29 * configure.in: Check for the inline keyword.
31 1997-04-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

40 * BI-PATCHES: Patches for Bison 1.25.
41 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Adjusted.
43 * configure.in (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Call deleted. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
44 takes care of this already.
46 1997-04-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
50 * configure.in: Use gethostent instead of gethostbyname while
51 checking for -lnsl. It seems SINIX systems require this.
52 Reported by Bruno Haible.
54 1997-04-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
56 * acinclude.m4: New fp_WITH_INCLUDED_MALLOC macro.

58 Reported by Bruno Haible.
60 1997-04-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
64 * acinclude.m4 (cl_FUNC_GMALLOC): New macro, yet still unused, as
65 it requires config.guess. I have to think more about this.
66 Reported by Bruno Haible.
68 1997-04-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
70 * AC-PATCHES: Patches for Autoconf 2.12.

79 1997-04-12 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
81 * configure.in: Add fnmatch.o to LIBOBJS if AC_FUNC_FNMATCH
82 says no working copy was found. This is not done automatically.
83 Reported by Bruno Haible, Bryant Fujimoto, John David Anglin,
84 Kaveh R. Ghazi, Laurent Caillat-Vallet, Sakai Kiyotaka and
87 1997-04-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
89 * configure.in: Much simplify the -lsocket and -lnsl tests.
90 Reported by Larry Schwimmer.
92 1997-04-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
96 * configure.in: Do not check for gettimeofday anymore.
98 * configure.in: Do not anymore blindly add -lnsl if gethostname
99 is found, nor -lsocket if setsockopt is found. Instead, for
100 resolving setsockopt, try none, -lsocket, and -lsocket -lnsl,
101 in that order. For resoving gethostbyname, try none, than -lnsl.
102 Reported by Ariel Faigon, Heiko Schlichting, Jean-Philippe
103 Martin-Flatin, John J. Szetela, John R. Vanderpool, Kaveh
104 R. Ghazi, Larry Schwimmer, Marcus Daniels, Mark Bynum and

117 1997-03-26 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
119 * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add it.
121 1997-03-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
123 * configure.in: Require Autoconf 2.12.
125 1997-02-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
127 * configure.in: Use AM_CONFIG_HEADER and AM_GNU_GETTEXT instead
128 of AC_CONFIG_HEADER and ud_GNU_GETTEXT. Use AC_FUNC_FNMATCH
129 instead of AM_FUNC_FNMATCH. Do not take care anymore of stamp-h
130 in AC_OUTPUT, leave it to Automake.
131 * acinclude.m4: Replaced whole, from elsewhere.
132 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Leave README-alpha to Automake.
134 1997-02-12 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

158 * configure.in: Replace a missing dirname.
160 1996-10-07 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

163 AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE implies them.
165 1996-09-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
167 * configure.in: Do not check anymore for regex.
169 1996-09-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

275 * configure.in: Test for lchown.
277 1995-12-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
279 * configure.in: Prefer avoiding union wait, and use it only if
280 using int fails. This turns around the previous test, as directly
281 checking for union wait is seemingly seeking for trouble.
282 Reported by Alan Bawden, Chris Arthur, Coranth Gryphon,
283 Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin, Robert Bernstein and Tarang Kumar
286 * configure.in: Check for strerror, so lib/error.c will not try to
287 define sys_errlist in the case strerror is already provided.
288 Reported by Coranth Gryphon, Chris Arthur, David J. MacKenzie,
289 Erich Stefan Boleyn, Greg Black, Jason R. Mastaler, Michael
290 Innis Bushnell, Robert Bernstein, Santiago Vila Doncel, Skip
291 Montanaro and Thomas Krebs.

302 Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
304 * configure.in: While checking for remote tape header files, only
305 include <sgtty.h> if it was found to exist.
307 * configure.in: Prefer #if to #ifdef while checking for open3.
309 1995-11-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
311 * configure.in: Check for net/errno.h and sys/inet.h, trying to

316 1995-11-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
318 * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_STPCPY for the time being. I do not
319 understand yet why this is mandatory: it should be automatic
320 from AC_CHECK_FUNCS(stpcpy) in aclocal.m4, through autoheader.
322 * configure.in: Use fp_FUNC_FNMATCH, to get around non-working
323 versions on SCO Unix 3.2v4.2, and Solaris.
324 Reported by Chad Hurwitz, Dennis Pixton, Per Foreby, Richard
325 Westerik, Robert Weiner and Tom Tromey.
327 1995-10-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

339 * Makefile.in (default): Define to all.
341 1995-06-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
343 * configure.in: For mknod, also include <sys/types.h> prior to
344 <sys/stat.h>, as Ultrix needs this.
345 Reported by Bruce Jerrick, Bryant Fujimoto, Conrad Hughes, Erich
346 Stefan Boleyn, Jason R. Mastaler, Joshua R. Poulson, Jurgen Botz,
347 Serge Granik, Simon Wright, Ulrich Drepper and Vince Del Vecchio.
349 * configure.in: Replace execlp as needed (for Minix, mainly).
351 * configure.in: Force compilation of lib/open3.c if required.
352 Clean out old NO_OPEN3 code.
354 1995-06-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

367 Reported by Alan Modra, Ray Dassen and Ulrich Drepper.
369 * aclocal.m4: Test for re_rx_search instead of rx_compile, the
370 latter not being exported unless RX_WANT_RX_DEFS is defined.
371 Reported by Alan Modra.
373 1995-06-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
375 * Makefile.in (dist): Do not hide copying rule.
377 * configure.in: Adjustments to NLS, so .sed scripts may now all
380 1995-06-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
382 * Makefile.in (pot): New goal, triggering po/tar.pot.
384 1995-06-07 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
386 * configure.in: Substitute POTFILES by contents of po/POTFILES.
388 * configure.in: More adjustments for GNU gettext 0.6.

487 1994-11-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
489 * configure.in: Check for const only after having found possible
490 ANSIfying compiler flags, this is of no use to check it before.
492 1994-11-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
494 * {,*/}Makefile.in: Clean up, following those of GNU m4. I will
495 not detail all the changes here.
496 * configure.in: Likewise.
497 * acconfig.h: Document PRODUCT and VERSION.
499 1994-10-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

502 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
504 1994-09-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
506 * Makefile.in: Cleanup... Use subshells for all cd's.
507 (MDEFINES): Do not use $(INSTALL...), because ./install-sh will

521 1994-09-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

526 1994-09-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
528 * configure.in: Delete AC_OS_XENIX, now within AC_HEADER_DIRENT.
530 1994-09-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
532 * configure.in (PROGS): Warn if $DEFAULT_ARCHIVE was specified,
533 while not being found on the current system.
534 Reported by Robert Bernstein.

548 * configure.in: Replace AC_SYS_REMOTE_TAPE by its definition,
549 distillating it around. It is going out of Autoconf.

551 now corrected in Autoconf.
553 1994-08-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
555 * configure.in: Do not define RTAPELIB nor HAVE_RTAPELIB.
557 1994-08-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
559 Little cleanup in installation:
560 * configure.in: Do not check for wait3, this function is not used.
561 * Makefile.in: Remove useless RSH substitutions.
563 * configure.in: Use `-g -O' instead of `-g' as CFLAGS default
564 value, when GNU C is being used. Delay testing for presets.
565 Reported by Chris Arthur.
567 1994-08-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
571 * Makefile.in (BACKLOG, dist, shar): Correct for when a different
574 * configure.in: Check for union wait. Adapted from make 3.71.
576 * configure.in: Replace both mkdir and rmdir, not just mkdir,
577 because NS32016 running SysVr2.2 has mkdir and lacks rmdir.
578 Reported by Greg Black.
580 * configure.in: Do not try anymore to discover the archive device
581 by looking around for various device names. If the installer does
582 not override it, nicely use `-' as a convenient default.
583 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
585 1994-08-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
587 * configure.in: Correct a checking message.

592 * configure.in: Replace AC_PROG_RSH with its expansion. Correct
593 the no/true confusion in tests. Do not substitute RSH anymore in
594 src/Makefile, instead define REMOTE_SHELL in config.h. Replace
595 NO_REMOTE by HAVE_RTAPELIB, with inverted meaning. Substitute
596 RTAPELIB by $Urtapelib.o instead of rtapelib.o.
597 * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_RTAPELIB and REMOTE_SHELL.
598 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
600 * configure.in: Checking for remote shell, use the RSH environment
601 variable if set. This is done only when not already in the cache.
602 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
604 * configure.in: Include <sys/types.h> when testing <utime.h>.
605 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
607 * configure.in: Also create doc/Makefile.

610 1994-08-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
612 * configure.in: Undo the `test -b' patch of 1994-08-05. Ultrix
613 4.2 test does not know about -b. Grrr...
614 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
616 * configure.in: Check for <sys/gentape.h>, HAVE_SYS_GENTAPE_H
617 is tested in rmt.c. Check for <sys/tape.h>, to avoid playing
618 with M_UNIX anymore in rmt.c.
619 Reported by Daniel R. Guilderson and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
621 * configure.in: Use proper function names in AC_CHECK_LIB's.
622 Reported by Alexander Dupuy and Kurt Jaeger.
624 * configure.in: Use $LIBOBJS, not LIBOJBS, while adding to it.
625 Reported by Demizu Noritoshi and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
627 1994-08-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
631 1994-08-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
633 * configure.in: Decide MTIO_CHECK_FIELD by grepping <sys/mtio.h>.
634 * acconfig.h: Document it.
635 Reported by Ben A. Mesander.
637 * Makefile.in: Substitute CC, INSTALL, INSTALL_PROGRAM,
638 INSTALL_DATA, RSH, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS, prefix, exec_prefix,
639 binprefix, bindir and libexecdir.
640 (MDEFINES): New, using the previous substitutions.
641 (all, install, uninstall): Use it.
642 Reported by Bruno Haible.
644 1994-08-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
646 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>.
648 1994-08-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
650 * configure.in: For <utime.h>, also ensure struct utimbuf is
651 defined by the header file before defining HAVE_UTIME_H. Some
652 systems will not define the structure without _POSIX_SOURCE.
653 * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_UTIME_H.
654 Reported by James W. McKelvey and Robert E. Brown.
656 * configure.in: Instead of replacing strstr, check for it, so
657 HAVE_STRSTR gets defined, then replace it explicitely if required.
659 1994-08-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
661 * configure.in: Updated for Autoconf 2.0.
663 1994-08-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
665 * configure.in: Replace memset, mkdir (and rmdir), rename, strstr,
666 ftruncate, when not found.
667 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi (for memset and strstr).
668 Reported by Bruno Haible (for mkdir and rename).
670 1994-08-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
672 * configure.in: Remove padding test.
673 * acconfig.h: Remove PADDING_IN_TAR_HEADER.
674 Reported by Bruno Haible.
676 * configure.in: While defining DEFAULT_ARCHIVE, check for a block
677 device, instead of mere existence. But is `test -b' portable?
678 Test for /dev/fd0, instead of for /dev/fd. Put rct tests last.
679 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
681 * configure.in: Define uid_t and gid_t if necessary.
682 Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.
684 * Makefile.in (distclean-local): Delete config.cache.
685 Reported by Thomas Koenig.
687 * configure.in: Change malloc_dbg to dmalloc, mutatis mutandi.
688 * acconfig.h: According changes.
690 * configure.in: Test for broken stat macros, and for mkfifo.
692 * configure.in: Check for ST_BLKSIZE and ST_BLOCKS.
694 1994-08-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
698 * Makefile.in (dist, shar): Distribute the scripts directory.
700 1994-08-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
702 * configure.in: Check for <memory.h>.
704 1994-07-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
706 * configure.in: When --with-malloc-dbg, define WITH_MALLOC_DBG and
707 add -lmalloc_dbg to LIBS.
708 * acconfig.h: Document WITH_MALLOC_DBG.
710 * configure.in: Try deciding DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER from
711 the selected DEFAULT_ARCHIVE.
712 * acconfig.h: Document DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER.
713 Reported by Danny R. Johnston.
715 1994-07-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
717 * aclocal.m4: Adapt AC_PROTOTYPES to caching.
719 * Using configure as generated by a more recent Autoconf solves a
720 problem of rename being rejected on HP-UX in ANSI mode, because of
721 a conflicting prototype from <stdio.h>. In this context, Autoconf
722 now uses ctype.c instead for defining __stub macros.
723 Reported by Alan Modra, Burkhard Plache, Edward Welbourne,
724 Henrik Bakman, Jeffrey Goldberg, Jim Farrell, Kimmy Posey,
725 Michael Maass, Mike Nolan, Richard Lloyd, Robert McGraw,
726 Robert W. Kim, Stefan Skoglund, Tarang Kumar Patel, Tilman
727 Schmidt, Tim Ramsey, Van Snyder and W. Phillip Moore.
729 1994-07-26 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
731 * configure.in: Check for <fcntl.h>. Do not define BSD42, do
732 not look anymore if /vmunix, /sdmach or /../../mach exist.
733 * acconfig.h: Remove BSD42.
735 1994-07-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
737 * configure.in: Add gmalloc.o to LIBOBJS, instead of AC_SUBST'ing
738 MALLOC. Check for valloc only if gmalloc.o is not being selected.
739 valloc was possibly defined both in "port.h" and GNU malloc.
740 * acconfig.h: Add a description for HAVE_VALLOC.
741 J.T. Conklin, Nelson H.F. Beebe and Tilman Schmidt.
743 1994-07-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
745 * configure.in: Use provided fnmatch only as a replacement.
747 * configure.in: Check for <sys/io/trioctl.h>, needed for
748 defining _IOW and _IOR on the Tektronix XD88.
749 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
751 1994-07-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
753 * Makefile.in (BACKLOG): New goal, for summarizing the
754 maintainance backlog. Distribute file BACKLOG.
756 1994-07-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
758 * regex.c, regex.h: Use newer versions. This solves a few
759 problems reported by users.
760 Reported by Chris Hopps and John David Anglin.
762 1994-07-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
764 * configure.in: Check for <utime.h>.
766 1994-07-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
768 * configure.in: Substitute DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING
769 from the environment. Check for /dev/tape first while trying to
770 decide the default archive, because it is often symlinked right.
771 * acconfig.h: Explain DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING.
773 * configure.in: Use AC_SET_MAKE.
774 * Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@.
775 Reported by Jim Meyering.
777 * configure.in: Integrate the check, previously in testpad.c,
778 about a needed padding field in the tar header struct.
779 * acconfig.h: Explain PADDING_IN_TAR_HEADER.
781 1994-07-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
783 * configure.in: Check for -linet, this library is required on
784 a few systems for gettimeofday() or getservbyname(). Also, on ISC
785 4.0, this avoids a broken version of rename().
786 Reported by Dean Gaudet, Goeran Uddeborg, Mike Rogers and
789 * configure.in: Ensure -lsocket is tested after -lnsl. This is
790 required in particular for SINIX-Z, an SVR4.0 system.
791 Reported by Manfred Weichel and Mark Frost.
793 * configure.in: All tests reordered for clarity.
795 1994-07-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
797 * configure.in: Use AC_TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, test for <sys/time.h>.
798 This should solve the problem of multiple inclusions of <time.h>.
799 Also, also check for <sys/timeb.h>, for getdate.y tests this.
800 Reported by Jim Meyering, John Rouillard, Karl Berry and Rick
803 1994-06-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
805 * configure.in: AC_CONST was already added since 1.11.2, but no
806 ChangeLog entry for it, so here is one, with list of reporters.
807 * AIX 3.2 RS/6000 IBM's compiler was unable to compile regex.c,
808 this might be solved already through improved Autoconf tests.
810 Reported by Alexey Vovenko, Ben A. Mesander, Bryant
811 Fujimoto, Christian. T. Dum, Christopher Vickery, Dan Bloch,

819 R. Scott Butler, Rob Parry, Ron Guilmette, Scott Grosch,
820 Sherwood and Stephen Saroff.
822 * Makefile.in: Completely replaced, lurking at the previous one.
823 At the same time, solve a few minor problems reported by users.
824 The most frequently reported ones pertained to a trailing \ in a
825 comment, and rmt installing in /etc.
826 Reported by Dean Gaudet, Gerben Wierda, James W. McKelvey,
827 John L. Chmielewski, Karl Berry, Mike Rogers, Ralf Suckow and
830 * configure.in: Also process lib/Makefile.in and src/Makefile.in.
831 Substitute CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and YFLAGS from the environment.
832 Use AC_CHECKING instead of using echo explicitely.
833 Use AC_HEADER_CHECK(unistd.h) instead of obsolete AC_UNISTD_H.
835 * configure.in: Generate a configuration header file. This not
836 only puts less clutter in make output, but also goes around some
837 compilers' limits about the number of allowed -D options.
838 Reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe.
840 * acconfig.h: New file.
842 * Split distribution into a few subdirectories, for easing
843 maintainance. So far: src, lib, scripts, msdos which are to be
844 distributed; then rmail, texinfo, ARCH and misc to be kept here.
845 * scripts/ChangeLog: Initialized by moving entries related to
846 scripts out of this ChangeLog.
848 * Taking over maintenance duties.

