    Description

      Right now the tar classes handle ustar and oldgnu (and to a certain degree pax) but there are way more dialects out there. In particular we should support the POSIX format.

      https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25704 in Ant's bug tracker contains code that is supposed to support the Solaris variant (of 2003).

      So far I've only seen people ask for POSIX but not contributing patches.
