* 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.
The bug was introduced by commit 79d1ac38c1, which didn't take into
account all the consequences of returning RECOVER_OK on EEXIST, in
particular interactions with the delayed_set_stat logic.
The commit 79d1ac38c1 is reverted (the bug it was intended to fix
was actually fixed by 79a442d7b0). Instead:
* src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable): Don't call maybe_recoverable
if EEXIST is reported when UNLINK_FIRST_OLD_FILES option is set.
The function frees the patterns' wordsplit structure without asking
add_exclude to reallocate the strings. In many cases, this leads to
each file name in the directory being checked against the memory
location where it just got reallocated.
* src/exclist.c: Use EXCLUDE_ALLOC.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes
* src/common.h: Include <inttostr.h> since paxutils no longer does.
(STRINGIFY_BIGINT): New macro, copied from older paxutils.
(UINTMAX_STRSIZE_BOUND): New constant, also from older paxutils.
This bug was introduced by the recent lseek-related changes.
* src/delete.c (delete_archive_members):
* src/update.c (update_archive):
Copy the member if acting as a filter, rather than lseeking over
it, which is possible if stdin is a regular file.
* src/list.c (skim_file, skim_member):
* src/sparse.c (sparse_skim_file):
New functions, for copying when a filter.
* src/list.c (skip_file): Remove; replaced with skim_file.
All callers changed.
(skip_member): Reimplement in terms of skim_member.
* src/sparse.c (sparse_skip_file):
Remove; replaced with sparse_skim_file. All callers changed.
* src/update.c (acting_as_filter): New static var.
(update_archive): Set it; this is like delete.c.
* tests/delete01.at (deleting a member after a big one):
* tests/delete02.at (deleting a member from stdin archive):
Also test filter case.
* src/extract.c (set_xattr): Simplify, by having it do only
the mknodat and xattrs_xattrs_set, rather than also
trying to recover from failure. Caller simplified too.
* tests/xattr07.at (xattrs: xattrs and --skip-old-files):
Adjust test to match fixed behavior.
Problem reported by Kevin Raymond in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1886540
* src/extract.c (open_output_file): If we already created the
empty file, do not open with O_EXCL, or with O_CREAT or O_TRUNC
for that matter. Instead, use only O_NOFOLLOW to avoid some
races. When estimating current mode, use openflag & O_EXCL rather
than overwriting_old_files.
(extract_file): Also invert S_IWUSR if it’s not set.
* tests/xattr08.at: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/testsuite.at: Add it.
Do this by searching a hash table instead of a linked list.
Problem reported by Martin Dørum in https://mort.coffee/home/tar/
via Gavin Smith in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-tar/2022-07/msg00003.html
* src/extract.c: Include hash.h.
Improve performance a bit on non-birthtime hosts
(struct delayed_link.has_predecessor): New member.
(delayed_link_head): Remove, replacing with ...
(delayed_link_table): ... this new variable. All uses
of linked list replaced with hash table.
(dl_hash, dl_compare): New functions for hash table.
(create_placeholder_file): Initialize has_predecessor.
(apply_delayed_link): New function, with body taken from
most of the old apply_delayed_link.
(apply_delayed_links): Use it. Respect has_predecessor.
Don’t bother freeing as we are about to exit.
* src/extract.c (HAVE_BIRTHTIME, BIRTHTIME_EQ): New macros.
(struct delayed_link, create_placeholder_file, extract_link)
(apply_delayed_links): Avoid unnecessary work on platforms
like GNU/Linux that lack birthtime.
* src/buffer.c, src/delete.c: Do not include system-ioctl.h.
* src/buffer.c (guess_seekable_archive): Remove. This is now done
by get_archive_status, in a different way.
(get_archive_status): New function that gets archive_stat
unless remote, and sets seekable_archive etc.
(_open_archive): Prefer bool for boolean.
(_open_archive, new_volume): Get archive status consistently
by calling get_archive_status in both places.
* src/buffer.c (backspace_output):
* src/compare.c (verify_volume):
* src/delete.c (move_archive):
Let mtioseek worry about mtio.
* src/common.h (archive_stat): New global, replacing ar_dev and
ar_ino. All uses changed.
* src/delete.c (move_archive): Check for integer overflow.
Also report overflow if the archive position would go negative.
* src/system.c: Include system-ioctl.h, for MTIOCTOP etc.
(mtioseek): New function, which also checks for integer overflow.
(sys_save_archive_dev_ino): Remove.
(archive_stat): Now
(sys_get_archive_stat): Also initialize mtioseekable_archive.
(sys_file_is_archive): Don’t return true if the archive is /dev/null
since it’s not a problem in that case.
(sys_detect_dev_null_output): Cache dev_null_stat.
doc: omit MS-DOS mentions in doc
It’s really FAT32 we’re worried about now, not MS-DOS.
And doschk is no longer a GNU program.
Problem caught by GCC 12.
* src/tar.c (easprintf): New static function, which never returns
a null pointer. All uses of xasprintf replaced by uses of this
function.
* autogen.sh, autopull.sh, bootstrap-funclib.sh:
New files, copied from gnulib/top.
* bootstrap: Copy from gnulib/top/bootstrap (as opposed
to copying from gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap, as we used to).
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_pull_hook)
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): New functions.
Move commands into these functions as needed.
* src/extract.c (is_directory_link): New arg ST. Caller changed.
(is_directory_link, open_output_file):
Use readlinkat, not fstatat, to determine whether a string
names a symlink. This avoids EOVERFLOW issues.
(extract_dir): Avoid duplicate calls to fstatat when
keep_directory_symlink_option && fstatat_flags == 0
and the file is a symlink to an existing file.
