The reason I ask is a little involved: jkim@ recently pointed out to me that tar in -CURRENT can no longer extract symlinks from the release ISOs. I tracked this down to the fact that the release ISOs have both Joliet and RockRidge extensions and tar now supports (and actually prefers) Joliet extensions when it sees them. Joliet doesn't support symlinks, so tar doesn't see symlinks on disks with both kinds of extensions. There's a workaround that people can use for now: tar xf image.iso --options=!joliet disables the Joliet support. I'm curious whether removing the -J option from /usr/src/release/*/mkisoimages.sh is an option. In the longer term, I'd like to find a better way for tar to handle disks that include both kinds of extensions, but that will take a while to implement. Tim
