mmm

Code: Select all

$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.93
[...]

would _that_ (version) make a difference?

I can tar up and send the brest changes to someone. Who should I send it to?
(Note: If I have offended anyone here... sorry, I know email names but not the nick-names.. so I have no idea really who most peeps are).

havent tried d/l ing it, but ive had problems before with tar files. seems like once you update, it will work, and that tar doesnt always keep foward capability...

[Mith]

i assumed that. well, i'll see when debian puts tar 1.5.1 in

[Aaron]

you might just want to try to get someone to re-tar it for you... debian might not update for the next 20 years, so sit back and relax...

... debian might not update for the next 20 years, so sit back and relax...

Tis why I switched away from Debian, and eventually to Gentoo
