I am in favour of doing this. Same with cpio. I'd prefer to see GNU tar and cpio in ports (if they are not already there). If the functionality of a GNU long option is useful, we should find an option letter that isn't used, or use the -W namespace. Another similar move would be to make /usr/bin/compress act as gzip, gunzip, etc. by using zlib - OpenBSD have done this, but it is temporarily disabled. Having two tar's, two cpio's, two awk's, gzip and zlib in the base system is bloat. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
