    tar - updating an archive

    If I wanted to update archive created by tar -cf an_archive, how could I apply tar in the way that new files (not present in archive) are added and existing ones are updated?

    #2
    Add/update a file to an existing tar.gz archive?: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...tar-gz-archive


    I would use the KDE's tool - Ark (ark can be used from the command line)

    1. make correct folder structure with the updated&new files.




    2. Add the folder to the achive




    The existing files will be updated and the new files will be added.
