Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016
Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2.  The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system.  Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun!  :-)

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-This manual page documents the GNU version of
-.B tar
-, an archiving program designed to store and extract files from 
-an archive file known as a 
-.IR tarfile.
-A 
-.IR tarfile 
-may be made on a tape drive, however, it is also common
-to write a
-.IR tarfile
-to a normal file. 
-The first argument to 
-.B tar
-must be one of the options:
-.BR Acdrtux ,
-followed by any optional functions.
-The final arguments to 
-.B tar
-are the names of the files or directories which should be archived. The use
-of a directory name always implies that the subdirectories below should be
-included in the archive.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.TP
-.B tar -xvvf foo.tar
-extract foo.tar
-.TP
-.B tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz
-extract gzipped foo.tar.gz

-.SH BUGS
-.LP
-The GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
-The maintainer of tar falls into this category.  This man page is neither
-complete, nor current, and was included in the Debian Linux packaging of tar
-entirely to reduce the frequency with which the lack of a man page gets
-reported as a bug in our defect tracking system.
-
-If you really want to understand tar, then you should run info and read the
-tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs.
