tar is outdated (current version should be 1.12), but looking at: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.otherbugs my conclusion is that GNU tar is so buggy we should replace it in the base distribution and move it to the ports tree. Pedro.
