* gnulib.modules: Add fcntl-h, which defines
HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW.

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.
On Data Migration Facility (DMF), High Peformance Storage System (HPSS),
and presumably other file systems based on hierarchical storage, opening
a regular file with O_NONBLOCK can cause later reads to fail with
errno == EAGAIN. We need the O_NONBLOCK to avoid some security races.
Work around the problem by using fcntl to clear the O_NONBLOCK
flag if I/O fails with that errno value.

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

* src/extract.c (same_birthtime): Remove.
(extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Go back to using timestamp_cmp
instead of same_birthtime, as this is a bit simpler. This fix relies
on an up-to-date gnulib.
Without this fix, tar would sometimes mishandle the extraction of
hard links to symbolic links. Problem reported in

* src/compare.c (diff_file): Do not restore atime of size-zero files.
* src/create.c (dump_file0): Likewise. Also, do not restore atime
when fd is zero, because that indicates a file we haven't opened.
There is no longer (since SunOS 4) any need to guard against
free (NULL), so replace each "if (p) free (p);" with "free (p);".

Problem (and idea for fix) reported by Martin Weigel
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-11/msg00071.html>.
* src/common.h (is_individual_file): Remove decl.
* src/create.c (dump_file0): Replace "is_individual_file (p)"
with "top_level".
* src/incremen.c (procdir): Replace "!is_individual_file

and --listed-incremental.
* src/names.c (individual_file_table, register_individual_file):
(is_individual_file): Remove. All uses removed.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/compare.c (verify_volume): Decode the header before invoking
diff_archive, as diff_archive no longer does this as of the
2010-06-28 commit. Also, don't try to invoke diff_archive on a
zero block.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add verify.at.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include verify.at.
* tests/verify.at: New file.
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.
* src/buffer.c (compress_type): Swap ct_none and ct_tar.
(archive_compression_type): New static variable.
(zip_magic): Remove program and option fields.
(zip_program): New structure and static.
(compress_program): Remove macro.
(find_zip_program): New static function.
(first_decompress_program,next_decompress_program): New functions.
(open_compressed_archive): Set archive_compression_type instead of
use_compress_program_option.

* src/system.c (run_decompress_program): New function.
(sys_child_open_for_uncompress): Use run_decompress_program
instead of calling execlp directly.
* src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link, start_header): Access
header->buffer + offsetof (struct posix_header, magic), instead of
header->header.magic, when reading or writing the OLDGNU_MAGIC
pattern. The code violates the C standard without this change,
and GCC warns about this if fortify checking is enabled. It's not
a bug on traditional (i.e., non-debugging) platforms, but it does
violate the C standard so it should be fixed. Problem originally
reported by John Emil Karlson in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-04/msg00023.html>.
* src/list.c (decode_header): Likewise.
This bug was discovered on Solaris 8. On older hosts lacking
O_NOFOLLOW, tar -x --overwrite (without --dereference) follows
symbolic links, causing the "extract over symlinks" test to fail.
* src/extract.c (open_output_file): If O_NOFOLLOW is needed but
does not work, check for a symlink separately.
The commit 9c194c99 altered that order.
* src/list.c (transform_stat_info): New function. Split off from
decode_header.
(read_and): Call transform_stat_info right before do_something,
and after deciding if we should proceed with this member name,
so that name matching occurs before name transformation.
* tests/extrac17.at: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac17.at
* tests/testsuite.at: Include extrac17.at.

This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog

* configure.ac, NEWS: Version 1.24
* bootstrap: Restore tar-specific code lost during last
sync from gnulib (241b72ffad).
* src/misc.c (chdir_do): Remove unused automatic variable.
Without this change, if tar tried to extract a file A/B/C, noticed
that A/B didn't exist, attempted to mkdir A/B, and the mkdir
failed, it did not diagnose the mkdir failure, but simply reported
the failure to open A/B/C. This sometimes led to confusion
because it wasn't clear what tar was trying to do, in particular
that tar tried to mkdir A/B. With this patch, tar issues two
diagnostics in this case: one for A/B and the other for A/B/C.
Problem reported by Hauke Laging in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-10/msg00020.html>.
* gnulib.modules: Remove faccessat.
* src/extract.c (make_directories): New arg INTERDIR_MADE.
Diagnose mkdir failure. Return 0 on success, nonzero on failure,
as opposed to nonzero iff some directory was created. All callers
changed. Simplify the code when mkdir fails, by checking whether
the desired file exists unless errno==EEXIST: this is more robust.
* tests/extrac15.at: New test, to check this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
* bootstrap: Sync from gnulib.
* doc/.gitignore: Rename getdate.texi to parse-datetime.texi.
* doc/Makefile.am (tar_TEXINFOS): Likewise.
* doc/tar.texi (Top): Adjust to renaming of getdate to parse-datetime.
* 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.
* src/misc.c (chdir_do): Don't use O_NOFOLLOW when opening the
argument to -C. This is for consistency with "tar -c -C FOO", and
matches the new documentation.
* tests/extrac14.at: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
This closes another race condition, that occurs when overwriting a
symlink with a regular file.
* NEWS (--dereference consistency): New section.
* 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.
(diff_file, diff_dumpdir): Likewise, for fstatat_flags.
* src/create.c: Adjust to set_file_atime signature change.
* src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir):
Likewise.

* src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file): Likewise.
* src/extract.c (file_newer_p): New arg STP. All callers changed.
(maybe_recoverable): New arg REGULAR. All callers changed.
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.
* tests/extrac13.at: New file.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
