--- Begin Message ---There's a long-standing bug open against my Debian packaging of tar asking me to include one or another of the xattr support patches. http://bugs.debian.org/451932 I've held off through a combination of wanting to stay as close as possible to the upstream sources and an apparently erroneous assumption that with several xattr patches floating around that eventually one would be merged. What's the story here? Are there plans to add xattr support to tar? If not, would it help if I pick one, merge it, and expose it, say, through inclusion in Debian's experimental tree? Regards, Bdale
