Fix typo
2017-05-29 Pavel Raiskup <praiskup@redhat.com>
Fix non-deterministic archive type detection
Due to analysis of partly uninitialized read-ahead buffer
(short_read call), we sometimes mistakenly classified very small
compressed archives as non-compressed; which in turn caused
extraction failure.
* src/buffer.c (check_compressed_archive): Don't assume that
archives smaller than BLOCKSIZE could be non-compressed, as tar
header always has at least one block.

2017-05-29 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
Fix a bug in multi-volume archive creation.
When creating multivolume archives, the bufmap code in buffer.c
implicitly assumed that the members are stored in the archive
contiguously, ignoring the member (and eventual extended) headers
between them. This worked until the member header happened to be
at the very beginning of the volume, in which case its length was
included in the calculation of the stored size and size left to
store. Due to this, the GNUFileParts extended header contained
invalid GNU.volume.offset value, and the resulting archive failed
to extract properly.
This patch also eliminates improper listing of file part headers
as regular files, when creating multivolume posix archives
with -v.
* src/buffer.c (bufmap): New member nblocks. Counts number
of blocks
of file data written since reset.
(bufmap_reset): Reset nblocks to 0.
(_flush_write): Update nblocks. When computing offset difference
for
bufmap_reset, count only data blocks, not headers.
(close_archive): Flush archive until all blocks are written.
(add_chunk_header): Use simple_finish_header instead of
finish_header
to avoid listing chunk header as regular file in verbose mode.
* tests/multiv10.at: New test case.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add new test.
2017-04-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

* NEWS: Document this.
* src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link): If --numeric-owner,
leave the user and group empty in a private header. Cache the
names for 0.

sparse: fix pax extraction for unicode filenames
Make sure that 'GNU.sparse.name' header has higher priority than
(for sparse-purposes artificially modified) 'path' pax header.
Historically, the 'GNU.sparse.name' header comes before 'path';
this caused that modified 'path' header won and that is not what
we want in sparse "capable" tar implementation.

code from path_decoder.

Remove iotty test
The auxiliary utility ttyemu proved to be unreliable.

functions are properly defined either in libc or libattr.
Reported independently by Denis Excoffier and Dominyk Tille.

function separately. Don't AC_CHECK_LIB (LIBS is filled by

New option --clamp-mtime
The new `--clamp-mtime` option will change the behavior of
`--mtime` to only
use the time specified if the file mtime is newer than the
given time.
The `--clamp-mtime` option can only be used together with
`--mtime`.
Typical use case is to make builds reproducible: to loose less
information, it's better to keep the original date of an archive,
except for
files modified during the build process. In that case, using
a reference
(and thus reproducible) timestamps for the latter is good
enough. See
<https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds> for more information.

Minor fix
2015-12-11 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org>
Fix handling of filename-selection options.
Filename-selection options are --wildcards, --recursive, etc. (see
names.c for a complete list). These options are
position-sensitive,
i.e. each such option affects all filenames and filename-selection
options that appear after it until eventually cancelled by a
corresponding counterpart option.
These options can appear in "file-from" file lists, which
means that
they cannot be handled right away, but instead should be put on
the "name_elt" list and processed sequentionally, as file name
arguments
are.
* src/common.h (warn_regex_usage): Remove.
(name_add_name): Change signature.
(name_add_dir, name_add_file): Remove prototypes.
* src/names.c (name_add_option, name_add_dir)

(name_add_name): Take one argument.
(name_add_option): New static function.
(name_add_file): Take one argument.
(read_next_name): Use filename_terminator and
verbatim_files_from_option to initialize file.term and
file.verbatim.
* src/tar.c: Move handling of filename-selection options to
names.c
* tests/T-dir00.at: Fix typo.
* tests/T-recurse.at: Remove expected failure.

