Ok, let me explain better. I know that the recent tar and cpio are separate packages. What I would to say is: there is a public page which provides paxutils, and it says: "Presently the three projects: tar, cpio and paxutils are under active development" so, apart that I know where the more recent tar/cpio are, you should better expain there that the utilities provided by paxutils, atm are bugged. -- Agostino Sarubbo Gentoo Linux Developer
