Dear List,

Due to the need to revert tar to an old version (detailed in
FEA#11589) which doesn't support "-a" option, we will have to change
the use of "-a" in kernel spec to old-fashioned "-j". So far tar is
only hardcoded to use "-a" with the compat-wireless tarball. The
latest kernel is already in 2.6.37 and doesn't use compat-wireless
anymore so this is not a problem. But some other verticals are still
using it and needs to be modified. The change is very little. The
following is a sample for kernel-adaptation-ivi.

Please let me know if you have any confusions or problems. If you need
a new tar package for testing you can find it at:

Thanks.
