I noticed that 'tar' is very slow to compress if compared to 'GNU
tar', especially when there are multiple small files.
26 GB of OS's ISO images:
GNU tar: 195s
sbase tar: 250s
(128% more)
3.6 GB of images:
GNU tar: 3s
sbase tar: 27s
(900% more) (!)
Copyright doesn't really expire, except that thing of X decades after someone's
death, because then it becomes public domain.
IMHO you shouldn't need a range.
I've seen at least one best-voted answer saying this on stackoverflow.
Do you think it should?
I'm not interested in a short-term implementation, I'm more interested if you
think that it should, or if you have an opinion against it.
Im my opinion it should, because someone may rely on hardlinks to manage its
data, and if you want to backup your stuff in a tar archiv
