Gnutar will default to removing a leading / even if you include it in
the archive paths unless you use the -P option during both the archive
creation and extraction.

The -z option will gzip during creation and ungzip during extraction.
However, this operation really sounds like something that should be done
by building an RPM for distribution if it is strictly an end user
package or with one of the revision control packages (subversion, etc.)
if multiple users will be making changes to be merged.
