+ reported to you for GNU tar 1.13.20 and 1.13.21. It also fixes a
+ core-dump bug for tar 1.13.19 and later, reported to bug-tar.
+ regarding 1.13.21
+ This fixes Debian bug 95984, in addition to the bug fixes I already
+ reported to you for 1.13.20. It also upgrades tar to use gettext
+ 0.10.39.
+ regarding 1.13.20
+ I haven't had time to fix all or even most of the bugs, but I suggest
+ closing out or modifying the following bug reports:
+ 13312 I changed tar to avoid the problem (I hope; I can't test it).
+ 52092 Fixed.
+ 58890 Fixed, I think -- at least, I can't reproduce it now.
+ 65719 Not a bug? last message in that bug report says it works for him.
+ 77664 Not a bug. In that context FOO:BAR means 'file BAR on host FOO'.
+ 78179 Sorry, I don't follow this report. Tar does strip leading '/'s
+ for me.
+ 83458 Fixed.
+ 83735 Fixed.
+ 85400 Fixed for the info page only. The man page is not part of
+ tar-1.13.20.
+ 90794 This partly seems to be a Debian packaging problem; see 94257.
+ 94287 Fixed.
+ 95344 Fixed.
+ 95984 Not fixed in 1.13.20, but will be fixed in next version.
+ 99655 Fixed.
+ 100883 This bug report applies to the Debian distribution only.
+ 100885 Not a bug; see its last message.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tar
+.Nd The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+$command_string
+.Op Ar options
+.Op Ar pathname ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Tar
+stores and extracts files from a tape or disk archive.
+.Pp
+The first argument to
+tar
+should be a function; either one of the letters
+.Cm $short_letters ,
+or one of the long function names.
+A function letter need not be prefixed with ``\\-'', and may be combined
+with other single-letter options.
+A long function name must be prefixed with
+.Cm \\\\-\\\\- .
+Some options take a parameter; with the single-letter form
+these must be given as separate arguments.
+With the long form, they may be given by appending
+.Cm = Ns Ar value
+to the option.
+.Sh FUNCTION LETTERS
+Main operation mode:
+$function_letters
+.Sh OTHER OPTIONS
+Operation modifiers:
+$option_letters
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The behavior of tar is controlled by the following environment variables,
+among others:
+$env_variables
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+$examples
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.\\" libarchive
+.Xr tar 5 ,
+.\\" man-pages
+.Xr symlink 7 ,
+.Xr rmt 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm tar
+command appeared in
+.At v7 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
+Unfortunately, the info document describing tar is licensed under the GFDL with
+invariant cover texts, which makes it impossible to include any text
+from that document in this man page.
+Most of the text in this document was automatically extracted from the usage
+text in the source.
+It may not completely describe all features of the program.
