* configure.ac: Omit stuff no longer needed now that Gnulib or
paxlib does it, or the code no longer needs the configure-time checks.
Do not use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE (Gnulib largefile does this) or check
for fcntl.h, memory.h, net/errno.h, sgtty.h, string.h,
sys/param.h, sys/device.h, sys/gentape.h, sys/inet.h,
sys/io/trioctl.h, sys/time.h, sys/tprintf.h, sys/tape.h, unistd.h,
locale.h, netdb.h; these are all now standard, or old ways of getting
at magtapes are no longer needed and we now have only sys/mtio.h.
Do not check for lstat, readlink, symlink, and check only for
waitpid’s existence rather than attempting to replace it.
Do not check for decls of getgrgid, getpwuid, or time.
Check just once for iconv.h.
* gnulib.modules: Add largefile.
* lib/.gitignore, lib/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS, libtar_a_SOURCES):
Remove system-ioctl.h, which is no longer in paxlib.
All includes now changed to just check HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H directly.
* lib/wordsplit.c (wordsplit_c_escape_tab, wordsplit_errstr)
(wordsplit_nerrs):
Now static or an enum, and without any leading "_" in the name.
* src/buffer.c (record_start, record_end, current_block, records_read):
* src/delete.c (records_skipped): Add extern decl to pacify GCC.
* src/compare.c, src/create.c, src/extract.c: Omit uses of
HAVE_READLINK and HAVE_SYMLINK since we now let Gnulib deal with
platforms lacking readlinkat and symlinkat.
* src/system.c: Use "#if !HAVE_WAITPID" instead of "#if MSDOS".
This also ports to C23 [[maybe_unused]].
* configure.ac (WARN_CFLAGS): Do not add -Wno-unused-parameter.
Add MAYBE_UNUSED where needed in source code.
Also, put it at the front where C23 requires it.
* acinclude.m4, configure.ac:
Use AS_HELP_STRING, not AC_HELP_STRING.
* bootstrap: Sync from Gnulib.
* configure.ac: Require Autoconf 2.71 and Gettext 0.21.
Use AC_PROG_CC, not AC_PROG_CC_STDC.
Prefer AC_COMPILE_IFELSE to AC_TRY_COMPILE.
Use AC_CONFIG_FILES.
* gnulib.modules: Use gettext-h, not gettext.
configure.ac: Bump GCC version from 4.6 to 11.2 when deciding whether
to default to enabling GCC warnings when --enable-gcc-warnings is not
specified, as older GCCs can generate too many false alarms. From
a suggestion by Christian Schoenebeck.
This takes advantage of recent optimizations in Gnulib
for single-threaded programs.
* configure.ac (GNULIB_EXCLUDE_SINGLE_THREAD)
(GNULIB_MBRTOWC_SINGLE_THREAD, GNULIB_REGEX_SINGLE_THREAD)
(GNULIB_WCHAR_SINGLE_LOCALE): Define.
With today’s compilers ‘inline’ is typically not needed for
performance (at least the way GNU Tar uses it) and it gets in the
way of portability.
* configure.ac: Omit AC_C_INLINE; no longer needed here.
* lib/attr-xattr.in.h (setxattr, lsetxattr, fsetxattr, getxattr)
(lgetxattr, fgetxattr, listxattr, llistxattr, flistxattr):
* lib/wordsplit.c (skip_delim_internal, skip_delim)
(skip_delim_real, exptab_matches):
* src/delete.c (flush_file):
* src/extract.c (safe_dir_mode):
* src/misc.c (ptr_align):
Now just static, not static inline.
* lib/wordsplit.h (wordsplit_getwords): Remove; no longer used.
* src/common.h (name_more_files): Now COMMON_INLINE, not
extern inline - which is not portable according to C99,
the way we were using it.
Fedora 33 uses GCC 10.2.1, which is a bit pickier.
* configure.ac: Do not use -Wsystem-headers, as this
runs afoul of netdb.h on Fedora 33.
* gnulib.modules: Add ‘attribute’.
* lib/wordsplit.c (wsnode_new): Return the newly allocated
pointer instead of a boolean, to pacify GCC 10.2.1 which otherwise
complains about use of possibly-null pointers. All uses changed.
* src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Don’t assume find_next_block succeeds.
