Hi there,

can anyone explain why in the FreeBSD version of tar there isn't any --delete option?


in the GNU versione of the tar archiving utility we have: --delete delete from the archive (not for use on mag tapes!)

(http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?tar)

in the FreeBSD version there's nothing similar.
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar)


Is there a workaround to make tar deleting a file in the archive (without extracting, deleting, re-tarring) ?


Thanx!
