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.
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.

* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
* src/common.h (SKIP_OLD_FILES): New old_files mode.

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
<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.

* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
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.

* gnulib.modules: Likewise. Also, remove ftruncate (now obsolete).
And add inttostr (we missed this dependency).
* src/tar.c: Include parse-datetime.h, not getdate.h. All calls
to get_date replaced with parse_datetime.
This closes another race condition, that occurs when overwriting a
symlink with a regular file.

* 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.

* src/create.c: Adjust to set_file_atime signature change.
* src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir):
Likewise.

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.

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'.

(parse_opt): --seek and --no-seek set seek_option,
not seekable_archive.
(decode_options): Initialize seek_option to -1.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/tar.texi: Update.
Changes to src/create.c and src/incremen.c are partially
based on patch from Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com>.
The new testcases require paxutils commit f653a2b or later.
* src/common.h (struct name): New member `cmdline'.
(dump_file): Change type of the 2nd argument to bool.
(file_removed_diag, dir_removed_diag): New prototypes.
