What tar is this? (Note: this is --use-compress-program, not --use-_de_compress-program) GNU tar supports --use-compress-program since at least 2004. The tar in MacOS-X does document this option: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man1/tar.1.html > However, -J or --lzma does work. The -J was introduced 2008-12-27 in GNU tar, so it is not supported by Debian Lenny (the previous stable, still widely used), so this can't be used. --lzma is also relatively recent, it was added 2008-04-14 (still in GNU tar). The tar in MacOS-X supports neither -J nor --lzma, so neither is portable. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
