With a +plain tar, you have to use constructions like bzcat file.tar.bz|tar +xv or tar --use-compress-prog=bunzip2 -xvf file.tar.bz2 to use bzip2 and +bunzip2 with tar. This patch provides the -j option so you can unpack a +Bzip2 archive with tar xvfj file.tar.bz2. Applying this patch will be +mentioned later on when the Tar package is installed.</para> + </sect2> |
