This is from last Slackware 13.1 source:

ftp://elektroni.phys.tut.fi/slackware-13.1/source/a/pkgtools/scripts/makepkg

extract:
----------------------------
Written by John Gilmore and Jay Fenlason." ]; then
  echo "WARNING: pkgtools are unstable with tar > 1.13."
  echo "         You should provide a \"tar-1.13\" in your \$PATH."
  sleep 5
fi
