Hey! Emacs! Yo! This is -*- Text -*- !!!
|
|
|
|
This GNU tar 1.11. Please send bug reports, etc., to
|
|
bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. This is a beta-test release. Please
|
|
try it out. After bug reports are processed for this release, version
|
|
1.12 will be released.
|
|
|
|
GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with
|
|
added features. The manual is currently being written. An old
|
|
manual, surely riddled with errors, is in tar.texinfo. Please don't
|
|
send in bug reports about that manual. In particular, the mechanism
|
|
for doing incremental dumps has been significantly changed.
|
|
|
|
This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which
|
|
must reside in /etc). The mt program is in the GNU cpio distribution.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions for Unix.
|
|
See the file NEWS for information on all that is new in this version
|
|
of tar.

makefile.pc is a makefile for Turbo C 2.0 on MS-DOS.

|
Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT.
|
|
I've gotten conflicting reports about what should be done to solve the
|
|
problems, and we have no way to test it ourselves.
|
|
|
|
If you want to do incremental dumps, use the distributed backup
|
|
scripts. They are what we use at the FSF to do all our backups. Most
|
|
importantly, do not use +incremental (-G) or +after-date (-N) or
|
|
+newer-mtime to do incremental dumps. The only option that works
|
|
correctly for this purpose is +listed-incremental. (When extracting
|
|
incremental dumps, use +incremental (-G).)
|
|
|
|
There is no tar manual in this release. The old manual has too many
|
|
problems to make it usable. A new manual will appear in version 1.12.
