+ Fix Debian bug 230872, originally reported by Jeff King in
+ <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=230872>.
+
+ * doc/tar.texi (posix compliance): Remove. The whole section
+ was a misunderstanding of what POSIXLY_CORRECT is supposed to
+ mean. The GNU Coding Standards says that POSIXLY_CORRECT
+ is for disabling extensions that are incompatible with POSIX:
+ it is not for disabling compatible extensions. All references
+ to this section removed.
+ (posix): This format is created only if the posix format is
+ specified; it is no longer created if gnu format is specified
+ and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ POSIX does not specify the behavior of tar, so we should
+ not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT here.