951 1995-11-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
953 * Makefile.in: Use -I$(srcdir) with makeinfo, and -otmp-tar.info
954 so tar.info in build directory does not shadow the real one.
955 (tar.dvi): Depend on version.texi. Add $(srcdir) to TEXINPUTS so
956 texinfo.tex is found, as texi2dvi gets no clue from the file name.

1369 $(srcdir), in case it was not already found and replaced there.

1373 and cat-id-tbl.c into the distribution.
1374 (stamp-cat-id): Rewrite rule so it replaces files in $(srcdir),
1375 remove a useless rm and cat.
1377 * intl/cat-compat.c, int/gettext.h, intl/po-to-tbl.sed,

1384 1995-06-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1386 * Makefile.in (dist): Comment out tupdate action for now, it
1387 needs more tweeking before being distributed active.
1389 * intl/Makefile.in (dist), Makefile.in (dist): Correct

1391 clutter while doing the work.
1393 * intl/Makefile.in: Use top_srcdir for referring to $(PACKAGE).pot.
1395 * Makefile.in (.po.gmo): Get around what seems to be an msgfmt
1396 bug, which adds .mo even to FILE in `-o FILE'.

1510 1994-09-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1512 * Makefile.in: Cleanup...
1514 (Makefile): Have ./config.status create this Makefile only.
1516 1994-06-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1518 * Prerelease 1.11.5.
1520 * ChangeLog: Initialized by moving entries related to
1521 scripts out of this ChangeLog.
1523 1993-11-24 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1525 * dump-remind: Send mail notification to the original recipients
1526 that the dump has been continued when that is the case.
1528 1993-03-31 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1530 * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Put logfile in `log' subdirectory.
1532 1993-03-28 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1534 * dump-remind (volno): Don't increment by one.
1536 1993-03-25 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1538 * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use `--block-size', not just
1539 `--block', which is now ambiguous.
1541 1993-03-24 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1543 * backup-specs (TAR): New variable.
1545 * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Get path of GNU tar from `TAR'
1546 variable, don't hardcode it.
1548 1993-03-20 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1550 * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): put backslashes in front of nested
1553 * level-0, level-1 (BACKUP_DIRS): Don't put in quotes.
1554 (LOGFILE): Use sed to construct name, not awk.
1556 * dump-remind (recipients): Replaced inefficient pipeline with a
1557 single, simple sed script.
1558 (volno): Deal with the possibility that VOLNO_FILE may not be
1561 1993-03-19 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1563 * backup-specs (VOLNO_FILE): Removed abusive comment by Noah.
1565 1993-03-18 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1567 * Makefile.in (AUX): Include `dump-remind' in distribution.
1569 * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): New variable.
1570 level-0, level-1: Use it instead of external `dont_touch' file.
1572 * level-0, level-1: Put most of the script in () and pipe
1573 everything from the subshell through tee -a $LOGFILE. Since you
1574 really want most of the output to go to the logfile anyway, and
1575 since all those pipelines were preventing one from getting the
1576 exit status of most commands, this seems like the right idea.
1578 * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Use YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format
1579 for log file name, since that makes the file names sortable in a
1580 coherent way. Suffix should always be `level-n' where n is the
1581 dump level. level-0 script was just using `-full' instead.
1583 * level-0, level-1 (DUMP_LEVEL): New variable. Set to `0' or `1'
1584 in each script as appropriate.
1586 * level-0, level-1 (HOST): Renamed to `localhost' for clarity.
1587 (host): renamed to `remotehost' for clarity.
1589 * level-0, level-1 (startdate): New variable. Use it in Subject
1590 line of mailed report.
1592 * level-0, level-1: Fixed all instances where sed is called with a
1593 script on the command line to use `-e' option.
1595 * level-0, level-1: Don't try to call logfile.sed to filter
1596 LOGFILE. It's not distributed with tar and was never really used
1599 * level-0, level-1: Put quotes around most variable names (barring
1600 those that are known to intentionally contain text that should be
1601 expanded into multiple words, like `TAR_PART1').
1603 * level-0, level-1: Got rid of annoying trailing backslashes in awk
1604 scripts. They were gratuitous. Made them a little more readable
1605 by adding some whitespace.
1607 1992-10-21 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1609 * level-0, level-1: put curly braces around variables for clarity.
1611 * backup-specs (DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT): define it (but commented out
1612 so that distributed dump scripts won't use it by default).
1613 level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): use --info-script if
1614 DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT is defined.
1615 dump-remind: new file (intended as an example).
1617 1992-10-15 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1619 * level-0, level-1: remove $LOGFILE.tmp files before exiting.
1621 1992-09-24 Michael I Bushnell <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1623 * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): remove --atime-preserve
1624 because of a total screw.
1626 1992-09-10 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1628 * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): put --atime-preserve inside quotes.
1630 1992-09-09 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1632 * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use --atime-preserve.
1634 1992-07-10 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1636 * level-0, level-1: Avoid silly Sun awk lossage.
1638 1992-04-30 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1640 * level-1: Added `$' before VOLNO_FILE in definition of TAR_PART1.
1641 Added line to remove $VOLNO_FILE from any previous dump before
1644 * level-0, level-1: Change long options to use `--' instead of `+'
1645 (support for `+' will go away soon)
1647 1991-10-17 Michael I Bushnell <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1649 * level-0: Repair damage from previous mod: stdin to rsh must
1650 be the terminal or tar's questions lose.
1652 1991-08-31 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1654 * level-0: Fixed several syntax errors associated with
1655 stdout/stderr redirection.
1656 Made sure remote host executes commands from sh where redirection
1657 is necessary, since root's shell might be csh in some places and
1658 the redirect syntax differs.
1660 1991-07-01 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1662 * Fix a misplaced quote in level-0 and change some >& into

1795 main_command_option of this enum type, to replace command_mode,
1796 which was an int, everywhere.
1797 * tar.c (decode_options): Initialise main_command_option.
1798 (set_main_command_option): New function to replace
1799 SET_COMMAND_MODE. Diagnostic ambiguous command as soon as seen.
1800 However, be forgiving if command has merely been repeated.
1802 * buffer.c, tar.c, common.h: Have info_script_option be at the
1803 same time a flag and the option value, no need for a separate
1804 info_script variable. Rename rsh_command to rsh_command_option,
1805 tape_length to tape_length_option, compress_program to
1806 use_compress_program_option, volno_file to volno_file_option.
1807 * tar.c (set_use_compress_program_option): New function.
1809 * buffer.c, names.c, tar.c, common.h: Have files_from_option
1810 be at the same time a flag and the option value, no need for
1811 a separate namefile_name variable.
1813 * buffer.c, create.c, tar.c, commun.h: Rename volume_label to
1814 volume_label_option.
1816 * incremen.c, tar.c, common.h: Rename gnu_dumpfile to
1817 listed_incremental_option. Let it unitialised for just incremental.
1818 * create.c (create_archive): No need to check both
1819 incremental_option and listed_incremental_option, as the later
1820 implies the former already.
1822 * create.c, tar.c, common.h: Rename preset_owner to owner_option,
1823 preset_group to group_option and preset_mode to mode_option.
1825 * create.c, incremen.c, list.c, tar.c, commun.h: Have
1826 after_date_option be a Boolean instead of a three-valued flag.
1827 Rename threshold_time to newer_mdate_option, which may be looked
1828 at without checking after_date_option first, as threshold_time
1829 before. Make newer_cdate_option an alias for newer_mdate_option.
1831 1997-04-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1833 * buffer.c: Use int after extern to declare time_to_start_writing.
1834 * extract.c: Use int after static to declare we_are_root.
1835 Reported by Ariel Faigon.
1837 1997-04-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1839 * list.c (read_and): Use the proper enum constants in switch,
1840 instead of oldish and wrong numbers.
1841 Reported by Martin Mares.
1843 1997-04-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1845 * arith.c [SUPERDIGIT] (zerop_tarlong, lessp_tarlong,
1846 clear_tarlong, add_to_tarlong, add_to_tarlong, mult_tarlong,
1847 print_tarlong): Rename all functions by adding a _helper suffix.
1848 * arith.h [SUPERDIGIT]: Replace function prototypes by macros,
1849 each calling the function with _helper appended, and extracting
1850 pointers out of the tarlong structures.
1851 Reported by Andrew A. Ivanov and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
1853 * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress): Copy all records coming out
1854 of the compressor, not only the last one.
1855 Reported by Alois Steindl, Mark Bynum, Martin Mares, Nelson
1856 H. F. Beebe, Scott J. Kramer and Torkel Hasle.
1858 1997-03-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1860 * create.c (dump_file): Ignore unreadable directories when
1861 --ignore-failed-read.
1862 Reported by Ralph Schleicher.
1864 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Chain the last partial zero block
1865 with the preceding data, do not try sparing it. This correction
1866 is approximative, as the whole thing should be rethought.
1867 Reported by Andreas Degert.
1869 1997-03-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1871 * All: Rename head to current_header, hstat to current_stat, and
1872 header_format to current_format.
1873 * update.c (update_archive): Rename nstat to stat_data.
1874 * create.c: Do not extern hstat, as common.h does it.
1875 (deal_with_sparse): Get rid of amidst_data, since numbytes is
1876 already usable as a flag for the same thing.
1878 1997-03-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1880 * names.c (name_gather): Do not declare static variables which
1881 do not need to be. Have allocated_length represent the full
1882 allocated length, instead of only the name part. It's clearer.
1883 (addname): Similar cleanups.
1885 1997-03-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1887 * compare.c: Always call report_difference when there is a
1888 problem, so the exit status will be set in all cases. Build the
1889 message string if necessary, so avoiding stdargs/varargs.
1890 (report_difference): If NULL argument, just set the exit status
1891 without reporting a message. Move out the word `differs'
1892 in all callers, do not insert into an English message.
1893 (read_and_process): Return void, as the int result is never used.
1894 Assume processors returns nonzero for success and zero for
1895 failure, instead of 0 for success and -1 for error.
1896 (process_rawdata, process_dumpdir): Adjusted.
1898 * compare.c: Remove different as a global variable, it is useless.
1899 (diff_sparse_files): Make different a local variable, reinitialise
1900 it on each call. Otherwise, after any error elsewhere, all sparse
1901 files were always and falsely reported as erroneous.
1902 Reported by James E. Carpenter and Tim Towers.
1904 1997-02-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1906 * tar.c: Adjust copyright years in --version output.
1908 * create.c (dump_file): Allow saving directories even with -o.
1909 Reported by Daniel Trinkle.

1913 * compare.c (verify_volume) [FDFLUSH]: Use fsync even in that case.
1914 Reported by Marty Leisner.
1916 1996-11-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1918 * buffer.c (new_volume): Write file name in two words.
1919 * names.c (name_next): Idem.
1920 * buffer.c (flush_read): Speak of record size instead of blocksize.
1921 Reported by Christian Kirsch.
1923 1996-11-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1925 * list.c (read_header): Return failure, instead of success,
1926 whenever checksums do not match.
1927 Reported by Marc Boucher and Marty Leisner.
1929 * incremen.c (get_directory_contents): Use stat_data instead of
1930 current_header for checking normal files. Otherwise, new or
1931 modified files in old directories were not dumped, that is, if a
1932 directory was older than the listed entry, it was skipped
1933 completely without checking the contained files.
1934 Reported by David Johnson, John David Anglin and Wolfram Wagner.
1936 * buffer.c (open_archive): When updating the archive, initialize
1937 the access variable with reading mode, not update mode.
1938 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
1940 * delete.c (junk_archive): Initially jump directly into the loop,
1941 so deleting a file after a big one will not destroying the archive.
1942 Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Andreas Schwab, Eric Backus, Jeff
1943 Siegel, Saul Lubkin, Stuart Kemp and Yasushi Suzudo.
1945 1996-11-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1947 * incremen.c (get_directory_contents): Compute distance using the
1948 start of the proper buffer.
1949 Reported by David Johnson, Donald H. Locker, John David Anglin,
1950 Marc Boucher and Noah Friedman.
1952 * tar.c (usage): Revise the mandatory/optional sentence again.
1953 Reported by Karl Berry.
1955 1996-11-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1957 * Prerelease 1.11.14.
1959 * tar.c (usage): Explain the purpose of the program.
1961 * tar.c (usage): Clarify the mandatory/optional sentence.
1962 Reported by Alex Schmidt.
1964 * system.h [HAVE_SYS_TAPE_H]: Include sys/buf.h if it exists, to
1965 avoid many warnings on BSD/OS.
1966 Reported by Dan Reish.
1968 1996-11-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1970 * incremen.c (write_directory_file): Renamed from write_dir_file.
1971 (get_directory_contents): Renamed from get_dir_contents.
1972 * common.h: Adjusted.
1974 * all: Cleanup around local variables, renaming them more
1975 appropriately, using initializers when natural, and moving them
1976 closer to the blocks where they are used.
1978 A bit of reorganisation in the sources:
1979 * common.h: New file, for holding all GNU tar specific definitions,
1980 which were previously held in tar.h.
1981 * tar.h: Now limited to the archive format description only.
1982 * all: Include common.h instead of tar.h.
1983 * delete.c: New file, holding delete code out of update.c.
1984 * update.c: Now limited to appending type of commands.
1985 * compare.c: New name for diffarch.c.
1986 * incremen.c: New name for increm.c.
1987 * names.c: Moved over all name processing from tar.c.
1988 * tar.c, common.h: Adjusted.
1989 * Makefile.am: Adjusted.
1991 * system.h (lstat) [!S_ISLNK]: Define as stat.
1992 * create.c, diffarch.c, increm.c: Remove similar definitions.
1994 * tar.c: Merge --version-control into --backup, make it obsolete.
1996 1996-11-10 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
1998 * all: Add a FIXME comment everywhere errno is modified by tar.
2000 * buffer.c (new_volume): Return nonzero/zero for success/failure,
2001 instead of zero/negative. Callers adjusted. Use xstrdup on
2002 file name given by user with the answer "n", so avoiding the
2003 apparently useless allocation of one extra byte. Avoid using p.
2005 * buffer.c: Add DEBUG_FORK conditional code.
2006 Reported by Thomas König and Ulrich Drepper.
2008 * misc.c (maybe_backup_file): In the renaming message, say that
2009 the previous file is being renamed, not the newly extracted one.
2011 * buffer.c (backspace_output): Change return type to void, since
2012 returned values were never used.
2013 * update.c (move_arch): Idem.
2014 (xdup2): New name for redirect, order of arguments was not natural.
2016 1996-11-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2018 * all: Remove all white lines between open braces and comments.
2020 * tar.h: Declare access_mode as an enum and as a variable.
2021 Adjust declaration of open_archive.
2022 * buffer.c: (open_archive, new_volume): Use access instead of
2023 reading. Callers adjusted for using enum access_mode arguments.
2024 (flush_archive, close_archive): Use access_mode, and cleanup.
2025 * diffarch.c (verify_volume): Use access_mode.
2027 * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress, child_open_for_uncompress):
2028 Split of previous child_open_for_compress. Clean up.
2029 (open_archive): Adjusted for calling the proper function above.
2031 1996-11-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2033 * Prerelease 1.11.13.
2035 * tar.c (usage): Do not tie --posix anymore to 1.12.
2037 * extract.c (set_stat): Until we know better, for the time being,
2038 limit restoring symbolic link attributes to lchown only.
2040 * all: Mini clean up. Systematically set logical variables to
2041 one instead of auto-incrementing them (PDP-11 time is over by
2042 now! :-). Replace some single letter counters or cursors by
2043 variables named counter or cursor. Simplify a few C constructs.
2045 * buffer.c, tar.h: Delete read_error_flag, set but never used.
2046 Rename r_error_count to read_error_count.
2048 * create.c (clear_buffer): Use memset instead of explicit loop.
2049 (zero_block_p): Renamed from zero_block, callers adjusted.
2051 1996-11-07 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2053 * rmt.c (private_strerror): Add const's to sys_errlist declaration.
2054 Reported by Fabio d'Alessi.
2056 1996-11-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2058 * tar.h: Add OPTION_BACKUP, OPTION_SUFFIX, OPTION_VERSION_CONTROL.
2059 Renumber options from 3 instead of from 10. Declare flag_backup.
2060 * tar.c: Include backupfile.h. Implement --backup, --suffix and
2061 --version-control decoding. Adjust usage documentation.
2063 * misc.c (maybe_backup_file, un_backup_file): New functions.
2065 * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress, open_archive, new_volume):
2066 Use the new functions.
2067 * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
2068 Reported by Jeffrey Mark Siskind, Karl Berry, Karl Heuer, Marty
2069 Leisner, Melissa Weisshaus and William Bader.

2085 * buffer.c (new_volume, open_archive): Soften messages.
2086 * create.c, extract.c: Add quotes around slashes in some messages.

2113 * tar.c: Include getopt.h.
2116 * increm.c (get_dir_contents): Consider all NFS devices as equal
2117 before deciding that a directory was renamed, so automount will
2118 not fool GNU tar into spurious incremental redumping.
2119 Reported by Frank Koenen, Giorgio Signorini, Joachim Holzfuss,
2120 Konno Hiroharu, R. Kent Dybvig and Wolfram Wagner.
2122 * tar.c (usage): Add bug report address in --help output.
2123 (decode_options): Add copyright and authors in --version output.
2125 * increm.c: New name for gnu.c.
2126 * Makefile.am (tar_SOURCES): Adjusted.

2147 * arith.c: Adjusted.
2148 Reported by Paul Eggert.
2150 * buffer.c: Declare archive_stat statically.
2151 (open_archive): Do not declare archive_stat locally.
2152 (close_archive): Limit archive draining to while reading a pipe.
2153 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2155 1996-09-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2157 * system.h: Define protected defaults for open parameter symbols.
2158 [EMUL_OPEN3]: Intercept open calls and redirect them to open3.
2159 * open3.c: New file, moved over from lib/. Merely include
2160 system.h rather than config.h, errno.h and open3.h.
2161 [EMUL_OPEN3]: The compilation of the file depends on this symbol.
2162 When it was in lib/, we were using LIBOBJS to control this.
2163 * Makefile.am: Adjusted.
2164 * extract.c: Don't call open3.h.
2165 Reported by Jim Meyering.
2167 1996-09-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2169 * Makefile.am (libexec_PROGRAMS): Rely on @RMT@, not rmt.
2170 (bin_PROGRAMS): Do not include @RMT@.
2172 * gnu.c (remove_any_file): Protect value of errno in case
2173 of failure to remove a directory, in non-recursive mode.
2174 This should correct spurious diagnostics while extracting
2175 directories over already existing hierarchies.
2176 Reported by Martin Mares and Marty Leisner.
2178 1996-09-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2180 * gnu.c (read_dir_file): Diagnose file names over PATH_MAX.
2181 (get_dir_contents, add_dir_name): Increase namebuf many times if
2182 this is needed to receive a loong file name.
2183 Reported by Carsten Heyl.
2185 * Makefile.am (tar.o, rmt.o): Special rules for defining
2186 LOCALEDIR, instead of having it defined on all compiles.

2190 1996-09-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2192 * Makefile.am: Use genfile in check_PROGRAMS, not noinst_PROGRAMS.

2197 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Do not mention ansi2knr.1 nor
2198 ansi2knr.c, as Automake now handle them automatically.
2200 1996-07-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2202 * arith.h: Include tar.h, not arith.h, so FATAL_ERROR is defined.
2203 [!SUPER_DIGIT]: Declare arguments to ..._tarlong routines as
2204 pointers to unsigned long and not arrays, for avoiding pointers
2205 to arrays, and nevertheless have arrays passed by reference
2206 rather than by value.
2207 * arith.c: Adjusted function headers accordingly.
2208 * buffer.c, tar.c: Removed address-of operators, using tarlongs.
2209 Reported by Christian T. Dum, Jim Meyering and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
2211 * arith.h [SUPER_DIGIT]: Avoid indirection in all macros for
2212 Accumulators. This, in particular, solves a bug where the pointer
2213 value itself was printed, rather than the pointed to value.
2214 Reported by Drew Sullivan and Wolfram Wagner.
2216 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Include ansi2knr.[1c] for now.
2217 Reported by Christian T. Dum, Jim Meyering and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
2219 1996-07-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2221 * Prerelease 1.11.11.
2223 * Makefile.am (check-local): Ensure relinking if the service
2224 libraries where modified (waiting for Automake to do it!).
2226 1996-07-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2228 * rmt.c (strerror): It is a macro on some systems.
2229 Reported by Santiago Vila Doncel.

2233 * Prerelease 1.11.10.
2235 * checktar.sh: Use a more regular WARNING in message.
2237 1996-07-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2239 * tar.h: Declare that unquote_string as returning int, not char *.
2240 * misc.c (unquote_string): New name for un_quote_string. Clean
2241 up a bit, return a boolean indicator for success, not a string.
2242 * gnu.c (read_dir_file), mangle.c (extract_mangle), tar.c
2243 (add_exclude): Callers adjusted, so they never use a NULL return
2244 as an actual string. In fact, the result of unquote_string is
2245 always used, even if the quoting was improper.
2246 Reported by Johan Vromans.
2248 1996-05-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2250 * tar.h: Define TTY_NAME as a macro, instead of an external array.
2251 * tar.c: Remove declaration of TTY_NAME.

2254 * tar.c, create.c, gnu.c, list.c: Adjusted.
2255 (decode_options): Clarify -N and --newer-mtime decoding, ensure
2256 one of them is called at most, otherwise it would misbehave.
2258 1996-05-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2260 * misc.c (quote_copy_string): Ensure spaces are backslash-quoted.
2261 Reported by Max Hailperin.
2263 * list.c (decode_header): Some clean up. Recognize POSIX archive
2264 headers, avoid fetching atime or ctime in this case.
2265 [!S_IFBLK || !S_IFCHR]: Ensure st_rdev is cleared appropriately.
2266 * tar.h: Rename head_standard to header_format, so turning an
2267 int to an enum archive_format. Adjust decode_header prototype.
2268 * diffarch.c, extract.c, list.c, update.c: Usages changed.
2269 * create.c: Ensure oldgnu_header is only used when OLDGNU_FORMAT.
2270 (Correction just starting to be made--will be comprehensive...)
2271 Reported by Anders Andersson, Bdale Garbee, Chris G Demetriou and
2274 * buffer.c, gnu.c, rtapelib.c, tar.c: Diagnose errors on fclose.
2275 Reported by Jim Meyering.
2277 1996-05-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2279 * buffer.c (close_archive): If reading and the archive is
2280 finished, read until end of archive, for avoiding an error
2281 message from the upstream process if we are reading from a pipe.
2282 Reported by Bennett Todd, Dick Streefland, Don Bennett, Ian Lance
2283 Taylor, Jean-loup Gailly and Piercarlo Grandi.
2285 * create.c (dump_file): Add note about accuracy of st_blocks.
2286 Reported by Dick Streefland.
2288 * diffarch.c: Include <linux/fd.h> if it exists.
2289 (verify_volume): fsync, than ioctl(, FDFLUSH) first.
2290 Reported by Marty Leisner.
2292 1996-04-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2294 * list.c (isotime): New function.
2295 (print_header) [!USE_OLD_CTIME]: Use it instead of ctime.
2296 Reported by Karl Berry and Markus Kuhn.
2298 1996-04-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2300 * extract.c (set_stat): Accept a new parameter telling if this is
2301 a symbolic link. In this case, and if lchown exists, use it
2302 instead of chown. Callers adjusted.
2303 (extract_archive): Do call set_stat over restored symbolic links.
2304 Reported by Andreas Koppenhoefer, Bernard Derval, Ian Jackson,
2305 Matt Power, Warren Dodge and Wolfram Gloger.
2307 * extract.c (extr_init): If the umask was very restrictive at
2308 start of tar, nevertheless ensure we create intermediate
2309 directories with such permissions that we can at least add files
2311 (extract_archive): Same, but for final directory. Ensure
2312 directory attributes are restored in all cases.
2313 Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.
2315 * tar.c: Implement --owner, --group and --mode options.
2316 * tar.h: Declare preset_owner, preset_group and preset_mode.
2317 * create.c: Obey these variables.
2318 Reported by Ken Raeburn, Richard Stallman and Stephen Gildea.
2320 * create.c (dump_file): When wanting the length of the link
2321 name, use strlen, rather then doing wrong arithmetic giving
2322 the number of removed slashes at the beginning of it.
2323 Reported by Brian R. Smith.
2325 * create.c (start_header): Try removing leading slashes even for
2327 Reported by Art Isbell, Fritz Elfert and Robert E. Brown.

