Difference between r0 and r1 is that now it inherits autotools. Prolly the docs should be updated to:
emerge --oneshot '<app-arch/tar-1.26-r1'
so that users won't hit this.

xarth@galera-ap2:~/gentoo$ emerge --oneshot app-arch/tar
Calculating dependencies... done!

Ah, I have latest tree to overcome lustre problems, whereas users get older one where tar-1.26-r1 is not yet present.

Valid bug when we upgrade the snapshot.

headsup: tar-1.27-r2 does not inherit autotools any more, 've lifted the '<tar-1.26-r1' in bootstrap-prefix.sh to unversioned one - need it on AIX 7.1.

Which doc does still mention the tar-version?
