This now makes star compliant with the BSD philosophy. Is there a chance to have star integrated into FreeBSD? Compared to star-1.4, star-1.5 gives a lot of new features, e.g.: - a true incremental backup/restore mode that uses the same basic philosophy as ufsdump/ufsrestore does but with a portable archive format. - Support for more than the star command line syntax. Star now can be combined as "star_fat" and then uses a command line interface that depends on av[0]: star the generic star command line interface tar Compatible to Sun tar which is a true enhancement to the bsd tar program gtar Compatible to GNU tar cpio scpio Compatible to cpio pax compatible to pax The nice side effect is that you may have a program that behaves 98% = like gnu tar but is not based on the GPL. If you have questions, please ask...
