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/common.h (first_decompress_program)
(next_decompress_program): New functions.
(WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM): New flag.
(WARN_VERBOSE_WARNINGS): Include WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM.
* src/warning.c (warning_args): Add "decompress-program".
(warning_types): Add WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM.
* src/system.c (run_decompress_program): New function.
(sys_child_open_for_uncompress): Use run_decompress_program
instead of calling execlp directly.
* 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.
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/incremen.c (try_purge_directory): 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.
* doc/tar.texi (Reliability and security, Reliability):
(Permissions problems, Data corruption and repair, Race conditions):
(Security, Privacy, Integrity, Live untrusted data):
(Security rules of thumb): New nodes.
* COPYING: Update to latest version; this is just minor formatting.
* doc/fdl.texi: Update from GFDL 1.2 to 1.3.
* doc/tar.texi: Adjust to new format of fdl.texi. Omit trailing
white space.
* src/tar.c (TAR_SIZE_SUFFIXES): New define.

-L and --record-size options.

documentation.

* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* src/system.c (stat_to_env): Pass information about the current
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'.
(report_textual_dates): Report only if verbose_option is set,
but always free the list.
(expand_pax_option): New function.
(parse_opt): Preprocess the argument to xheader_set_option with
expand_pax_option.

(xheader_set_keyword_equal): handle exthdr.mtime and globexthdr.mtime.
(xheader_write): Override `t' argument if a corresponding
exthdr.mtime or globexthdr.mtime option is set.

* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
* src/buffer.c (guess_seekable_archive): New function.
(_open_archive): Call guess_seekable_archive for archives
open for reading.
(new_volume): Likewise.
* src/common.h (seek_option): New global.
* src/tar.c (options): New option --no-seek.
(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.
(addname): New argument `cmdline'.
(name_from_list): Change return value.
* src/create.c (dump_dir0, dump_dir): top_level is bool.
(create_archive): Update calls to name_from_list.
Take advantage of the name->cmdline to set top_level argument
during incremental backups.
(dump_file0): top_level is bool.
Do not bail out if a no-top-level file disappears during incremental
backup, use file_removed_diag instead.
(dump_filed): top_level is bool.

ENOENT. It should have already been reported elsewhere.

Re-assign -J as a short equivalent of --xz.
* doc/tar.texi, NEWS: Document --xz
* bootstrap.conf: Include size_max.
* gnulib.modules: Remove memset, rmdir. Replace strdup with
strdup-posix. Patch by Eric Blake.

size' output.

(transform_name): Take an additional argument, specifying scope
flags.

explicitly required. Thanks Cyril Strejc for reporting the
problem.

New short option -J (alias for --lzma).
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.
