Subject: [bug#60419] Allow user-defined 'tar' options
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2022 20:02:33 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello again.

This time a patch that allows Automake users to provide their own 
command-line options that will be passed to the 'tar' utility when 
creating distribution packages.

This indirectly addresses bug#19615. The defect probably can't be 
fixed in a portable and secure way, so Automake can at least allow the 
user to specify the right options for him/her.

Feel free to rename the options as needed (like prefix/suffix with 
"AM" or something).

Regards,
Bogdan Drozdowski
