A series of commits by Jeremie Courreges-Anglas (jca@)
has modified
tar(1)
such that its default write format (for archives) is that of
pax(1).
The message with the final
commit
captures the gist of the change:
CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: jca@cvs.openbsd.org 2024/04/16 17:09:35 Modified files: bin/pax : options.c tar.1 Log message: Switch tar(1) write default format to 'pax' Lets us store longer file names, link names, finer grained timestamps, larger archive member files, etc; at the expense of larger uncompressed archives and less widespread support across the ecosystem. If you're unhappy with the new defaults, you can use -F ustar. Or you can help fix bugs / find a better middle ground. Prodding from various including job@ and deraadt@ ok sthen@ caspar@ millert@
