I don't believe we do require it. macOS ships bsdtar (that is, the one =66rom libarchive) and to the best of my knowledge, everything works fine there. I suspect the reason that gtar is preferred is because on some systems, the tar(1) command is relatively incapable and doesn't support things like POSIX tar archives or pax extensions. --=20 brian m. carlson (he/him or they/them) Houston, Texas, US --peBt9AzVgYRDXoxr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.3.1 (GNU/Linux) iHUEABYKAB0WIQQILOaKnbxl+4PRw5F8DEliiIeigQUCYKlUXwAKCRB8DEliiIei gSlAAP4kXqECkcY/Gdo49PNG51rXQFFYONxf/A7OUJQnDFZYlgEAlqpJHz4lnsb4 aUdSeVEK4hyIi9uqQhi9cT8Yzqz9NgQ= =zfrs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --peBt9AzVgYRDXoxr--
