Description Weldon S Godfrey 3 2005-06-21 13:30:10 UTC 
at some point between 5.2.1-R and 5.4-R, tar was renamed gtar and bsdtar
became tar.  The "SEE ALSO" for the man pages of tar and gtar need references
to each other.  It might be a good idea to document this move in the "HISTORY"
sections

How-To-Repeat: 	N/A

Hello Weldon and doc@,

   I took a look at this and it looks like it would be really good to
   fix that, although the -HEAD and RELENG_6 as well doesn't build or
   install gtar anymore, so the proposed fix should go to RELENG_5
   only.

   I also fixed examples in gtar manual page to reflect this change.

   Help provided by simon@ and slightly discussed with kientzle@

   Thanks for your report!

Hello,

   Could somebody merge this to RELENG_5 before 5.5-R?

Take this one. I think that the patch still applies, but I will have 
to discuss if it is worth to merge this to RELENG_5 or not, since 
the problem does not exist in HEAD/RELENG_6.

Close this one as I don't think it's worth to merge this back to 
RELENG_5 as this branch is not supported anymore and there will be 
no more 5.x releases.
