Is GNU tar 1.13.25 still good with 2.5.0p2?
2006-08-18 12:41:02
Hello!
I'm planning to upgrade my Amanda server (currently 2.4.5) to 2.5.0p2.
I'm wondering whether GNU tar 1.13.25 is still "officially" considered a
good version, or is it absolutely required to upgrade to 1.15.1?
I noticed that when installing Amanda from FreeBSD ports, the
installation pulls in gtar from ports (archivers/gtar), which is
currently version 1.15.1. However, my FreeBSD 5.4 seems to include GNU
tar 1.13.25 installed with base FreeBSD system as /usr/bin/gtar and I
was thinking, maybe there is no need to have two gtars on my system?
BTW, I currently use dump for backups, so gtar is only used for indexes.
