Hi,
It is unfortunate that Firefox-esr wrongly detects star's gnutar binary as a
GNU tar. This seems to be an error in the way the port is set up:
archivers/gtar is not given as a build dependency and yet the port looks for a
GNU tar binary. Why is that so? Adding the maintainer of the www/firefox-esr
port to CC.
I would like to continue providing a gnutar binary if possible as that binary
is part of the star distribution and its name does not collide with any other
command I am aware of (FreeBSD ports install GNU tar as gtar not gnutar, so
there is no collision here). If a port wrongly picks this program over
/usr/bin/tar or gtar, the port needs to be patched to always pick the correct
tar program. I mean we don't let ports pick random gcc binaries over ${CC}
either...
If there is no other remedy to the issue, I can however go ahead and set up an
option to make installing the gnutar binary conditional.
