Archive::Tar::Minitar is a pure-Ruby library and command-line utility that provides the ability to deal with POSIX tar(1) archive files.

The implementation is based heavily on Mauricio Ferna'ndez's implementation in rpa-base, but has been reorganised to promote reuse in other projects.

This is a transitional package for the old upstream name, also providing a gemspec, so the old gem name can still be used.
