As far as I know there is a patch for tar... but I'm using this small script:
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# -ge 2 ]; then ARCHIVE=$2 if [ `echo $ARCHIVE | egrep '\.bz2$|\.bz$|\.tbz$' | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; then ARG=$1 ARG=`echo $ARG | tr -d 'z'` shift 1 /bin/tar $ARG $@ --use-compress-program bzip2 exit $? fi fi /bin/tar $* exit $?
