Created attachment 718174 [details] patch: use /usr/sbin/alternatives As Ondřej suggested, there would be nice to allow select pax alternative in system by /usr/sbin/alternatives because acutal pax implementation does not support 'pax' format (#503860) and there is currently other pax implementation (spax) which is supports pax format quite well. There are attempts in libarchive for creating pax-like front-end also so in future there may be another alternative. I'm attaching patch implementing the step -> allow pax binary to be alternated. What do you think? Do you see there any obvious consequences? Pavel
