This has a similar meaning as in other GNU applications
such as coreutils and Emacs.

Add gnu/.gitignore, gnu/charset.alias, gnu/*.h, gnu/*/ to cover
autogenerated files.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_mk): Remove.
* configure.ac: Add support for --enable-gcc-warnings,
taken from coreutils and simplified.

to pacify GCC. Remove unnecessary test of nptr versus null.
The regression was introduced by 8f390db9. This patch implements additional
option --skip-old-files, which silently skips members which would cause
writing over existing files, and restores --keep-old-files to its traditional
behavior.
* NEWS: Update.
* configure.ac: Update.
* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
* src/common.h (SKIP_OLD_FILES): New old_files mode.

* tests/extrac18.at: New file.
* tests/extrac19.at: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test cases.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
The --owner and --group options now accept operands of the form
NAME:NUM, so that you can specify both symbolic name and numeric
ID for owner and group. Also, in these options, NAME no longer
needs to be present in the current host's user and group
databases; this implements Debian enhancement request 136231
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=136231> reported
by Mark W. Eichin, communicated by Thayne Harbaugh to bug-tar in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-08/msg00001.html>.
* NEWS, doc/tar.texi (Option Summary, override): Document enhancement.
* src/common.h (group_name_option, owner_name_option): New decls.
* src/create.c (start_header): Don't assume owner and group names
are in current host database.
* src/tar.c (parse_owner_group): New function, for parsing NAME:NUM.
(parse_opt): Use it.
(decode_options): Initialize owner_name_option, group_name_option.
* tests/owner.at: New file, to test this enhancement.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
* src/sparse.c (pax_dump_header_1): Make sure the created header name is
shorter than NAME_FIELD_SIZE bytes.
* tests/sparse04.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add sparse04.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include sparse04.at.
* NEWS: Update.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/compare.c (verify_volume): Decode the header before invoking
diff_archive, as diff_archive no longer does this as of the
2010-06-28 commit. Also, don't try to invoke diff_archive on a
zero block.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add verify.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include verify.at.
* tests/verify.at: New file.
* configure.ac, NEWS: Version 1.24
* bootstrap: Restore tar-specific code lost during last
sync from gnulib (241b72ffad).
* src/misc.c (chdir_do): Remove unused automatic variable.
This closes another race condition, that occurs when overwriting a
symlink with a regular file.
* NEWS (--dereference consistency): New section.
* doc/tar.texi (Option Summary): Describe new --deference behavior.
(dereference): Likewise. Remove discussion that I didn't follow,
even before --dereference was changed.
* src/common.h (deref_stat, set_file_atime): Adjust signatures.
* src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Respect open_read_flags
instead of rolling our own flags. This implements the new behavior
for --dereference.
(diff_file, diff_dumpdir): Likewise, for fstatat_flags.
* src/create.c: Adjust to set_file_atime signature change.
* src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir):
Likewise.
* src/incremen.c (try_purge_directory): Likewise.
* src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file): Likewise.
* src/extract.c (file_newer_p): New arg STP. All callers changed.
(maybe_recoverable): New arg REGULAR. All callers changed.
Handle the case of overwriting a symlink with a regular file,
when --overwrite is specified but --dereference is not.
(open_output_file): Add O_CLOEXEC, O_NOCTTY, O_NONBLOCK for
consistency with file creation. Add O_NOFOLLOW if
overwriting_old_files && ! dereference_option.
* src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Use fstat, not fstatat;
there's less to go wrong.
* src/misc.c (deref_stat): Remove DEREF arg. All callers changed.
Instead, use fstatat_flags.
(set_file_atime): Remove ATFLAG arg. All callers changed.
Instead, use fstatat_flags.
* src/names.c, src/update.c: Adjust to deref_stat signature change.
* src/tar.c (get_date_or_file): Use stat, not deref_stat, as this
is not a file to be archived.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac13.at.
* tests/extrac13.at: New file.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
* NEWS: Describe symlink-extraction improvements.
* src/extract.c (enum permstatus): Remove.
(fchmod, fchown): Define dummy replacement macros if the system
does not supply them.
(implemented): New function.
(struct delayed_set_stat): Remove members invert_permissions,
permstatus. They were too confusing, and tried to do too much
in too-little space. Instead, add members current_mode,
current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag. All users changed.
(struct delayed_link): Add members mode, atime, mtime, to support
platforms such as BSD where symlinks have these attributes.
All users changed.
(fd_chmod): Renamed from fdchmod. New argument atflag. Check for
operation not supported at run-time, not at configure-time. Put
fd argument first. All callers changed.
(fd_chown): Likewise, renaming from fdchown.
(fd_stat): Likewise, renaming from fdstat.
