Now Sci-Fi wants to cancel the U.S. Constitution too?!? Jesus Christ, and I was just trying to adjust to the thought of living without Farscape. Those fuckers have no shame. Maybe we all should get together and cancel them.
I completely sympathize. The funny part, though, is that you replied to my post, which was a verbatim reposting by a non-AC of an AC comment which complained about reposting of AC comments by non-ACs, and not to the AC who posted the original complaint. So, while ACs might sometimes be people too, apparently they're not quite human enough to converse with without a non-AC intermediary. Adios!
I know next to nothing about GNU-Darwin, but based on the contents of those 13 lines, I'm guessing that GNU-Darwin's pkg_add command requires the GNU version of tar. So, the script temporarily replaces the installed tar with its own, runs the pkg_add commands, then restores your original tar. Granted, I'd probably feel more comfortable if the script didn't overwrite anything in/usr/bin, but it looks like the potential for negative consequences is much less than you seem to be implying.

Dude, what a coincidence! I'll be coming home from the bar at 4am and having insane sex with your wife. Good to know I'll only have an hour.

An AC posted the same comment and got modded down as redundant. You then posted 9 minutes later and got modded up as insightful.
Anonymous Cowards are people too...
Oh yeah, and if someone reposts this comment and gets modded up while I get modded down to hell, I'll be mighty angry.
