           Summary: tar tests contain hardcoded reference to pax
           Product: RTEMS
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: RTEMS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: misc
        AssignedTo: joel.sherrill at oarcorp.com
        ReportedBy: ralf.corsepius at rtems.org


tar01/Makefile.am and tar02/Makefile.am carry hard-coded references to "pax".

This causes build-breakdowns for users, who don't have pax installed (Though
pax is POSIX, it still is an exotic tool many users will not have installed
rsp. may even not be available on less common build hosts).

One way to fix this issue would be to check for presense of pax inside of the
corresponding configure.ac and conditionalize using pax.

Another alternative would be to ship prebuilt binary tarballs.