(set_mode): Remove args stat_info, cur_info, invert_permissions,
permstatus. Add args mode, mode_mask, current_mode, current_mode_mask,
atflag. All callers changed. Close some races. Use an easier-to
understand method for computing permissions. Work around POSIX
incompatibility in Linux fchmodat. Support extraction of symlink
modes, if the OS allows it.
(set_stat): Remove args cur_info, invert_permissions, permstatus.
Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag.
All callers changed. Close some races. Support extraction of
attributes on symlinks, if the OS allows it.
(delay_set_stat): Remove args invert_permissions, permstatus.
Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, mode, atflag.
The ST arg can be null now, indicating that it's an intermediate
directory. All callers changed.
(repair_delayed_set_stat, apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat):
Close some races.
(extract_dir): Also be paranoid if only --same-permissions, due
to semantics of setgid and setuid directories on some hosts.
This closes a race on those hosts. Simplify calculation of
delay_set_stat arguments; the old code was truly strange and
probably wrong in some border cases.
(extract_dir, extract_file, extract_node, extract_fifo): Don't rely on
unspecified behavior in mode arg of open, mknod, etc. Instead,
mask out those bits when creating the file, and add them later via
fchmod or chmodat.
(open_output_file): file_name is now const. Add arg current_mode,
current_mode_mask. All callers changed. When overwriting old files,
refuse to overwrite something that is not a regular file, since
we're extracting a regular file.
(extract_file): Remove the FIXME comment. Whatever the protection
issues were, they should be fixed now. As a result of all the other
API changes, we now use fchmod etc. rather than chmod etc., closing
some races.
(create_placeholder_file, apply_delayed_links): Record desired
mode and times for symlinks, for OSes that support that.
* NEWS: Don't mention dirfd; no longer needed.
* gnulib.modules: Remove dirfd.
* src/create.c (get_directory_entries): Remove the code dealing
with dirfd failures, as the new fdopendir replacement doesn't
close its argument so we don't need to call dirfd. See
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-09/msg00208.html>
and gnulib commit 970c9038e4cca46e1b037ae0a6d574dfae6a7327.
* NEWS: Note the change. Mention dirfd and fdopendir.
* gnulib.modules: Add dirfd and fdopendir. The code was already
using fdopendir; dirfd is a new need.
* src/common.h (open_searchdir_flags, get_directory_entries):
(subfile_open, restore_parent_fd, tar_stat_close): New decls.
(check_exclusion_tags): Adjust signature to match code change.
* src/create.c (IMPOSTOR_ERRNO): New constant.
(check_exclusion_tags): First arg is now a struct tar_stat_info
const *, not an fd. All callers changed.
(dump_regular_file, dump_file0): A zero fd represents an unused
slot, so play it safe if the fd member is zero here. A negative
fd represents the negation of an errno value, so play it safe and
do not assign -1 to fd merely because an open fails.
(open_failure_recover, get_directory_entries, restore_parent_fd):
(subfile_open): New functions. These help to recover from file
descriptor exhaustion.
(dump_dir, dump_file0): Use them.
(dump_file0): Use tar_stat_close instead of rolling our own close.
* src/incremen.c (scan_directory): Use get_directory_entries,
subfile_open, etc., to recover from file descriptor exhaustion.
* src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Likewise.
(collect_and_sort_names): A negative fd represents the negation
of an errno value, so play it safe and do not assign -1 to fd.
* src/tar.c (decode_options): Set open_searchdir_flags.
Add O_CLOEXEC to all the open flags.
(tar_stat_close): New function, which knows how to deal with
new convention for directory streams and file descriptors.
Diagnose 'close' failures.
(tar_stat_destroy): Use it.
* src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New member dirstream.
fd now has the negative of an errno value, not merely -1, if
the file could not be opened, so that failures to reopen directories
are better-diagnosed later.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac11.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* tests/extrac11.at: New file.
* NEWS: Document this.
* gnulib.modules: Add openat, readlinkat.
* src/common.h (open_read_flags, fstatat_flags): New global variables.
(cachedir_file_p, dump_file, check_exclusion_tags, scan_directory):
Adjust to new signatures, described below.
(name_fill_directory): Remove.
* src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Use open_read_flags.
* src/create.c (struct exclusion_tag): Exclusion predicates now take
a file descriptor, not a file name.
(add_exclusion_tag): Likewise. All uses changed.
(cachedir_file_p): Likewise.
(check_exclusion_tags): The directory is now a file descriptor,
not a file name. All uses changed. Use openat for better traversal.
(file_dumpable_p): Arg is now a struct stat, not a struct
tar_stat_info. All uses changed. Check the arg's file types too.
(dump_dir0, dump_dir, dump_file0, dump_file): Omit top_level and
parent_device args, since st->parent tells us that now. All uses
changed.
