Hi all,
I was reading GNU tar manual for a while, and found some bugs. This
is against the latest stable version, version 1.21, 30 October 2008.
In section 4.1, "Basic GNU tar Operations", the paragraphs for
"--extract" and "--list" seems no relationship with the title of this
section. I assume these words are mistaken copied from other section.
And in section 4.2.1 "The Five Advanced tar Operations", I found the
following problem.
~~~snip~~~
`--append'
`-r'
Add new entries to an archive that already exists.
`--update'
`-r' <-- This should be `-u'. It is the short option style for
`--update'
Add more recent copies of archive members to the end of an
archive, if they exist.
~~~snip~~~
Please cc the reply mail to my Email address, since I am not in the
mailing list.
Thanks for your time, and I am looking forward these bugs can be fixed.
