1.8 ! deraadt 33: The tar program you use must be GNU tar, OpenBSD tar (based on pax) or
! 34: some other newer posix-compliant version. The tar files contain
! 35: directory information in a new format, in particular dev.tar.gz
! 36: contains all sorts of files that an older version of tar would break
! 37: on. Also, one should be able to use just about any version of pax
! 38: instead.
