I tend to agree. Adding bsdtar to the root filesystem would mean not only
bringing in bsdtar but also 2 more shared libraries /usr/lib/libarchive.so
and /usr/lib/libbz2.so. We can just bring gzip into /bin and get all the
functionality of cpio, bsdtar and pax without adding 2 extra libraries.
This also will allow us to not only unarchive gzipped archives but also
decompress single files, something I don't think bsdtar -z can do.
Attached is a tarball of the modifications. To add it to your source tree:
cd /usr/src (or your respective directory) ; tar zxvf
/path/to/gzip-to-bin.tgz ; rm -rf gnu/usr.bin/gzip
This is strictly a Makefile change to the Makefiles in gnu and subdirs and
rescue/rescue/Makefile. Following is the patch for existing Makefiles
(note, don't try to build off it because it doesn't take into account the
directory move:
