Fix typo

2017-05-29  Pavel Raiskup  <praiskup@redhat.com>

Fix non-deterministic archive type detection

Due to analysis of partly uninitialized read-ahead buffer
	(short_read call), we sometimes mistakenly classified very small
	compressed archives as non-compressed; which in turn caused
	extraction failure.

* src/buffer.c (check_compressed_archive): Don't assume that
	archives smaller than BLOCKSIZE could be non-compressed, as tar
	header always has at least one block.

2017-05-29  Jonas Julino  <ml-julino@1und1.de>
	    Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

Fix handling of directories removed during incremental tar run

	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new tests.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.

2017-05-29  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

Fix a bug in multi-volume archive creation.

When creating multivolume archives, the bufmap code in buffer.c
	implicitly assumed that the members are stored in the archive
	contiguously, ignoring the member (and eventual extended) headers
	between them.  This worked until the member header happened to be
	at the very beginning of the volume, in which case its length was
	included in the calculation of the stored size and size left to
	store.	Due to this, the GNUFileParts extended header contained
	invalid GNU.volume.offset value, and the resulting archive failed
	to extract properly.

This patch also eliminates improper listing of file part headers
	as regular files, when creating multivolume posix archives
	with -v.

* src/buffer.c (bufmap): New member nblocks.  Counts number
	of blocks
	of file data written since reset.
	(bufmap_reset): Reset nblocks to 0.
	(_flush_write): Update nblocks.  When computing offset difference
	for
	bufmap_reset, count only data blocks, not headers.
	(close_archive): Flush archive until all blocks are written.
	(add_chunk_header): Use simple_finish_header instead of
	finish_header
	to avoid listing chunk header as regular file in verbose mode.
	* tests/multiv10.at: New test case.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Add new test.

2017-04-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

--numeric-owner now affects private headers too

Problem reported by Daniel Peebles in:
	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2017-04/msg00004.html
	* NEWS: Document this.
	* src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link): If --numeric-owner,
	leave the user and group empty in a private header.  Cache the
	names for 0.

2017-02-28  Pavel Raiskup  <praiskup@redhat.com>

Test and document --keep-directory-symlink

* doc/tar.1: Document the option.
	* tests/extrac20.at: New testcase.

Fix incompatibility with PGI 16.10

* src/tar.c (options): Fix incompatibility with the C standard,
	which says that arguments to macro calls cannot contain #

	Change all uses: use name_more_files() instead.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test.
	* tests/add-file.at: New testcase.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Add new test.

2016-11-11  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

2016-11-11  Pavel Raiskup  <praiskup@redhat.com>

sparse: fix pax extraction for unicode filenames

Make sure that 'GNU.sparse.name' header has higher priority than
	(for sparse-purposes artificially modified) 'path' pax header.

Historically, the 'GNU.sparse.name' header comes before 'path';
	this caused that modified 'path' header won and that is not what
	we want in sparse "capable" tar implementation.

* src/tar.h (tar_stat_info): New argument sparse_name_done.
	* src/xheader.c (raw_path_decoder): Move here the unconditional
	code from path_decoder.
	(path_decoder): Apply raw_path_decoder only if sparse_path_decoder
	was not yet called.
	(sparse_path_decoder): New wrapper around raw_path_decoder.
	* tests/sparse07.at: New testcase.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Mention new testcase.

2016-11-10  Ian McLeod	<imcleod@redhat.com>

Bugfix - fix xattr exclude/include for archive create

This makes archive create behavior consistent with the
	documentation.	Without this change xattr include/exclude options
	are accepted when creating an archive but are silently ignored.

* src/xattrs.c (xattrs_xattrs_get): Apply exclude/include mask
	when fetching extended attributes
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test case.
	* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.

2016-10-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@Penguin.CS.UCLA.EDU>

	bug introduced by 7b5e80396 (tar 1.27)
	* doc/tar.texi: Fix checkpoint examples: (1) $TAR_FILENAME
	is not available when creating archive and (2) --checkpoint
	can't be used as abbreviation of --checkpoint-action

2016-04-06  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

Remove iotty test

The auxiliary utility ttyemu proved to be unreliable.
	Given existing
	differences between pty implementations and termios ioctls
	on various
	platforms, writing it in a portable way requires effort
	disproportional
	to its actual purpose.

