one important question. why do you want to upgrade. if the  newer
version of tar has an important feature that you want then you might
want to suggest this as an RFE against tar in bugzilla.redhat.com.

if you want to upgrade, one way to do it is to check if the
development tree has a newer version and install that. post the
results
