* Wed Dec 06 2023 jsmithfpv@gmail.com
- GNU tar 1.34:
* Fail when building GNU tar if the platform supports 64-bit
time_t but the build only uses 32-bit time_t.
* Leave the devmajor and devminor fields empty (rather than
zero) for non-special files, as this is more compatible with
traditional tar.
Fixes:
* Fix interaction of --update with --wildcards.
* When extracting archives into an empty directory, do not create
hard links to files outside that directory.
* Handle partial reads from regular files.
* Warn file changed as we read it less often. Formerly, tar
warned if the file's size or ctime changed. However, this
generated a false positive if tar read a file while another
process hard-linked to it, changing its ctime. Now, tar warns
if the file's size, mtime, user ID, group ID, or mode changes.
Although neither heuristic is perfect, the new one should work
better in practice.
* Fix --ignore-failed-read to ignore file-changed read errors
as far as exit status is concerned. You can now suppress
file-changed issues entirely with --ignore-failed-read
- -warning=no-file-changed.
* Fix --remove-files to not remove a file that changed while we
read it.
* Fix --atime-preserve=replace to not fail if there was no need
to replace, either because we did not read the file, or the
atime did not change.
* Fix race when creating a parent directory while another process
is also doing so.
* Fix handling of prefix keywords not followed by "." in pax
headers.
* Fix handling of out-of-range sparse entries in pax headers.
* Fix handling of --transform='s/s/@/2'.
* Fix treatment of options ending in slash in files-from list.
* Fix crash on tar --checkpoint-action exec=\".
* Fix low-memory crash when reading incremental dumps.
* Fix --exclude-vcs-ignores memory allocation misuse.

* Fri Apr 03 2020 dimstar@opensuse.org

not contain any info files, and has not even a pre script. The
- doc subpackage already has the correct deps.

tar-1.31-racy_compress_tests.patch that are no longer needed
(applied usptream)
* Fri Mar 15 2019 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- Remove libattr-devel from buildrequires, tar no longer uses
it but finds xattr functions in libc.
* Thu Feb 14 2019 kstreitova@suse.com
- update to version 1.31
* Fix heap-buffer-overrun with --one-top-level, bug introduced
with the addition of that option in 1.28
* Support for zstd compression
* New option '--zstd' instructs tar to use zstd as compression
program. When listing, extractng and comparing, zstd compressed
archives are recognized automatically. When '-a' option is in
effect, zstd compression is selected if the destination archive
name ends in '.zst' or '.tzst'.
* The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the
command line. Names of members to extract can be specified along
with the "-K NAME" option. In this case, tar will extract NAME
and those of named members that appear in the archive after it,
which is consistent with the semantics of the option. Previous
versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
appeared before it, and everything after it.
* Fix CVE-2018-20482 - When creating archives with the --sparse
option, previous versions of tar would loop endlessly if a
sparse file had been truncated while being archived.

which complies with UNIX98
* The --checkpoint option takes an optional argument specifying
the number of records between the two successive checkpoints.
* The --totals option can be used with any tar operation
* Any number of -T (--files-from) options may be used in the
command line.
* List files containing null-separated file names are detected
and processed automatically.
* New option --no-unquote disables the unquoting of input file
names.
* New option --test-label tests the archive volume label.
* New option --show-stored-names.
* New option --to-command pipes the contents of archive members
to the specified command.
* New option --atime-preserve=system
* New option --delay-directory-restore
* New option --restrict prohibits use of some potentially harmful
tar options.
* New options --quoting-style and --quote-chars control the way
tar quotes member names on output.
* Better support for full-resolution time stamps.
Incompatible changes:
* tar no longer uses globbing by default
- remove unused variable [#223847]

- Update to 1.15.1 which fixes a bug introduced in 1.15 which caused
tar to refuse to extract files from standard input.
* Tue Dec 21 2004 mmj@suse.de
- Update to tar-1.15 including:
- Features:
o Compressed archives are recognised automatically, it is no
longer necessary to specify -Z, -z, or -j options to read
them. Thus, you can now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.
o When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
from being purged. With the previous versions of tar it was
dangerous to create incremental dumps with --one-file-system
option, since they would recursively remove mount points when
restoring from the back up. This change fixes the bug.
o Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
the GNU convention.
o Skipping archive members is sped up if the archive media supports
seeks.
o Restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a)
option, or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.
o `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
the file names had their prefixes stripped off.
o New option --exclude-caches instructs tar to exclude cache
directories automatically on archive creation. Cache directories
are those containing a standardized tag file, as specified at:
http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html
o New configure option --with-rmt allows to specify full path
name to the `rmt' utility. This supercedes DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND
variable introduced in version 1.14
o New configure variable DEFAULT_RMT_DIR allows to specify the
directory where to install `rmt' utility. This is necessary
since modifying --libexecdir as was suggested for version 1.14
produced a side effect: it also modified installation prefix
for backup scripts (if --enable-backup-scripts was given).
- Bugfixes:
o Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
o Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option.
o GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than
100 characters. Do not allow multivolume archives to begin
with such filenames.
o If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
extracted copy in such cases.
o Restore script was passing improper argument to tar --listed
option (which didn't affect the functionality, but was
logically incorrect).
o Fixed verification of created archives.
o Fixed unquoting of file names containing backslash escapes (previous
versions failed to recognize \a and \v).
o When attempting to delete a non-existing member from the
archive, previous versions of tar used to overwrite last
archive block with zeroes.

- draht@suse.de: package rsh is needed for build of tar(1) to
enable rsh remote command execution.
two successive execl() calls to /usr/bin/rsh with different
args/remote commands do not make sense since the first execl() is
successful if /usr/bin/rsh exists. Check for existence of /etc/rmt
on the remote side and execute it, else exec /sbin/rmt . (#12605)
