UNIX98 tar warns if all links cannot be resolved.
(GNU tar --check-links option)
- Perhaps we could announce a phase-in period where "l" changes in semantics.
- In the meanwhile we could make the "l" semantics to be determined by the
- value of POSIXLY_CORRECT variable.
+ Currently tar prints a warning when this option is used. Somewhere
+ in the future its semantics will be changed to that of --check-links.
+ In the meanwhile we should announce a phase-in period where "l"
+ changes in semantics.
* Interoperate better with Joerg Schilling's star implementation.
