I'd be open to it. In the meantime, you could work around this by creating a new archive with a filter function. tar.create({
filter: entry => entry.path !== 'foo.txt' // the file to be deleted
file: 'new.tar'
}, ['@old.tar']).then(() => fs.renameSync('new.tar', 'old.tar')) I imagine that's more or less how gnutar does it? |
