tar-latest.cpio two years old

[Markus Mayer]

Hi,

I noticed that the latest CPIO archive for the tar sources is 1.31.
There are no CPIO archives for 1.32 or 1.33. Is this intentional?

I found that the absence of the CPIO archive can cause problems with
the Buildroot project (https://buildroot.org/) which can be configured
to bootstrap (almost) all host binaries and which relies on the CPIO
archive for GNU tar to avoid a chicken-and-egg problem (requiring tar
to build tar).

Thanks,
-Markus
