Existing compression tests used tar with compiled-in defaults. However,
some of the defaults are sure to create archives that are not byte-to-byte
reproducible (e.g. DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=POSIX, because the name field
in posix extended headers uses PID of the creating process by default).
Moreover, some compressors (e.g. gzip) store current timestamp in
the file header when compressing from stdin, so that using cmp on the
two created archives as the tests did is error-prone. Another problem
is that the tests implicitly assumed that tar uses archive suffix to
recognize its format when extracting, which isn't the case. Finally,
there's hardly any reason in using sed to create m4 sources, when
everything can be achieved by m4 itself.
* tests/Makefile.am: Remove generation of compress-*.at files.
* tests/compress.at.in: Remove.
* tests/compress.m4: New file.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include compress.m4, use TAR_CHECK_COMPRESS to
check compression options.
While creating file, BSD kernels inherit the group ownership from
parent directory.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-06/msg00000.html
* tests/numeric.at: Attempt to 'chown' the newly created directory
to proper group (at least on affected machines that command is
expected to succeed).
In both tests, the "file changed as we read it" warning might be
produced for dir/sub, depending on the ctime resolution and timing.
The problem was fixed by 64b43fdf70, but regressed
after e7cd377f78, which removed 1 second
delays between each pair of checkpoints. Since the presense or absense
of this warning is irrelevant for the test, it is now suppressed.
* tests/dirrem01.at: Suppress the file-changed warning.
* tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise.
* src/checkpoint.c (checkpoint_finish_compile): Set default action,
if necessary.

Hardlinking a symlink produces hardlink on BSD and symlink
on GNU/Linux. Avoid the ambiguity.
* tests/difflink.at: Create hard link from a regular file.
This action instructs tar to pause until given signal is delivered.
The newer genfile tool uses this action for communication between
genfile and tar in exec mode. This eliminates race conitions and
speeds up the tests based on exec mode.

* src/checkpoint.c: Implement the wait action.
* src/common.h (decode_signal): New proto.

Running "make check" would fail with this:
T-nonl.at:30: error: m4_divert_push: cannot change diversion
to `GROW' inside m4_expand
* tests/T-nonl.at: Use printf in place of AS_ECHO_N.
These days, printf should work for everyone.
* tests/compress.at.in: New file: template from which each
per-compression-tool test is derived.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add compress.at.in.
(compress-*.at): New rules to generate a file/tests for each compression tool.
* tests/testsuite.at (Compression): Add each of these generated
files in a new section.
* tests/.gitignore: Ignore the new generated files.
Previously the '--checkpoint-action=echo' was triggered after
'--checkpoint-action=sleep=1' - so the order of events *usually*
was (for --format='gnu'):
...
1. checkpoint handler before write of 'dir/sub' member
2. one-second delay
3. stderr write: 'tar: Write checkpoint 3'
4. write the member 'dir/sub' into the archive
5. check that the member's ctime has not been changed
6. genfile's detecting 'Write checkpoint', doing unlink
...
But sometimes, the genfile was fast enough to win the race and
unlinked the directory before the member was written into the
archive (IOW, the order was 1-2-3-6-4-5). This led to the
occasional warning 'tar: dir/sub: file changed as we read it'.
Swap the order of 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions so the genfile
utility has (hopefully) enough time to do the unlink before
writing the file into the archive (enforce 1-2-3-6-4-5 order).
* tests/dirrem01.at: Swap 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions.
* tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise.
Define environment variable TARTEST_SKIP_LARGE_FILES=1 in order
to skip tests that require lots of disk space.

entries starting from the direct ancestor of the placeholder file.

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/testsuite.at: Add new test.
* src/common.h (name_more_files): New proto.

Change all uses: use name_more_files() instead.

* 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.

(file_selection_option_name): New functions.
(unconsumed_option_push, unconsumed_option_free)
(unconsumed_option_report): New functions.

of eventually unconsumed options during archive creation.
Report unconsumed options, if any.

* 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 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.

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.
