Do you happen to know if GNU tar adds extensions that
aren't in your version
(or "original tar", whatever that may mean)? I suppose I'd like to stick to
GNU or GNU-compatible tools where possible...
Unless a given systems tar *is* GNU tar or based on it, you can pretty much
guarentee GNU tar has features it doesn't. Which isn't to say that GNU tar
is perfect, I know there are some bugs in it that we've run into, but can't
remember what they are at the moment.
