Hello Sergey and all,
I noticed tar 1.13.93 now has an environment variable for specifying the
default output format. That is very nice, but I wonder about the name,
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT. After all, there are a lot of "archive"
programs out there.
I am doing a similar thing for makeinfo in the next release; I just
called the envvar TEXINFO_OUTPUT ("default" seemed redundant). Maybe I
should change to TEXINFO_OUTPUT_FORMAT, and yours could be
TAR_OUTPUT_FORMAT?
Not that any of this is crucial, of course.
Wdyt?
Thanks,
karl
