Re: [Bug-tar] Enhancement: brotli integration into tar

[Marius Spix]

Oh,

I just saw that there even IS a very fresh man page for brotli at
GitHub: https://github.com/google/brotli/blob/master/docs/brotli.1. I
am still using version 0.60. They eventually changed the name of the
excecutable to brotli. Ehh ...

Regards,

Marius
