* doc/tar.texi: Fix description of the argument to --xattrs-exclude
and --xattrs-include option. It is a globbing pattern, not a regex.
Fix a typo (LZOP)
* src/extract.c (find_direct_ancestor): New function.
(create_placeholder_file): Set after_links member on delayed_set_stat
entries starting from the direct ancestor of the placeholder file.
* tests/extrac21.at: New testcase.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add extrac21
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
* NEWS: Update.
* src/names.c (read_next_name): Don't unquote name read from the
file, if --verbatim-files-from option is in effect.
(names_options): improve description of --verbatim-files-from
* tests/T-null2.at: Test the change.
* src/create.c (file_count_links): Apply safer_name_suffix to the
hard link name prior to transforming it.
* tests/xform03.at: New test case.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add xform03.at
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
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.
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.
Problem reported by Daniel Peebles in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2017-04/msg00004.html
* 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.
* scripts/backup.in: Check exit code of MT_BEGIN
* scripts/backup.sh.in (backup_host): Return meaningful code
in case of remote execution. See the comment, though.
* src/common.h (name_more_files): New proto.
(files_from_option): Remove.
* src/names.c (name_more_files): New file.
(names_options): Fix declaration of the
add-file option.
(names_parse_opt): Handle --add-file.
* src/tar.c (struct tar_args): Remove the input_files member.
Change all uses: use name_more_files() instead.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
* tests/add-file.at: New testcase.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add new test.
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.
* src/tar.h (tar_stat_info): New argument sparse_name_done.
* src/xheader.c (raw_path_decoder): Move here the unconditional
code from path_decoder.
(path_decoder): Apply raw_path_decoder only if sparse_path_decoder
was not yet called.
(sparse_path_decoder): New wrapper around raw_path_decoder.
* tests/sparse07.at: New testcase.
* tests/testsuite.at: Mention new testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
This makes archive create behavior consistent with the
documentation. Without this change xattr include/exclude options
are accepted when creating an archive but are silently ignored.
* src/xattrs.c (xattrs_xattrs_get): Apply exclude/include mask
when fetching extended attributes
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test case.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* 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.
* src/system.c (xexec): Use sh -c to run the command. This fixed
bug introduced by 7b5e80396 (tar 1.27)
* doc/tar.texi: Fix checkpoint examples: (1) $TAR_FILENAME
is not available when creating archive and (2) --checkpoint
can't be used as abbreviation of --checkpoint-action
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.
Be careful to define HAVE_XATTRS when not all needed xattr-related
functions are properly defined either in libc or libattr.
Reported independently by Denis Excoffier and Dominyk Tille.
* acinclude.m4 (TAR_HEADERS_ATTR_XATTR_H): Check for each xattr
function separately. Don't AC_CHECK_LIB (LIBS is filled by
AC_SEARCH_LIBS when necessary).
* src/Makefile.am: The LDADD -lattr was redundant.
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.

* doc/tar.1: Document --clamp-mtime
* doc/tar.texi: Likewise.
* src/common.h (set_mtime_option_mode): New enum
(set_mtime_option): Change type to enum set_mtime_option_mode.
(NEWER_OPTION_INITIALIZED): Rename to NEWER_OPTION_INITIALIZED.
* src/create.c (start_header): Set mtime depending on set_mtime_option.
* src/tar.c (options,parse_opt): New option --clamp-mtime

* tests/time02.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new testcase
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.

mounted, current LA and lots of other factors, creation of archive can
take much more time than the expected 2 seconds.

* src/unlink.c (flush_deferred_unlinks): OpenSolaris sets EEXIST
instead of ENOTEMPTY if trying to remove a non-empty directory.
* tests/numeric.at: Avoid using awk -v: some older awks don't support

mode bits.
* tests/sparse06.at: Use --quiet option.
