+
+ Run alternative decompression programs if the principal one is
+ not available.
+ 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.
+
+2010-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tests: fix some issues with signals, timestamps, "test" typo
+ * tests/extrac17.at: Add --warning=no-timestamp, to avoid
+ bogus warning due to NFS clock skew.
+ * tests/remfiles01.at: Discard diagnostics that some shells
+ generate about broken pipes.
+ * tests/sigpipe.at: Likewise.
+ * tests/remfiles01.at: Fix typo: "test $EC" was written where
+ "test $EC -ne 0" was intended.
+
+2010-11-01 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Fix extraction of device nodes.
+ * src/extract.c (extract_node): Do not mask out node type.
+ The bug was introduced in commit ea964cce.
+
+2010-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: don't cross struct member boundaries with OLDGNU_MAGIC
+ * 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.
+
+ tests: port to sh variants that squirrel away file descriptors
+ OpenBSD /bin/sh, and some other sh variants, squirrel away file
+ descriptors before closing them. For example, for "cat 3<&-" they
+ first dup file descriptor 3 to a fd that is 10 or greater, then
+ close 3 (because if "cat" had been a builtin command like ":" then
+ they would have wanted to avoid the fork and restore the fd after
+ ":" finished); and they treat ordinary (forking) commands the same
+ as builtin commands. This approach fails after "ulimit -n 10".
+ Work around this deficiency by closing the file descriptors before
+ invoking ulimit. Problem reported by Christian Weisgerber in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-10/msg00041.html>;
+ solution suggested by Jilles Tjoelker in
+ <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/415>.
+
+ * tests/extrac11.at (scarce file descriptors): Close file
+ descriptors before invoking ulimit -n.
+
+2010-10-27 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Transform file names when updating and appendig to archives.
+ This complements 28e91b48.
+
+ * src/common.h (transform_stat_info): New prototype.
+ * src/list.c (transform_stat_info): Remove static qualifier.
+ * src/update.c (update_archive): Call transform_stat_info.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add append03.at
+ * tests/testsuite.at: Include append03.at
+
+2010-10-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tests: port to Solaris diff
+ * tests/extrac13.at: Don't assume that "diff -c" outputs nothing
+ when there are no differences. This is not true on Solaris,
+ where it outputs "No differences encounted".
+
+ tar: fix -x --overwrite bug (no --dereference, ! O_NOFOLLOW)
+ 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.
+
+ tar: don't use "((" in shell scripts
+ * tests/extrac11.at: Replace "((" with "( (" in shell scripts, as
+ "((" is not portable to the Korn shell, and POSIX 1003.1-2008 says
+ that "((" is not portable.
+
+2010-10-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Make sure name matching occurs before name transformation.
+ 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.
+
+2010-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: don't assume stdin is open when testing fd limits
+ * tests/extrac11.at: Redirect stdin from /dev/null, in case
+ the parent 'make' is running with stdin closed.
+
+2010-10-26 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Further fixes in bootstrap.
+ * bootstrap: Restore the default for gnulib_path
+ (symlink_to_dir): Re-apply 67cad07.
+
+2010-10-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ tar: fix bug with -C and extracting directories
+ Problem reported by Denis Excoffier in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-10/msg00034.html>.
+
+ * src/extract.c (extract_dir): Use mkdirat, not mkdir.
+ * tests/extrac16.at: New file, to test for this bug.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it.
+ * tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
+
+ 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.
+
2010-10-25 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
Version 1.24
* tests/extrac05.at: Skip test if creating
sparse file fails.
- Fix eventual memory override and fd exhaustion in create.c
- Both bugs reported by Kamil Dudka.
-
+ Fix eventual memory override and fd exhaustion in create.c Both
+ bugs reported by Kamil Dudka.
* src/create.c (check_exclusion_tags): Do not keep
pointer to a location within tagname: it may change
after xrealloc. Use byte offset instead.
