FreeBSD tar has deficient error handling. I sent a fix 31 Jan 2011
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=154407
Please commit the fix or write & commit a better fix.
As error codes ignored, I wonder if other poor coding may lurk in tar.
Might be nice if someone else would read through tar.
ports/ : Tar allows some errors in ports pkg-list to go un-noticed.
Using make package, tar fails to see errors, fails to return error
to make, some pkg-list not checked properly & accumulate errors,
A bunch of errors will probably show up when tar is fixed, the
more the longer we do nothing. ( I can't remember which pkg-list
are broken, I've not kept note, The solution is to read tar &
commit a fix to tar ASAP)
Cheers,
Julian
