guntar missing on Mac OS X Maverics

[sierkb at gmx.de]

Hi!

Looking at http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/os-x-109/, GNU tar in fact IS part of OSX 10.9, but under a new location.

GNU tar on OSX 10.8.5 (gnutar-451):
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-451/

GNU tar on OSX 10.9.0 (gnutar-452):
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-452/

Makefile GNU tar on OSX 10.8.5 (gnutar-451):
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-451/Makefile

Makefile GNU tar on OSX 10.9.0 (gnutar-452):
http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-452/Makefile



Look at both Makefiles to which destination Apple has put it on OSX le 10.8.5 and OSX 10.9.0 and see the differences (make a diff):

$ GNUtarML=`curl http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-451/Makefile?txt -s -o ${TMPDIR}Makefile_GNUtar_MountainLion`; GNUtarMav=`curl http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gnutar/gnutar-452/Makefile?txt -s -o ${TMPDIR}Makefile_GNUtar_Mavericks`; diff -u "${TMPDIR}Makefile_GNUtar_MountainLion" "${TMPDIR}Makefile_GNUtar_Mavericks"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, the new install_Prefix of gnu tar is /usr/local, the binary is /usr/local/bin/gnutar, the libs in /usr/local/lib and so on...
AND there is a Symlink from /usr/local/bin/gnutar -> /usr/bin/gnutar

Hope, that helps.
