+Suggestions for improving GNU tar.
+
+* <45BEC0DB.8040903@unix-beratung.de>
+
+* Incorporate fixes from major distributions, e.g., Debian GNU/Linux.
+
+* Add support for restoring file time stamps to sub-second resolution,
+ if the file system supports this.
+
+* Add support for restoring the attributes of symbolic links, for
+ OSes like FreeBSD that have the lutimes and lchmod functions.
+
+* --append should bail out if the two archives are of different types.
+
+* Add support for a 'pax' command that conforms to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
+ This would unify paxutils with tar.
+
+* Interoperate better with Joerg Schilling's star implementation.
+
+* Add an option to remove files that compare successfully.
+
+ From: Roesinger Eric <ROESINGE@tce.com>

+
+ It would be useful to be able to use '--remove-files' with '--diff',
+ to remove all files that compare successfully, when verifying a backup.
+
+* Add tests for the new functonality.
+
+* Consider this:

+ Subject: TAR suggestion...
+ Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 18:26:36 -0500 (EST)
+
+ What I would like to do is:
+
+ foo my.tar.gz | tar -xzOf - | tar -cMf - -L 650000 - | bar
+
+ where 'foo' is a program that retrieves the archive and streams it
+ to stdout and bar is a program that streams the stdin to CDR.
