Hmmm... What about do not enforce any particular format by default?
Especially if consider that on my FreeBSD automake already enforses
ustar when tries to enforce v7 ;-)
tardir=testprog-0.0.0 && /usr/local/bin/bash
/home/user/tmp/testprog/missing --run tar chof - "$tardir" | bzip2 -9
-c >testprog-0.0.0.tar.bz2
The 'o' option in the 'tar chof -' above means '-‐format ustar' for
bsdtar instead of '--format v7' for GNU tar :-)
That is very interesting. On my Solaris system, I see that the 'gtar'
program was selected. With this 'gtar' the -o option is equivalent
to:
--old-archive, --portability
same as --format=v7
but I see that with bsdtar -o requests a different format:
-o (c, r, u mode) A synonym for --format ustar
