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.

member continued from the previous volume.

* tests/label02.at: New testcase.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/testsuite.at: Add new testcases.
This adds --with-gzip, --with-bzip2 etc. switches to the configure, so that
one can do, e.g. ./configure --with-bzip2=lbzip2 and have lbzip2 executed
whenever user calls `tar --bzip2'.

sys_drain_input_pipe. Pass hit_eof as the second
argument to sys_wait_for_child.
* src/common.h (sys_drain_input_pipe): Remove
(sys_wait_for_child): Declare second argument.
* src/system.c (sys_drain_input_pipe): Remove.
(sys_wait_for_child): Take two arguments. The second one helps to
decide whether to tolerate child termination on SIGPIPE.
which was always false on a first record and thus disabled record
size autodetection. Thanks Ed Leaver for the patch.

something.

* doc/tar.texi: Document -J, --no-auto-compress, etc.

compression program was specified explicitly.
Fall back to analyzing archive name, if the autodetection fails.
* src/suffix.c: Add .lzo

New short option -J (alias for --lzma).
* src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Print more information with error
diagnostics.
(_gnu_flush_write): Improve error checking. Adjust
real_s_sizeleft before calling new_volume to avoid creating
malformed multivolume headers.
* tests/delete05.at, tests/gzip.at, tests/ignfail.at,

2007-12-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Exit with nonzero status if a close fails on an archive.
Problem (and initial trivial fix)
* src/buffer.c (close_archive, new_volume): close_error, not close_warn.
(set_start_time): Set volume_start_time and last_stat_time as well
(set_volume_start_time): New function
(compute_duration): Do not call set_start_time, update
last_stat_time instead. Use it in calculation instead of
start_time, which is now set only once, upon startup.
(print_total_written): Removed.
(print_total_stats): New function for printing byte/speed statistics.
(_open_archive): Detect attempts to update compressed archives.
(_gnu_flush_write): Always update prev_written.

This doesn't result in any measurable performance improvement
on my host (Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 stable, with default block size),
but I assume it does help on some hosts.