2339 * system.h (N_): Define marking macro for delayed translations.
2340 * rmt.c: Use N_ instead of _ for returned strings. It does not
2341 make sense translating messages in a remote process, not knowing
2342 the language in use in the local process.
2344 1996-04-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2346 Instead of -UU for removing directories, request a long option.

2385 * arith.h, arith.c: New files.
2386 * Makefile.am: Use arith.h and arith.c.

2394 Thompson, Russell Cattelan, Ted Rule and Tor Lillqvist.
2396 Ensure --tape-length is usable for huge media:
2397 * tar.h: Declare tape_length as tarlong instead of int.
2398 * tar.c (decode_option): Decode tape_length as tarlong, and use
2399 its value pre-multiplied by 1024.
2400 * buffer.c (flush_write): Use bytes_written and tape_length as
2401 tarlongs. Declare bytes_written outside flush_write.
2402 (init_total_written): Zero out bytes_written as well.

2432 * Makefile.am: Install rmt in $(libexec), not in sbin.
2434 * tar.c (decode_options): Add a semicolon so default case is
2435 not completely empty, for better ANSI C compliance.
2436 Reported by John David Anglin, Kaveh R. Ghazi and Mark Bynum.
2438 1996-01-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2440 * buffer.c (open_archive): Allocate real_s_name at run time
2441 instead of statically, because PATH_MAX is not always constant.

2443 Kaveh R. Ghazi, Martin Bellenberg, Marty Leisner, Nelson
2444 H. F. Beebe, Roland McGrath and Thomas König.

2481 links, attempt extracting symbolic links as hard links instead,
2482 as POSIX suggests. Emit a diagnostic on first occurrence.
2484 * extract.c (extract_archive): On systems not having contiguous
2485 files, continue extracting them as regular files as before, but

2490 * tar.h: Declare remove_any_file.
2491 * gnu.c (remove_any_file): New name for recursively_delete.

2494 (gnu_restore): Specify recursion when calling remove_any_file.
2495 * extract.c (maybe_recoverable): New routine.
2496 (extract_archive): Call maybe_recoverable rather than
2497 make_directories, so deleting files is also tried. Some cleanup.
2499 * tar.h: Declare flag_unlink_first.
2500 * tar.c (decode_options): Decode --unlink-first (-U).
2501 (usage): Document it.

2522 the beginning of it.
2524 * tar.h (USAGE_ERROR): New macro.
2525 * tar.c: Use USAGE_ERROR as far as possible. Cleanup and
2526 normalization in string for usage errors. Better detection of
2527 conflicting options about archive format or compression program.
2529 * tar.c (decode_options): Decouple cases for -C and files. Count
2530 number of input files. Cowardly refuse to create an empty archive
2531 file, if -c is given without input file or list.
2532 Reported by Karl Berry and Robert Bernstein.
2534 1995-12-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2536 * buffer.c: Rename a few err variables to status.

2544 written to /dev/null, nor read file nor restore times.
2545 Reported by Greg Maples and Tor Lillqvist.
2547 * gnu.c: Have dir_list properly initialized to NULL.
2548 Reported by Paul Nordstrom and Tim Lashua.

2553 * tar.h: Adjust declaration.
2554 * extract.c (make_directories): New name for make_dirs. Some
2555 cleanup in variable names.
2557 * extract.c: Let newdir_umask be a global variable.
2558 (make_directories): Use newdir_umask while creating intermediate
2559 directories. They used to be 0777 unconditionally.
2560 Reported by Bruce Evans, Harald König and James Crawford Ralston.
2562 1995-12-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2564 * create.c (finish_header): Avoid printing the header for long
2565 names or links, this avoids spurious `Visible longname error's.
2567 Reported by Arne Wichmann, Chris F.M. Verberne, Frank Koenen,
2568 Franz-Werner Gergen, Ian Jackson, Jon Lewis, Mark Kollert, Paul
2569 Nordstrom, Ted Rule, Thomas Priesner, Tim Rylance and Tom Tromey.
2571 1995-12-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2573 * buffer.c: Have real_s_name able to hold PATH_MAX characters,
2574 not only NAME_FIELD_SIZE. It was breaking --multi-volume
2575 --listed-incremental when backing up long file names.
2576 Many symptoms really: a screwed-up date on the incremental data
2577 file, dumping incremental which should not have been, etc.
2578 * (flush_read): Avoid altering save_name pointer value, use
2579 cursor instead. Also avoid the optimization of cleaning each
2580 save_name only once per flush_read if it did not change: it
2581 was using `save_name = real_s_name;', and since save_name may
2582 be freed at any time, this is/was really running after trouble.
2584 Reported by Alexander V. Lukyanov, Axel Habermann, Chance

2602 Fabio d'Alessi, Greg Hudson, Jason R. Mastaler, Skip Montanaro,
2603 Thomas Krebs and Troy Rudolph.
2605 1995-12-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2607 * extract.c (extract_archive): Unrecognized types were defaulted
2608 to sparse files instead of regular files, because of an improper
2609 /* Fall through. */.
2611 * create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c, list.c, rtapelib.c,
2612 tar.c: Drop register specifications, useless in GNU's tar, as
2613 tar does not use longjmp, and GNU C has -O automagically set.
2615 * extract.c (extract_archive): Inhibit creation of links, special
2616 devices, directories, etc., when --to-stdout option is being used.
2617 Reported by Donald B Gordon, Gerben Wierda, Greg Chung, Norbert
2618 Kiesel and Roman Czyborra.

2623 * tar.c (main): Diagnose delayed error, for TAREXIT_FAILURE only.
2624 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, gnu.c, list.c, tar.c, update.c: Replace
2625 all `ERROR ((TAREXIT_FAILURE,' by `FATAL_ERROR ((0,'.
2626 Reported by Marty Leisner.
2628 * list.c (read_and): When telling block numbers in verbose output,
2629 clearly list block numbers for NUL blocks and end of file.
2630 Reported by Jörg Weule.
2632 * tar.c (usage): Document --newer-time.
2633 Reported by Greg Chung.
2635 1995-11-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

2645 Reported by Goeran Uddeborg, J.J. Bailey, John L. Chmielewski,
2646 Peder Chr. Norgaard and Yasushi Suzudo.
2648 1995-11-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2650 * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose --block-compress properly.
2651 Was segment violating because falling into --blocking-factor.
2653 * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, genfile.c, gnu.c, tar.c:
2654 Uniformly write nonzero instead of non-zero.
2655 Reported by Karl Berry.
2657 * system.h, buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, tar.c, update.c [MSDOS]:
2658 Instead of __MSDOS__, all occurrences.

2665 * tar.c (usage): Correct absolute-paths to absolute-names.
2666 Reported by Jonathan Kamens.
2668 * tar.c (usage): Indicate that --exclude uses globbing, and that
2669 --label uses regexps.
2670 Reported by John R. Vanderpool and Matti Aarnio.
2672 * tar.c (names_notfound): Do not report a fake namelist entry, so
2673 gzipped empty archives will not produce spurious diagnostics.
2674 Reported by Jonathan Kamens.
2676 1995-11-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2678 * tar.c (name_scan, name_match): Avoid labels and gotos.

2684 * ChangeLog: New, extracted from top-level ChangeLog.
2686 * tar.c (main, decode_options): Delay request_stdin for `-f'
2687 until all options processed, so we now for sure that `-' means
2688 standard input, not standard output.
2690 * tar.c (usage): Document that users should not count on
2691 POSIX support yet, saying it is only partially implemented so far.
2693 1995-10-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2695 * rtapelib.c (_rmt_shutdown): Add the errno_value parameter.
2696 (__rmt_open): Call shutdown if remote open fails, or else, we lose
2698 Reported by Holger Teutsch.
2700 1995-10-20 Tom Tromey <tromey@drip.colorado.edu>
2702 * tar.c (request_stdin): New function.
2703 (stdin_used_by): New variable.

2716 1995-08-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2718 * buffer.c (new_volume): Use stderr rather than stdlis for
2719 interactions. Clarify `archive == 0' into `archive == STDIN'.

