Whatever format archive is used for the ports distribution, it needs to be extracted by both tar *and* cpio. sysinstall calls cpio to extract the ports tree distribution. > Looks like a inexcusable > omission to me if so, because patches for this were submitted by me > to the re@ team before 4.6-RELEASE, but back then were voted down, because > it was noticed that old tar(1) shipped with 4.6 was unable to properly > extract archives in the ustar format. At the time, I thought it was was unreasonable to ship a tar archive that our system tar couldn't read. > I've supposed that those patches > were included into 4.7, but actually never bothered to check for sure. > Please at least include them into 5.0, so that the problem is closed > once for all. Assuming that the patch now works with our system tar: You said in your original posting to re@ that this patch was "not well-tested but seems to work". I personally would like a greater degree of confidence than that, but it's not high enough on my priority list to put any cycles into it. (Note: comments such as "inexcusable omission" are not likely to increase my motivation.) If it's that important to you, why don't you make the patch "well-tested"?
