1.1 deraadt 23: In each snapshot, all tar.gz files are rooted at /. If you are a
24: trusting kind of person you can use the following script. However it

1.8 deraadt 35: The tar program you use must be GNU tar, OpenBSD tar (based on pax) or
36: some other newer posix-compliant version. The tar files contain
37: directory information in a new format, in particular dev.tar.gz
38: contains all sorts of files that an older version of tar would break
39: on. Also, one should be able to use just about any version of pax
40: instead.
