Hi,

Following previous advice from questions@, I filed a PR for this
(bin/161749) and I'm forwarding the previous mail to this list:

According to bsdtar(1) manpage, tar has a --gname switch that permits
to set an arbitrary groupname in the tar archive, but:
$ tar -cf foo.tar --gname root bar
tar: Option --gname is not supported
Usage:
 List:    tar -tf <archive-filename>
 Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename>
 Create:  tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...]
 Help:    tar --help

I get the same error for --uname and --gid switches. I'm running
9.0-BETA3 (r226421). Does this have any chances to be corrected in a
not to far away future?

Regards,
Romain