(_write_volume_label): Pacify GCC 10.2.1 with an ‘assume’, since
LABEL must be nonnull here.
* src/common.h (FALLTHROUGH): Remove; now in attribute.h.
Include attribute.h, for ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL.
* src/misc.c (assign_string_or_null): New function,
taking over the old role of assign_string.
(assign_string): Assume VALUE is non-null.
(assign_null): New function, taking over the old
role of assign_string when its VALUE was nonnull.
All callers of assign_string changed to use these functions.
(assign_string_n): Clear *STRING if VALUE is null,
to fix a potential double-free.
The error() function from glibc correctly prefixes each message it
prints with program_name as set by set_program_name. However, its
replacement from gnulib, which is linked in on systems where this
function is not available, prints the name returned by getprogname()
instead. Due to this messages output by tar subprocess (which sets its
program name to 'tar (child)') become indiscernible from those printed
by the main process. In particular, this breaks the remfiles01.at and
remfiles02.at test cases.
* configure.ac: Define ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME if using
gnulib error().
* src/tar.c [ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME] (tar_print_progname): New function.
(main) [ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME]: Set error_print_progname.
* src/names.c (file_selection_option)
(file_selection_option_name): New functions.
(unconsumed_option_push, unconsumed_option_free)
(unconsumed_option_report): New functions.
(name_list_advance): Maintain a list
of eventually unconsumed options during archive creation.
Report unconsumed options, if any.
* tests/positional01.at: New test case.
* tests/positional02.at: New test case.
* tests/positional03.at: New test case.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test cases.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* NEWS: Document the changes.
* configure.ac: Version 1.29.90
* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
The auxiliary utility ttyemu proved to be unreliable. Given existing
differences between pty implementations and termios ioctls on various
platforms, writing it in a portable way requires effort disproportional
to its actual purpose.
* configure.ac: Remove check for grantpt
* gnulib.modules: Remove posix_openpt, ptsname, and unlockpt
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Remove iotty.at
(check_PROGRAMS): Remove ttyemu.
* tests/testsuite.at: Remove iotty.at
* tests/iotty.at: Remove.
* tests/ttyemu.c: Remove.
The --verbatim-files-from option disables option handling in
file lists. The --no-verbatim-files-from reverts its effect.
The --null option implies --verbatim-files-from. This restores
the documented behavior, broken by 26538c9b.
* src/common.h (verbatim_files_from_option): New global.
* src/names.c (name_elt): New member: file.verbatim
(name_add_file): Take 'verbatim' state as its third parameter.
(read_next_name): Don't call handle_option if file.verbatim
is set.
* src/tar.c: New options --verbatim-files-from and
--no-verbatim-files-from.
* doc/tar.texi: Document --verbatim-files-from and
--no-verbatim-files-from options.
* NEWS: Update.
* configure.ac: Version 1.28.90
* tests/T-null2.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am: Update.
* tests/testsuite.at: Update.
* configure.ac (TAR_COND_GRANTPT): Define conditional depending
on whether grantpt is available.
* gnulib.modules: Remove grantpt. It relies upon a helper binary
pt_chown which it installs and which is useless in the testsuite.
* tests/Makefile.am [TAR_COND_GRANTPT]: Build ttyemu
* tests/iotty.at: Skip test if ttyemu is not build.
* tests/ttyemu.c (noecho): Fix error message
(main): Use TIOCSCTTY if it is defined.
When --acls option is on (regardless of tarball contents or
tarball format), we should explicitly set OR delete default ACLs
for extracted directories. Prior to this update, we always
created arbitrary default ACLs based standard file permissions.
* configure.ac (with_posix_acls): Check also for acl_free and
acl_delete_def_file to mark IEEE 1003.1e ACLs as supported.
* src/xattrs.c (acl_delete_def_file_at): New function.
(xattrs__acls_set): Do not treat acls_option at all; Delete
default ACLs if appropriate.

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-04/msg00009.html>.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Increase from 0.16 to 0.18.2.
README-alpha says that we do not make any efforts to accommodate
older versions of Gettext.
* configure.ac (gl_GCC_VERSION_IFELSE): New macro, from coreutils.
(gl_gcc_warnings): By default, disable warnings for GCC versions
before 4.6. This works around a failure when building from git on
Ubuntu 10, reported privately by Nathan Stratton Treadway.
