Description Pengcheng Xu 2017-09-10 01:41:39 UTC 
The port of GNU tar to FreeBSD doesn't have xattr support, thus masked by the FreeBSD profiles, resulting in dev-util/catalyst requiring a non-existent atom "app-arch/tar[xattr]" on FreeBSD profiles. BSD tar does support xattr, is it possible to adapt that?

BSD profiles are gone from Gentoo.
