Description
The dependency for 'tar' is 2.2.1, while the latest available version is 4.0.1.
This is an issue, since an npm install will warn:
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@1.2.3: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.
This will thus be an issue for anyone who wishes to use a more recent version of nodejs (>= v7.0).
For this reason the dependency should be updated.
