I do not agree with this statement. Applications are expected to also parse foreign archives. I'm not sure what is more important.
I would think a user can reasonably expect that a file manager (or emacs) is able to look into and expand a tar file just produced on the same system. If that contract is broken, then maybe the default format should not have been changed to begin with?
Emacs could probably learn to the PAX header in addition.
It already has, but not the version that comes with the system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
