Perhaps we need a newer Version of tar or a patch to agree with the newest gcc?

Comment 1 Bernhard 2009-01-26 14:10:15 UTC

you should be using tar from busybox in the first place.

Comment 2 Peter Korsgaard 2009-01-26 14:21:49 UTC

I agree that the current situation isn't optimal - Is there any particular reason why you want to use the GNU tar version, instead of the one in busybox? As you probably noticed, most people use the busybox version so the GNU one doesn't get much testing in BR.

I would prefer to mark the gnu version as DEPRECATED.

Let me know what you think.

Comment 3 Bernhard 2009-01-26 14:35:05 UTC

Just force HIDE_OTHERS to yes unconditionally, i'd say.

Comment 4 Jan Kretschmer 2009-01-26 23:08:52 UTC

The Gnu Tar is included by the "generic development system"-target. So it is marked as a dependency, if you choose the generic development system, isn't it?
I never activated the gnu-tar to be build explicitly, so I never thought about alternatives ;)

Comment 5 Peter Korsgaard 2009-03-01 20:19:49 UTC

Fixed by upgrading to tar 1.21
