tar: option "-X" does not work anymore with 1.15.1-1 |
Package: tar
Version: 1.15.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
it seems that option "-X" is broken in the new upstream release
(or is it a syntax change that i didn't see ?)
eg:
$ ls -1 mydir/
foo
bar
with 1.14-2:
$ tar czfv plop.tar.gz mydir/ -X mydir/foo
mydir/
mydir/bar
with 1.15.1-1:
$ LANG=C tar czfv plop.tar.gz mydir/ -X mydir/foo
mydir/
mydir/bar
mydir/foo
tar: -X: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
mydir/foo
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Regards,
Sebastien

Hi Sebastien,
Thank you for your report.
As you perhaps saw in Alban's reply, the --exclude=PATTERN option does
what you are looking for. I don't know if -X formerly meant this, and
was incompatibly changed to mean --exclude-from, but by now the current
behavior is quite fixed by the intervening years and versions of tar, so
it won't be changing.
Happy hacking,
-Carl
