+ 03 Aug 2014; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> tar-1.28.ebuild: + Prefer shipped man page over external one (bug #518932). + Damn. I really thought I would have addressed that already in the ebuild. Sorry for the inconveniences. Fixed without a revbump so if you want the shipped man-page please re-sync and emerge =tar-1.28 again.