* configure.ac: Remove check for grantpt
	* gnulib.modules: Remove posix_openpt, ptsname, and unlockpt
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Remove iotty.at
	(check_PROGRAMS): Remove ttyemu.

xattrs: fix build on Darwin

Be careful to define HAVE_XATTRS when not all needed xattr-related
	functions are properly defined either in libc or libattr.

Reported independently by Denis Excoffier and Dominyk Tille.

* acinclude.m4 (TAR_HEADERS_ATTR_XATTR_H): Check for each xattr
	function separately.  Don't AC_CHECK_LIB (LIBS is filled by
	AC_SEARCH_LIBS when necessary).
	* src/Makefile.am: The LDADD -lattr was redundant.

2016-03-24  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

Update THANKS file

2016-03-24  Jeremy Bobbio  <lunar@debian.org>

New option --clamp-mtime

The new `--clamp-mtime` option will change the behavior of
	`--mtime` to only
	use the time specified if the file mtime is newer than the
	given time.
	The `--clamp-mtime` option can only be used together with
	`--mtime`.

Typical use case is to make builds reproducible: to loose less
	information, it's better to keep the original date of an archive,
	except for
	files modified during the build process. In that case, using
	a reference
	(and thus reproducible) timestamps for the latter is good
	enough. See
	<https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds> for more information.

Patch submitted by Jeremy Bobbio and
	Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>

	set_mtime_option.
	* src/tar.c (options,parse_opt): New option --clamp-mtime

Fix the testsuite

* tests/sparse06.at: Don't use timeout: depending on the

	mounted, current LA and lots of other factors, creation of

	* src/unlink.c (flush_deferred_unlinks): OpenSolaris sets EEXIST

Minor fix

2015-12-11  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org>

Fix handling of filename-selection options.

Filename-selection options are --wildcards, --recursive, etc. (see
	names.c for a complete list).  These options are
	position-sensitive,
	i.e. each such option affects all filenames and filename-selection
	options that appear after it until eventually cancelled by a
	corresponding counterpart option.

These options can appear in "file-from" file lists, which
	means that
	they cannot be handled right away, but instead should be put on
	the "name_elt" list and processed sequentionally, as file name
	arguments
	are.

* src/common.h (warn_regex_usage): Remove.
	(name_add_name): Change signature.
	(name_add_dir, name_add_file): Remove prototypes.
	* src/names.c (name_add_option, name_add_dir)
	(name_add_file): Static functions.
	(names_options, is_file_selection_option, names_parse_opt):
	Static functions.
	(names_argp_children): New variable.
	(NELT_NAME, NELT_CHDIR)
	(NELT_FILE, NELT_NOOP): Redefine as enum nelt_type.
	(NELT_FMASK): Remove.
	(NELT_OPTION): New constant.
	(name_elt) <type>: Change type.
	<v.opt>: New member.
	(name_elt_alloc_matflags): Remove.
	(name_add_name): Take one argument.
	(name_add_option): New static function.
	(name_add_file): Take one argument.
	(read_next_name): Use filename_terminator and
	verbatim_files_from_option to initialize file.term and
	file.verbatim.

tar: fix symlink race and symlink transform bug

Problem reported by Tobias Stoeckmann in:
	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-07/msg00004.html
	* gnulib.modules: Add areadlinkat-with-size.
	* src/create.c: Include areadlink.h.
	(dump_file0): Use areadlinkat_with_size, rather than trying to do
	it by hand, incorrectly.  This also avoids assumption that
	the symlink contents fit on the stack.	Also, use the transformed
	link name, not the original link name, when deciding whether the
	name is long enough to require writing a long link.

2015-07-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

tar: port -d to longer symlinks

* src/compare.c (diff_symlink):
	Don't use alloca on symlink length; it might be too big for
	the stack.
	Don't assume that readlinkat's return value fits in 'int'.
	Prefer memcmp to strncmp where either will do.

Improve compression format recognition

Some comressed archives can pass the checksum test, which

	a magic string).