(dump_dir): Likewise. Also, omit fd arg for similar reasons.
Apply fdsavedir to a dup of the file descriptor, since we need a
file descriptor for openat etc. as well, and fdsavedir (perhaps
unwisely) consumes its file descriptor when successful.
Do not consume st->fd when successful; this simplifies the caller.
(create_archive): Allocate a file descriptor when retraversing
a directory, during incremental dumps.
(dump_file0): Use fstatat, openat, and readlinkat for better traversal.
When opening a file, use the result of fstat on the file descriptor
rather than the fstatat on the directory entry, to avoid some race
conditions. No need to reopen the directory since we now no longer
close it. Change "did we open the file?" test from 0 <= fd to
0 < fd since fd == 0 now represents uninitialized.
(dump_file): Now accepts struct tar_stat_info describing parent,
not parent_device. Also, accept basename and fullname of entry.
All uses changed.
* src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Accept struct
tar_stat_info for parent, not name. All callers changed.
Use fstatat for safer directory traversal.
(procdir): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not struct stat and
dev_t, for info about directory. All callers changed.
(scan_directory): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not name,
device, and cmdline, for info about directory. All callers
changed. Do not consume the file descriptor, since caller
might need it. Use fstatat and openat for safer directory
traversal; also, use fstat after opening to double-check.
(name_fill_directory): Remove.
* src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Accept struct
tar_stat_info instead of device and cmdline. All callers changed.
When descending into a subdirectory, use openat and fstat for
safer directory traversal.
(collect_and_sort_names): Use open and fstat for safer directory
traversal. Set up struct tar_stat_info for callee's new API.
* src/tar.c (decode_options): Initialize open_read_flags
and fstatat_flags.
(tar_stat_destroy): Close st->fd if it is positive (not zero!).
* src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New members parent, fd.
* src/update.c (update_archive): Adjust to dump_file's API change.
* tests/filerem02.at: Ignore stderr since its contents now depend
on the file system implementation.
* src/tar.c (TAR_SIZE_SUFFIXES): New define.
(parse_opt): Allow for size suffixes in arguments to
-L and --record-size options.
* NEWS, doc/tar.texi: Update.
* src/extract.c (create_placeholder_file)
(extract_link, extract_symlink)
(extract_node, extract_fifo): Handle all possible
return values from maybe_recoverable. This complements
8f390db92f. Reported by Ico Doornekamp <bug-tar@zevv.nl>.
* NEWS: Update.
Tar --remove-files relied on canonicalize_file_name,
which replaces symlinks in file name components with
the directories they point to. Due to this, tar
effectively ignored existence of symbolic links and
was unable to remove a directory that contained any
(Alexander Kozlov <akozlov@nada.kth.se>, 2010-03-15).
* gnulib.modules: Remove canonicalize.
* src/misc.c (normalize_filename): Rewrite
from scratch. The function operates only on
its input string, it makes no attempt to test
components for existence or to resolve symbolic
links.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add remfiles03.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* tests/remfiles03.at: New test case.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/tar.texi (Including a Label in the Archive): Revise
the section.
* NEWS: Update
* src/buffer.c (open_archive): Check volume label on
ACCESS_UPDATE as well.
* src/list.c (test_archive_label): Rewrite to match the
documentation.
* src/names.c (regex_usage_warning): Return int.
(names_notfound): Rewrite the conditional.
(label_notfound): New function.
* tests/label03.at: New testcase.
* tests/label04.at: New testcase.
* tests/label05.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new testcases.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* src/system.c (stat_to_env): Pass information about the current
volume in variables TAR_ARCHIVE, TAR_VOLUME, TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR,
TAR_FORMAT.
* doc/tar.texi: Document new environment variables.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* configure.ac: Version number 1.22.91.
* src/tar.c (struct textual_date): ts is a copy of the structure,
not a pointer to it. Date is a copy as well, hence the `const' is
taken away.
(get_date_or_file): Return 0/1 depending on success/failure.
Copy timestamp to the `ts' member. Store a copy of the string
in `date'.
(report_textual_dates): Report only if verbose_option is set,
but always free the list.
(expand_pax_option): New function.
(parse_opt): Preprocess the argument to xheader_set_option with
expand_pax_option.
(decode_options): Call report_textual_dates unconditionally.
* src/xheader.c (exthdr_mtime_option, exthdr_mtime)
(globexthdr_mtime_option, globexthdr_mtime): New statics.
(xheader_set_keyword_equal): handle exthdr.mtime and globexthdr.mtime.
(xheader_write): Override `t' argument if a corresponding
exthdr.mtime or globexthdr.mtime option is set.
* NEWS: Update
* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
