I would be careful to replace system tar with newer version. Some system tools could depend on specific old behavior of 1.15. Otherwise I don't think there are some special new dependencies, what usually works for me: $ sudo yum-builddep tar-*.src.rpm $ rpmbuild --rebuild tar-*.src.rpm There is also copr repository where latest git tar is (from time to time) rebuilt (including epel5): https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/praiskup/tar/ Pavel
