ah, deraadt regenerated the 7.7 ports.tar.gz and the newer version of
that does use pax, and IIRC when I checked at the time it was complete.

but it looks like snaps ports.tar.gz still uses ustar.

(personally I would not bother with ports.tar.gz at all and just fetch
from your friendly local anoncvs mirror).

yes this is certainly something I would not attempt to build unless
there's no other choice, the packages (and debug packages if needed)
are a better idea for this.
