Doc Text:
"tar" options "--xattrs-exclude" and "--xattrs-include" no longer ignored Previously, the "tar" command ignored the "--xattrs-exclude" and "--xattrs-include" options. To fix this bug, "tar" has been modified to apply include and exclude masks when fetching extended attributes. As a result, the "--xattrs-exclude" and "--xattrs-include" options are no longer ignored.

Description Ian McLeod 2016-06-01 14:44:01 EDT 
Description of problem:

When creating archives tar silently ignores --xattrs-exclude options.  More details, and a proposed patch can be found on the upstream mailing list here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-05/msg00032.html


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All 1.28 versions and, it seems, all versions since this CLI option was added.

How reproducible:

Always.
Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2016-06-02 02:50:16 EDT 
It would be nice to have it upstream first, though it is simple enough
and straight-forward patch (likely will be applied unchanged sooner or later)
so I believe we could go downstream first in this case.
