* doc/tar.texi (Reproducibility): Improve index.
Improve and add comments to recipe. In the recipe,
don’t worry about file names beginning with ‘-’ for simplicity;
don’t use touch -c as it exits with status 0 even when it
does not work; and set directory timestamps too.
&> is a bashism and causes various tests to fail with /bin/sh as non-bash
(e.g. dash). Use the same pattern the rest of the file uses instead of &>.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: true
* src/common.h (name): New field: is_wildcard.
(name_scan): Change protoype.
* src/delete.c: Update calls to name_scan.
* src/names.c (addname, add_starting_file): Initialize is_wildcard.
(namelist_match): Take two arguments. If second one is true, return
only exact matches.
(name_scan): Likewise. All callers updated.
(name_from_list): Skip patterns.
* src/update.c (remove_exact_name): New function.
(update_archive): Do not remove matching name, if it is a pattern.
Instead, add a new entry with the matching file name.
* tests/update04.at: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include new test.
* NEWS: Update.
* doc/tar.1: Add missing dots, use plural when necessary,
tweak a wording. Remove an incorrect observation, three times.
Add some missing articles, correct some formatting,
and expand the opaque descriptions of two options.
* doc/tar.texi: Drop a stray `cd` command from an example.
Correct two cross references, correct the paragraph
about the manpage, and unbreak a URL.
* src/names.c: Correct and shorten an error message: "non-optional"
means "mandatory", but "non-option" is what was meant. And the
phrase "in archive create or update mode" was both unneeded and
incomplete.
* tests/positional01.at: Change expected error text.
* tests/positional02.at: Likewise.
* tests/positional03.at: Likewise.
Extract delayed links in tar file order, rather than
in hash table order with modifications.
This is simpler and more likely to use the kernel’s
cached filesystem data, assuming related delayed links
are nearby in the tar file.
* src/extract.c (struct delayed_link.has_predecessor):
Remove. All uses removed.
(delayed_link_head, delayed_link_tail): New static vars.
This resurrects delayed_link_head’s old function
except that the linked list is now in forward order, not reverse.
(find_delayed_link_source): Now simply returns bool,
since the callers no longer need the pointer.
(create_placeholder_file):
Put the delayed link at the end of the linked list.
Omit no-longer-needed last arg. All callers changed.
(apply_delayed_links): Simplify now that we can just iterate
through the delayed_link_head list.
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.
* src/extract.c (create_placeholder_file): Use FLEXNSIZEOF (overlooked
by c542d3d0c8)
(apply_delayed_links): Don't follow the "next" chain after its entries
have been applied.
Portability bug caught by GCC 13 -fstrict-flex-arrays.
* gnulib.modules: Add flexmember.
* src/create.c (struct link):
* src/exclist.c (struct excfile):
* src/extract.c (struct delayed_link, struct string_list):
Include <flexmember.h>. Use FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER, for
portability to strict C99 or later. All storage
allocations changed to use FLEXNSIZEOF.
This simplifies code that would otherwise use dup and close.
* gnulib.modules: Add dup2.
* src/system.c: Add #pragma to pacify GCC 13.
(xdup2): Simplify by using dup2.
* doc/tar.texi (Extended File Attributes): The default extraction
pattern consists of just 'user.*' namespace only. While on it, try
to explain the reasons for this default behavior.
Based on patch from Fabian Grünbichler <f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com>
* src/xattrs.c (acls_get_text): New function. If given --numeric-owner,
use acl_to_any_text to convert ACL to textual representation. Print
warning if that function is not available.
(xattrs__acls_get_a, xattrs__acls_get_d): Use acls_get_text.
* doc/tar.1: Add needed option -f after operation -A, sort operation -t
alphabetically, add --file after --concatenate, consistently use long
option --file in the GNU-style section, and delete duplicate --update.
* doc/tar.texi: Add small missing word, and lowercase a letter.
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63823
* src/delete.c (flush_file): Break the loop on EOF.
* tests/delete06.at: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable): If make_directories indicates
success, suppose some intermediate directories have been made, even
if in fact they have not. That's necessary to avoid dead loops when
maybe_recoverable is called with the same arguments again.
Gnulib now supports a single-file bootstrap with --pull
and --gen options, in place of the three files
autopull.sh, autogen.sh, bootstrap-funclib.sh.
This keeps the top level a bit cleaner.
* bootstrap: Sync from Gnulib build-aux/bootstrap
instead of from top/bootstrap.
* autopull.sh, autogen.sh, bootstrap-funclib.sh: Remove.
(In response to savannah bug #63574)
* doc/intern.texi: Document actual tar behaviour in regard to
missing end-of-file marker.
* doc/tar.texi: Rewrite the "warnings" section. Document
--warning=missing-zero-blocks
* src/common.h (WARN_MISSING_ZERO_BLOCKS): New constant.
(WARN_ALL): Include all warning bits.
* src/list.c (read_and): If EOF is reached without seeing end-of-file
blocks and the "missing-zero-blocks" warning is requested, warn about
the fact.
* src/warning.c: New warnings: "missing-zero-blocks", "verbose".
(warning_option): Change definition to reflect changes in common.h
Problem reported by Boris Gjenero in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-tar/2022-11/msg00001.html
* src/update.c (append_file): Don’t assume that FILE_NAME is a
regular file whose size can be determined before reading.
Instead, simply read from the file until its end is reached.
README-alpha is for alpha releases, which are not from Git or CVS, so
omit mention of that. I'm not sure we'll ever do alpha releases, but
if we do, README-alpha assumes the tarballs are already bit.
Update README-hacking with info that was mistakenly put into
README-alpha. Also mention Bison, needed for parse-date.y.
