Re: [Bug-tar] --directory does not work with --incremental

[Sebastian Unger]

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm using the tar that ships with Ubuntu 12.04: V1.26

Cheers,

Seb

Hi Guys,

I just noticed that the combination of options --extract --incremental --directory <path> does not work as expected. As far as I can tell --incremental is ignored and files are not deleted as they should be. Please find attached a shell script to reproduce the issue.

Cheers,
