* src/list.c (test_archive_label):
* src/misc.c (chdir_count):
* src/names.c (const):
* src/unlink.c (finish_deferred_unlinks):
Define with (void) instead of with (), for slightly-better C type
checking and to avoid a GCC warning.
* src/compare.c (diff_dumpdir):
* src/tar.c (parse_owner_group): Remove unused local.
* src/misc.c (chdir_do):
* src/tar.c (add_exclude_array): Rename local to avoid shadowing.
(LOW_DENSITY_NUM, MID_DENSITY_NUM, HIGH_DENSITY_NUM):
Define only if needed.
* src/update.c (update_archive): Initialize a local; this fixes
what appears to be a real bug.

* gnulib.modules: Add fcntl-h, which defines
HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW.
* src/extract.c (open_output_file): Use HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW,
not O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whther O_NOFOLLOW works.
This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog
by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it earlier.
On Data Migration Facility (DMF), High Peformance Storage System (HPSS),
and presumably other file systems based on hierarchical storage, opening
a regular file with O_NONBLOCK can cause later reads to fail with
errno == EAGAIN. We need the O_NONBLOCK to avoid some security races.
Work around the problem by using fcntl to clear the O_NONBLOCK
flag if I/O fails with that errno value.

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.

This is controlled by "existing-file" warning code, which is off
by default.
* src/common.h (WARN_EXISTING_FILE): New warning code.
(WARN_VERBOSE_WARNINGS): Add WARN_EXISTING_FILE.
* src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable): warn about existing file
if WARN_EXISTING_FILE is set.

tar_stat_info as argument.
Initialize its fd.
(diff_archive): Update call to diff_dumpdir.
(verify_volume): Call clear_directory_table.
* scripts/tar-snapshot-edit: Update Perl syntax to work
correctly with more recent versions of Perl. (The original
code worked with in the v5.8 timeframe but not with
Perl v5.10.1 and later.)
Add a "-c" option to check the snapshot file for invalid
field values.
Handle NFS indicator character ("+") in version 0 and 1 files.
Preserve the original header/version line when editing version 1
or 2 files.
Tweak output formatting.
* doc/tar-snapshot-edit.texi: Update documentation.
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

by Mark W. Eichin, communicated by Thayne Harbaugh to bug-tar in

* 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/tar.c (add_exclude_array): Take exclude option filags in its
second argument.
(parse_opt): Register backup_file_table with the EXCLUDE_WILDCARDS flag.
* tests/exclude07.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add testsuite.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include exclude07.at.
* src/extract.c (same_birthtime): Remove.
(extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Go back to using timestamp_cmp
instead of same_birthtime, as this is a bit simpler. This fix relies
on an up-to-date gnulib.
Without this fix, tar would sometimes mishandle the extraction of
hard links to symbolic links. Problem reported in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-06/msg00000.html>
by Andreas Stolcke.
* src/extract.c (struct delayed_link): Change ctime member to birthtime.
(same_birthtime): New function.
(create_placeholder_file, extract_link, apply_delayed_links):
Use it to compare birthtimes (when available) instead of ctime.

* src/compare.c (diff_file): Do not restore atime of size-zero files.
* src/create.c (dump_file0): Likewise. Also, do not restore atime
when fd is zero, because that indicates a file we haven't opened.
There is no longer (since SunOS 4) any need to guard against
free (NULL), so replace each "if (p) free (p);" with "free (p);".

Problem reported by Dennis Wydra in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-11/msg00082.html>.
* scripts/backup.in: Accept "-l LEVEL". Be more systematic about
backslashes inside ``; it shouldn't matter for modern shells but
it might matter for older ones.
* scripts/restore.in: Likewise.
* scripts/backup.in: Adjust implementation of -t/--time to match
the new implementation of -l/--level.
* 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.
Some compression programs are able to handle various compression formats
(e.g. `gzip' can decompress files created by `compress', `xz' is able
to handle lzma, etc.) Tar tries to use such programs for decompression
if the principal decompressor cannot be started.
* src/buffer.c (compress_type): Swap ct_none and ct_tar.
(archive_compression_type): New static variable.
(zip_magic): Remove program and option fields.
(zip_program): New structure and static.
(compress_program): Remove macro.
(find_zip_program): New static function.
(first_decompress_program,next_decompress_program): New functions.
(open_compressed_archive): Set archive_compression_type instead of
use_compress_program_option.
* src/common.h (first_decompress_program)
(next_decompress_program): New functions.
(WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM): New flag.
(WARN_VERBOSE_WARNINGS): Include WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM.
* src/warning.c (warning_args): Add "decompress-program".
(warning_types): Add WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM.
* src/system.c (run_decompress_program): New function.
(sys_child_open_for_uncompress): Use run_decompress_program
instead of calling execlp directly.
* tests/extrac17.at: Add --warning=no-timestamp, to avoid
bogus warning due to NFS clock skew.
* tests/remfiles01.at: Discard diagnostics that some shells
generate about broken pipes.
* tests/sigpipe.at: Likewise.
* tests/remfiles01.at: Fix typo: "test $EC" was written where
"test $EC -ne 0" was intended.
* src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link, start_header): Access
header->buffer + offsetof (struct posix_header, magic), instead of
header->header.magic, when reading or writing the OLDGNU_MAGIC
pattern. The code violates the C standard without this change,
and GCC warns about this if fortify checking is enabled. It's not
a bug on traditional (i.e., non-debugging) platforms, but it does
violate the C standard so it should be fixed. Problem originally
reported by John Emil Karlson in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-04/msg00023.html>.
* src/list.c (decode_header): Likewise.
OpenBSD /bin/sh, and some other sh variants, squirrel away file
descriptors before closing them. For example, for "cat 3<&-" they
first dup file descriptor 3 to a fd that is 10 or greater, then
close 3 (because if "cat" had been a builtin command like ":" then
they would have wanted to avoid the fork and restore the fd after
":" finished); and they treat ordinary (forking) commands the same
as builtin commands. This approach fails after "ulimit -n 10".
Work around this deficiency by closing the file descriptors before
invoking ulimit. Problem reported by Christian Weisgerber in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-10/msg00041.html>;
solution suggested by Jilles Tjoelker in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/415>.
* tests/extrac11.at (scarce file descriptors): Close file
descriptors before invoking ulimit -n.
