[...] Could you be so kind and revert this patch or fix it to also work on Solaris? For Solaris the change should be easy, simply if you invoke Solaris' tar with --help, it'll fail with exit code 1 and help message printed into the stderr. If you are curious if it supports --format, then no.

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up!

Have you already pushed?
