Hello The "GNU tar" included with FreeBSD 2.2-stable is version 1.11.3 Current-people: Is your version of "GNU tar" the same as above ? I usually make complete backups with tar. But this version of tar isn't able to backup /dev properly. I got some errors like "unknown filetypes". It worked fine in 2.2.5, but in 2.2.6 something in /dev has changed. After I had reinstalled GNU tar version 1.12 myself, all worked with no problems. Could the one who's responsible for the gnu -section, update the version for 2.2.7 and in the CVS-repository ? And second question : Is it possible to include less as a more advanced pager not only in the ports section ? Thanks a lot for an answer ;) Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin Blapp, (blapp@attic.ch) Attic Internet Services, Bechburgstrasse 8, 4702 Oensingen, Switzerland Phone: +41 62 396 43 70, Fax: +41 62 396 43 72 PGP fingerprint: 4E96 1AE8 4AA6 AB40 1AD6 DB42 7623 995D 522A 1D38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Public key available at: http://www.attic.ch/pgp-public.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
