Thanks for taking the initiative! So, here you go with the feedback

I'm on Ubuntu 10.4.2 64-bit.

First: version.sh throws loads of errors because of "[[" syntax. I tried changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash, but that doesn't help either. So I replaced these double-brackets by single-brackets, and at least that stage goes through without errors. I'm attaching a diff, but please verify that the result is actually sensible. What is that "[[" thing about anyway?

Second: even after applying that, I get the following errors when running "make":

$ make

I assume that this due to an older libarchive version or so?

$ apt-cache policy libarchive-dev

Searching online for "archive_write_set_format_gnutar" didn't give a lot of insight either.

Could you look into that please?
