What do you mean?
I decided to fork because i want to add features and upstream has no time.

There is no official upstream now, he does not want to maintain, please read
what i have said earlier.

> > What makes a fork private or public?
> Launch an official project, with home-page, mailing list etc.
Home page: https://fedorahosted.org/libtar-ng/
mailing list: https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/libtar-ng-devel
Next time, investigate before you say something!

contributor.
