The Tar package contains an archiving program.
Fix a bug introduced in tar-1.31:
sed -i 's/abort.*/FALLTHROUGH;/' src/extract.c
Prepare Tar for compilation:
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 \
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--bindir=/bin
The meaning of the configure options:
FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1
This forces the test for mknod
to be run as root. It is generally considered dangerous to
run this test as the root user, but as it is being run on a
system that has only been partially built, overriding it is
OK.
Compile the package:
make
To test the results (about 3 SBU), issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install make -C doc install-html docdir=/usr/share/doc/tar-1.31
