Subject: |
tar: Command line parsing changed |
Package: tar
Version: 1.15.1-2
Severity: normal
Hi, I noticed that tar in sid behaves differently than the one in sarge.
In particular if I do:
tar -zc directory -f file.tar.gz
it outputs to standard output, rather than to the file. Instead
tar -zcf file.tar.gz directory
works. This is annoying for people used to the old syntax, and so I
think it's worth fixing or at least a warning to the user!
Thanks,
Guido

Hi Guido,
Thank you for your bug report. I don't know when this bug was first
fixed, but I just verified that with the version of tar in Debian
unstable (1.22) it is fixed. Specifically:
$ tar -zc directory -f file.tar.gz
$ ls -l file.tar.gz

Happy hacking,
-Carl
