Hello. I'v recently updated my tar to 1.29. I use flexbackup and got a regression. The cause was ignoring --no-recursion parameter. So, I would like to report a bug.
I found, that tar behavior depends on parameter position. Bug reproduces in the following cases: $ echo '/run' | tar --create --files-from=- --no-recursion --file /dev/null --verbose $ tar cvf /dev/null /run --no-recursion tar descends into /run despite of no-recursion option. Commands below works as expected. Please note --no-recursion position: $ echo '/run' | tar --create --no-recursion --files-from=- --file /dev/null --verbose $ tar cvf /dev/null --no-recursion /run It seems that bug is reproduced only if --no-recursion is applied after filenames. Could you please confirm this bug? Thank you. --
