[Gambas-user] rpmbuild and install package

[Toni Rosa]

After reading some Slackware pkgtool docs (specifically where it says
"pkgtools are unstable with tar > 1.13"), no doubt Doriano is right about
the need of tar-1.13, or at least the need of giving the generated package
a try... so the check wasn't that silly, after all :)
Sorry about misleading you on this one.
