The problem with tar is that for the tests the file name replacement is quite handy. GNU tar supports --transform, BSD tar doesn't support this and instead offers a -s option. Is gtar available by default on FreeBSD? I can add support for this in the new build system, e.g. check for pax, then gtar, then tar, then figure out if its GNU or BSD tar. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@rtems.org http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
