----------------------------------------

             Summary: No constructor to create a TarArchiveEntry link with leading slash
                 Key: COMPRESS-201
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-201
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compressors
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1
            Reporter: Thomas Mortagne
            Priority: Minor


I want to create a link with a leading slash and put it in a tar archive (Debian package).

The following constructors are provided

{code}
public TarArchiveEntry(String name, boolean preserveLeadingSlashes)
public TarArchiveEntry(String name, byte linkFlag)
{code}

but there is no

{code}
public TarArchiveEntry(String name, byte linkFlag, boolean preserveLeadingSlashes)
{code}

so I have to overwrite the name using setName(String) which is not very clean.
