+ Version 1.29
+
+ Minor fix
+ * src/names.c (new_name): rename to make_file_name. All uses
+ changed.
+
+2016-04-14 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Fix argument handling when running external commands.
+ * src/system.c (xexec): Use sh -c to run the command. This fixed
+ bug introduced by 7b5e80396 (tar 1.27)

+
+ 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.
+ * tests/testsuite.at: Remove iotty.at

+
+ 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.

+
+ 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>

+
+ Minor fix
+
+ 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.

+ names.c
+ * tests/T-dir00.at: Fix typo.

+ tar: fix symlink race and symlink transform bug
+ Problem reported by Tobias Stoeckmann in:

+ * gnulib.modules: Add areadlinkat-with-size.
+ * src/create.c: Include areadlink.h.
+ (dump_file0): Use areadlinkat_with_size, rather than trying to do

+ 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.
+
+ tar: port -d to longer symlinks
+ * src/compare.c (diff_symlink):
+ Don't use alloca on symlink length; it might be too big for

+ Don't assume that readlinkat's return value fits in 'int'.
+ Prefer memcmp to strncmp where either will do.
+
+ tar: port to recent gnulib
+ * gnulib.modules: Remove 'acl' and add 'file-has-acl'.
+
+ tar: pacify GCC 5.1 -Wformat-signedness
+ * lib/wordsplit.c (struct wordsplit_node.flags):

+
+ Reduce memory consumption when handling the -T option.
+ The commit cdb27293 made the -T option more flexible, but
+ incurred a very considerable memory overhead by storing
+ all file names in the argument array. In case of very
+ big file lists this caused tar to run out of memory. This
+ was reported by Christian Wetzel <wetzel@phoenix-pacs.de>
+ on March 14, 2013
+ (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-03/msg00018.html).
+ On the other hand, Michal Žeidl discovered that tar malfunctioned
+ when given empty file lists or lists with the trailing newline
+ missing in the last entry. This was reported by Pavel Raiskup
+ on July 23
+ (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-07/msg00009.html

+ and the uid/gid could in theory be out of range. Leave major and

+ to produce a value exceeding len_max.
+ (xheader_read): Last arg is off_t, not size_t.
+ Caller should diagnose negative arg, as needed.
+ Check that it's in range.

+ Run alternative decompression programs if the principal one is

+ decompression
+ if the principal decompressor cannot be started.

+ (zip_magic): Remove program and option fields.

+
+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

+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 appending to archives.

+ * src/update.c (update_archive): Call transform_stat_info.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add append03.at

+
+ 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 encountered".
+
+ 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

+

+ The commit 9c194c99 altered that order.
+ * src/list.c (transform_stat_info): New function. Split off from

+ (read_and): Call transform_stat_info right before do_something,

+ so that name matching occurs before name transformation.
+ * tests/extrac17.at: New file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac17.at

This patch fixes a race condition in the --atime-preserve=replace
option, which might cause tar to improperly follow a symbolic
link.
-
It also drops the use of the _FIOSATIME ioctl of Solaris 2.x
and later, which loses resolution on time stamps. Modern Solaris
systems support full-resolution time stamps in the kernel, and
it's not worth the hassle of testing this call, useful only in
no-longer-supported Solaris variants.
-
Also, it undoes a change I recently introduced to the --compare
option, which caused it to not follow symbolic links unless the
--dereference option was also used. Quite possibly this change is
a good idea, but the old behavior was documented and the change
should not have been installed casually.
