Description Thomas Ilnseher 2008-02-05 15:02:55 UTC 
I have modified the ebuild for app-arch/tar to support -a / --lzma flags for
using lzma-utils (more elegantly). This can be enabled with an lzma use flag.

Reproducible: Always

tar is a very old package ... mucking with its runtime options is not to be done without upstream going for it
Comment 4 niogic 2009-03-10 16:54:45 UTC 
tar-1.21 introduced lzma.

we have tar-1.22 but still i don't have --lzma nor -J options!