2735 * tar.c (decode_options): Reorder the cases in the big switch.
2737 * tar.h: Introduce OLDGNU_COMPATIBILITY, enum archive_format,
2738 variable archive_format. Delete flag_old_archive, flag_standard.
2739 * tar.c (decode_options): Initialize archive_format so that -o
2740 yields V7_FORMAT, nothing yields OLDGNU_FORMAT, --posix yields
2741 GNU_FORMAT, and --posix with POSIXLY_CORRECT yields POSIX_FORMAT.
2742 * create.c (start_header): Use TMAGIC and TVERSION if required.
2743 Replace all flag_old_archive and flag_standard appropriately.
2745 * tar.c: Implement a --record-size option, which is an
2746 alternate way of saying --blocking-factor, in bytes this time.
2748 * tar.h, tar.c, create.c (dump_file): Implement
2749 a --no-recurse option, to help using tar with find.
2750 Reported by Chris G. Demetriou, Jamie Zawinski, Kimball

2753 * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c (child_open_for_compress):
2754 Delete --block-compress, issue a warning if used. It was never
2755 obeyed while outputting on disk files, where it would have been
2756 useful. It was only obeyed for pipes, remotes and devices, that
2757 is, exactly when it would be an error not to specify it.
2759 Reported by Hans Guerth, James H Caldwell Jr, Jean-loup Gailly,
2760 Jeffrey W. Parker, John D. Sybalsky, Kai Schlichting, Marcin

2777 * extract.c (set_mode, set_stat): New functions, from
2778 previous code, elsewhere. Replace various occurrences of code
2779 appropriately with function calls. Ensure mode bits are properly
2780 set in all circumstances. This may imply calling set_mode twice.
2781 Reported by Piercarlo Grandi and Tim Magill.
2783 * extract.c: Save the whole stat information in saved
2784 directory information, instead of parts of it, all mistyped.

2813 and flag_volno_file by volno_file.
2815 * tar.c: Rename --modification-time by --touch, and provide a
2816 warning for the old option.
2818 1995-06-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2820 * list.c (decode_header): At extraction time, use the stored
2821 uid if uname is unknown in this system, and use the stored gid if
2822 gname is unknown in this system, instead. This solves a long
2823 lasting bug by which restored files were all owned by root, using
2824 an incomplete /etc/passwd or /etc/group file.
2825 * names.c: Rename finduname to uid_to_uname and findgname to
2826 gid_to_gname, exchanging the order of arguments. Use uid_t and
2827 gid_t instead of int's. Use empty strings in cached_[ug]name for
2828 marking there is no valid cached translation, instead of using
2829 magic values for cached_[ug]id. Rename finduid to uname_to_uid
2830 and findgid to gname_to_gid, adding a second argument to store the
2831 result if found, and returning a success/failure indication, not
2832 anymore assuming the current [ug]id by default.
2833 * tar.h, create.c, list.c: Adjust prototypes and callers.
2835 Reported by Anders Andersson, Bernard Derval, Brian Perkins,
2836 Charles Fu, Daniel Trinkle, Ian Jackson, Johannes Helander,
2837 Michael Lin, Richard Sims, Robert E. Brown, Tim P. Starrin and
2840 * tar.h, create.c, list.c, names.c, tar.c:
2841 Implement --numeric-owner, to replace the NONAMES define. Then,
2842 ensure some reasonable values to magic and linkflags if POSIX.
2843 Reported by Benedikt Stockebrand, Ian Jackson and Stephen Gildea.
2845 * buffer.c: Delete save_block function, as well as
2846 saved_block_pointer and saved_block variables. Blocks were
2847 carefully saved indeed, but never consulted after the fact.
2848 * tar.h: Delete save_block prototype.
2849 * *.c: Delete all usages of save_block.
2851 * rmt.c: Add static to variable declarations.
2852 * list.c (read_header): Rename recsum to recorded_sum.
2854 1995-06-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2856 * *.[hc]: Rename --read-full-blocks to --read-full-records,
2857 --block-size to --blocking-factor, and --record-number to
2859 * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose usage of old names.
2861 * *.[hc]: Rename saverec to save_block, findrec to
2862 find_next_block, and userec to set_next_block_after.
2863 Replace endofrecs by available_space_after which does the space
2864 computation instead of returning the end pointer, adjust and
2865 simplify all callers, by using variable data_block systematically.
2866 Also, rename union block field charptr to buffer.
2868 1995-06-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2870 * *.[hc]: Exchange "record" and "block" almost everywhere and
2871 whenever appropriate, to follow the terminology used in
2872 P1003.1-1990, and so removing a lot of confusion in sources.
2874 * tar.h: Prefer naming constants and fields per P1003-1.1990 as
2875 far as possible. Rename those remaining LF_xxx to GNUTYPE_xxx.
2876 * *.c: Adjusted accordingly.
2878 * tar.h: Clean up the header structure. Make very clear what is
2879 specified by POSIX, and what is GNU format, and what is extended
2880 header for sparse files. Use xxx_FIELD_SIZE instead of NAMSIZ,
2881 TUNMLEN and TGNMLEN. Dismangle some other names, on the way...
2882 * *.c: Adjusted accordingly.
2884 * tar.h: Do not declare baserec, declare current_block_ordinal.
2885 * buffer.c (current_block_ordinal): New function.
2886 Rename baserec to record_start_block, and make it static.
2887 * list.c: Use current_block_ordinal, avoid baserec computations.
2888 * buffer.c, list.c: Get rid of saved_recno and annofile.
2890 * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Move no_op and wantbytes from
2891 buffer.c to diffarch.c. Correct prototypes so first arg is long.
2892 * tar.h: Do not declare no_op nor wantbytes, anymore.
2894 * tar.h, buffer.c: Move ar_block, ar_record and ar_last
2895 from tar.h to buffer.c, renaming them to record_start,
2896 current_block, record_end respectively.
2897 * update.c: Add temporary extern declaration for record_start,
2898 current_block and record_end.
2900 * tar.h, buffer.c: Move ar_reading from tar.h to buffer.c,
2901 renaming it to reading_archive.
2902 * diffarch.c: Add temporary extern declaration for
2905 * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c,
2906 list.c, names.c, rmt.c, rmt.h, rtapelib.c,
2907 tar.c, update.c: Replace many #ifdef's by #if's, and
2908 #ifndef's by #if !'s.
2910 * buffer.c (redirect): New name for dupto. Callers changed.
2912 * create.c (dump_file), extract.c (extract_archive,
2913 extract_sparse_file), tar.h: Remove crumb about ending_blanks
2916 * Makefile.in (all): Do not prepare genfile by default, as it
2917 is only needed for checking.
2919 * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose lacking arguments to old
2921 Reported by Aage Robeck, Alan Cox, Benny Holmgren, Bruno Haible,
2922 Daniel Quinlan, Michael Schmidt, Richard J. Kettlewell and Robert
2925 1995-06-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2927 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Avoid dereferencing remote_user

