#62240 new defect

hfstar has conflicting message files with gnutar

Reported by: rlhamil Owned by:
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.6.4
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager), barracuda156
Port: hfstar gnutar

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Both ports want to install the following:

  /opt/local/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/et/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
  /opt/local/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo

Perhaps hfstar should be patched to change the names of its message files to end in hfstar.mo rather than tar.mo (and to find them accordingly). Ryan also suggested that its info file should be changed from tar.info to hfstar.info. He also mentioned the possibility that as ancient as hfstar is, its unique features MIGHT have been subsumed into gnutar, making it obsolete. Perhaps that's worth checking, too.

He also mentioned the possibility that as ancient as hfstar is, its unique features MIGHT have been subsumed into guitar, making it obsolete. Perhaps that's worth checking, too.

Note that another symptom of it being ancient and obsolete is that it runs into the usual implicit function declaration issues that result from -Werror=implicit-function-declaration being on by default on Catalina and Big Sur, too:

(should I open a separate bug for that, or are we just going to say that since it's obsolete it's not worth bothering?)