Fix bug in the inplementation of --one-top-level.
When extracting an archive that contains './' with the
--one-top-level option,
the mode and ownership of '.' would be incorrectly applied to
the current
working directory, instead of the requested top-level directory.

at the first pass. If force is requested, run a second pass
removing them.
(queue_deferred_unlink): Make sure current working directory
entries are sorted in descending order by the value of dir_idx.
This makes sure they will be removed in right order, which works
around unlinkat bug on FreeBSD and GNU/Hurd.

Fix coredump on FreeBSD when TAR_OPTIONS is set
* src/tar.c (parse_default_options): Use program_name instead of
program_invocation_short_name. On some systems the latter is

(parse_default_options, decode_options):
Fill out incomplete initializers.
2015-08-31 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org>
Improve option sanity checking
Any two conflicting options are reported only if they both
occur in
the command line. Otherwise, options defined in the command line
silently override those set in the TAR_OPTIONS environment
variable.
* src/common.h (option_source): New enum.
(option_locus): New struct.
* src/names.c (name_elt): New member: line.
(name_add_file): Initialize line.

tar: fix symlink race and symlink transform bug
Problem reported by Tobias Stoeckmann in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-07/msg00004.html
* gnulib.modules: Add areadlinkat-with-size.
* src/create.c: Include areadlink.h.
(dump_file0): Use areadlinkat_with_size, rather than trying to do
it by hand, incorrectly. This also avoids assumption that
the symlink contents fit on the stack. Also, use the transformed
link name, not the original link name, when deciding whether the
name is long enough to require writing a long link.
2015-07-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: port -d to longer symlinks
* src/compare.c (diff_symlink):
Don't use alloca on symlink length; it might be too big for
the stack.
Don't assume that readlinkat's return value fits in 'int'.
Prefer memcmp to strncmp where either will do.
2015-07-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: port to recent gnulib
* gnulib.modules: Remove 'acl' and add 'file-has-acl'.
2015-07-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: pacify GCC 5.1 -Wformat-signedness
* lib/wordsplit.c (struct wordsplit_node.flags):
Now unsigned, so that 'printf ("%x", p->flags)' doesn't provoke
GCC.
* src/incremen.c (read_num, dumpdir_ok):
Don't printf an int with %x or %o.
2015-04-16 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
Fix extraction from concatenated incremental archives.
* src/common.h (remove_delayed_set_stat): New proto.

2015-03-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: don't assume GZIP
* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Port to gzip implementations that
warn about nontrivial settings in the GZIP environment var.
2015-03-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: don't suggest GZIP
* doc/tar.texi (gzip): Don't suggest using the GZIP environment
variable, as it will be deprecated in the next gzip release.
2015-02-19 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
Improve compression format recognition
Some comressed archives can pass the checksum test, which
makes tar
treat them as uncompressed archives.
* src/buffer.c (check_compressed_archive): Test the checksum only
if the block we read looks like a valid tar header (i.e. has
a magic string).
2015-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: port xattr-at.c to Solaris 10
* lib/xattr-at.c (setxattrat, lsetxattrat, getxattrat,
lgetxattrat)
(listxattrat, llistxattrat): Compile only if HAVE_XATTRS, so that
the code doesn't call functions that are not declared.
2015-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
tar: port wordsplit attribute to Sun C
Reported by Ted Carr in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-01/msg00002.html

When the same file is added several times to the archive, count
correctly the number of hard links. See also 37ddfb0b.
* src/create.c (dump_hard_link): Don't decrease nlink if it is 0.
* tests/link04.at: Test -cl options.
2014-11-07 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org>

2014-11-07 Pavel Raiskup <praiskup@redhat.com>
Fix bug in sparse file listing
List posix archives containing sparse files >8GB correctly and
do not fail.
This fixes also bug in format of listing for sparse files >8GB -
now the
real size is printed instead of the effective one (this is
not strictly
posix format related).
* src/list.c: Remove redundant assignment.
* src/tar.h: Add new 'real_size' and 'real_size_set' fields in
tar_stat_info struct.
* src/xheader.c: Correctly handle (especially sparse) file sizes
