Package: tar
Version: 1.11.5-2
According to tar --help:
--same-owner create extracted files with the same ownership
-p, --same-permissions extract all protection information
--preserve-permissions same as -p
-s, --same-order sort names to extract to match archive
--preserve-order same as -s
--preserve same as both -p and -s
I find this suspicious - in particular, I'd expect -s to do
--same-owner, not --same-order. However, even --same-order doesn't
appear to work. See below.
In one window (p is a named pipe):
chiark:rjk> dd bs=10240 if=/dev/st0 | tee p | dd bs=10240 | tar -T ~/junk/xfiles --same-order -vvxf -