2958 * tar.h: Remove external prototypes related to rtapelib.c, as
2959 those are already declared in rmt.h.
2961 1995-06-18 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
2963 * buffer.c (xclose): New, from port.c (ck_close).
2964 Replace ck_close by xclose in all modules.
2965 * port.c: Remove ck_close.
2967 * port.c: Remove ck_malloc, because xmalloc can be used
2968 instead, now that it protects against malloc(0) returning NULL.
2969 * gnu.c (gnu_restore), list.c (read_header): Replace
2970 ck_malloc with xmalloc. In gnu_restore, remove skipping code in
2971 case of failed allocation, because tar already aborted in xmalloc.
2972 * tar.h: Delete ck_malloc declaration.
2974 * port.c: Remove mknod, link, chown and geteuid, which
2975 normally exist on Unix. To be reinserted later, as needed.
2976 Reported by Jyh-Shyang Wang, Nelson H. F. Beebe, Philippe Defert
2979 * tar.c: Declare TTY_NAME, moved over from port.c.
2981 * extract.c (extract_archive), tar.c (decode_options):
2982 Clean out old NO_OPEN3 code.
2983 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
2985 * buffer.c (child_open): In-line previous ck_pipe code.
2986 * tar.h: Delete ck_pipe declaration.
2987 * port.c: Delete ck_pipe function.
2989 * misc.c: New, reorganizing remaining code from port.c.
2991 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
2993 * misc.c (un_quote_string): If `\' ends a string to unquote,
2994 just pass it undisturbed.
2997 * system.h: Replace many #ifdef by #if, #ifndef by #if !.
2999 1995-06-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3003 * Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Remove also _*.c and _*.o.
3005 * create.c (dump_file), gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Cast
3006 (int) explicitely for test.
3008 * Makefile.in ($(OBJECTS)): Depend on ../intl/libgettext.h
3009 instead of ../intl/libintl.h, which does not always exist.
3011 * genfile.c: Define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE if not.
3012 * tar.c (main): Use TAREXIT_SUCCESS instead of EXIT_SUCCESS.
3014 * tar.h: Use off_t instead of long for the second argument in
3015 __rmt_lseek declaration.
3016 * system.h: Remove typedef of off_t, because AC_TYPE_OFF_T
3017 takes care of it now.
3018 Reported by Coranth Gryphon, Jim Blandy and Thomas Krebs.
3020 1995-06-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3022 * checktar.sh: Send a message saying that it is still useless.
3024 1995-06-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3026 * tar.h, tar.c (decode_options), extract.c
3027 (extract_archive), diffarch.c (diff_archive), create.c
3028 (dump_file, start_header), tar.c (decode_options): Replace
3029 flag_absolute_paths by flag_absolute_names.
3030 * tar.c (decode_options): Implement OBSOLETE_ABSOLUTE_NAMES for
3031 reporting --absolute-paths as obsolete.
3033 * system.h: Conditionnaly include <locale.h> and define
3034 setlocale to void independently of ENABLE_NLS.
3035 Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
3037 1995-06-10 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3039 * tar.c (long_options): Use no_argument and require_argument,
3040 instead of constants. Have long option names translated to short
3041 options whenever possible, rather than setting flags directly:
3042 easing option management is worth a few extra nanoseconds.
3044 * tar.c (long_options): Add --gunzip as meaning -z.
3045 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3047 1995-06-07 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3049 * Makefile.in: Use subdir and distdir.
3051 * system.h [NLS]: Simplify by merely including <libintl.h>.
3052 Also, define setlocale to empty only if the setlocale function is
3053 not known, instead of when <locale.h> is missing.
3054 * Makefile.in (INCLUDES): Use ../intl in compilations,
3055 taking care of the fact libintl.h might have been symlinked there.
3057 1995-06-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3059 * tar.c, tar.h: Rename TAR_EXTERN to GLOBAL.
3061 * tar.h: Delete COMMAND_VERSION.
3062 * tar.c: Replace OPTION_HELP and OPTION_VERSION commands by
3063 show_help and show_version variables, so `--version --create' will
3064 not diagnose `Too many commands'. Adjust things so this works.
3065 Reported by Marty Leisner.
3067 1995-06-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3069 * Makefile.in (check): New goal.
3070 * checktar.sh: New script.
3071 * genfile.c: New file.
3072 * Makefile.in (all): Prepare genfile.
3073 * Makefile.in: Distribute checktar.sh and genfile.c.
3075 1995-06-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3077 * tar.h: Adjust so extracted doc/header.texi is neater.
3079 1995-05-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3081 * tar.c (name_match): Use %s for printing directory, not %d.
3082 Reported by Marty Leisner.
3084 * tar.c (name_gather, addname): chdir_name receives string
3085 pointers which might later be overwritten, but nevertheless saved
3086 into structures, so, use xstrdup for the time being.
3087 Reported by Michael Holmes.
3089 * tar.c (name_next, name_from_list): Abort when chdir fails.
3090 Reported by Ian Jackson and Marty Leisner.
3092 1995-05-28 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3094 * rmt.h: Declare second argument of __rmt_lseek to be off_t
3095 instead of long, so it is the same as in rmt.c.
3096 Reported by Chris Arthur.
3098 * buffer.c (close_archive): Compensate for the addition of 2
3099 to ar_block at open_archive time, for when -M used, just before
3101 Reported by Bruno Haible, Clinton Carr, Hernan Prieto Schmidt,
3102 Kevin Dalley, Loren J. Rittle and Marty Leisner.
3104 * rmt.c: Replace SSIZE by STRING_SIZE, avoiding a conflict
3105 with some header files.
3106 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.
3108 * tar.c: Use DEVICE_PREFIX instead of DEVICE_PREXIX, and
3109 WITH_REGEX instead of WITH_REGEC.
3110 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3112 1995-05-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3114 * Prerelease 1.11.7.
3116 * Makefile.in (tar): Have $(OBJECTS) depend on system.h.
3118 * system.h: Many adjustements for GNU gettext.
3120 1995-05-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3122 * Makefile.in: Clean glocale out.
3124 1995-05-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3126 * Makefile.in: Use libintl.a while linking.
3127 * system.h: Include <libintl.h> unconditionally, instead only
3128 if WITH_CATALOG. Let <libintl.h> define _() appropriately.
3129 * tar.c (main): Call textdomain.
3131 1995-05-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3133 * system.h, gnu.c, list.c, port.c: Avoid
3134 superfluous parentheses in macro definitions.
3135 * port.c: Capitalize macro arguments.
3136 * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, tar.c: Use comma
3137 operator when assignment in test.
3139 1995-04-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3141 * port.c (link): Use WARN to report the message.
3142 Reported by Sherwood Botsford.
3144 1995-03-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3146 * Makefile.in: Remove GLOCALE, add LINGUAS, use fp_WITH_CATALOGS.
3147 * system.h: Use WITH_CATALOGS to define _() differently.
3149 1995-03-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3151 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Close the unused side of each
3152 pipe, instead of the useful one, prior to processing.
3153 Reported by Charles Lopes and Minh Tran-Le.
3155 1995-02-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3157 * Makefile.in: Replace `date' by `echo timestamp'.
3159 1995-02-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3161 * Makefile.in: Support ID files. Do not distribute TAGS.
3163 1995-02-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3165 * Makefile.in: Use top_srcdir.
3167 1995-02-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3169 * gnu.c (is_dot_or_dotdot): Through NFS, readdir might deliver
3170 empty filenames under old Solaris 2.4, causing endless loops in
3171 tar. As a workaround, avoid `' as done already for `.' and `..'.
3172 Reported by Jan Carlson.
3174 1995-02-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3176 * Makefile.in (maintainer-clean): New name for realclean.
3178 1995-01-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3180 * extract.c (make_dirs) [MSDOS]: Correct for Turbo C, which may
3181 return EACCES instead of EEXIST on mkdir.
3182 Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.
3184 * tar.c (usage) [MSDOS]: Do not tell about -N and related.
3185 (decode_options) [MSDOS]: Be blind to -N and related.
3186 Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.
3188 * rmt.h (_remdev): A filename is not remote if the colon is
3189 preceeded by a slash, to take care of `/:/' which is a shorthand
3190 for `/.../<CELL-NAME>/fs' on OSF's Distributing Computing
3191 Environment (DCE) and Distributed File System (DFS).
3192 Reported by Travis L. Priest.
3194 1995-01-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3196 * tar.c (decode_options): Renamed from options. Convert
3197 oldish-style non-dashed options to modern writing before
3198 performing option decoding. Diagnose when modern options are met
3199 before old style options are fully converted. This allows
3200 mixing of option styles on a single call. Avoid getoldopt and
3201 use getopt_long instead.
3202 * getoldopt.c: Deleted.
3203 * tar.h: Prototype deleted.
3204 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
3205 Reported by Bruno Haible, Les Mikesell, Patrick Timmons and Saul
3208 1995-01-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3210 * system.h: New file, split out of tar.h.
3211 * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c,
3212 getoldopt.c, gnu.c, list.c, mangle.c, names.c,
3213 port.c, tar.c, update.c: Include "system.h", and move
3214 the inclusion of "tar.h" down after system dependent definitions.
3215 * Makefile.in: Distribute system.h.
3217 * rmt.c: Include "system.h", and simplify accordingly.
3218 * rtapelib.c: Include "system.h", and simplify accordingly.
3219 * rmt.h: Simplify according to the inclusion of "system.h".
3221 * system.h: Include conditionnaly <sys/gentape.h>,
3222 <sys/tape.h>, <sys/mtio.h>, <sys/ioctl.h> and <sys/io/trioctl.h>.
3223 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, rmt.c, rtapelib.c,
3224 update.c: Simplify accordingly.
3226 * system.h: If it exists, include <sys/ioccom.h> prior to
3227 <sys/mtio.h>, to account for problems when GNU libc 1.0x is
3228 installed over SunOS 4.1.3: GNU libc does not provide sys/mtio.h,
3229 so it is taken from Sun header files which use things like _IOW,
3230 which GNU libc despises, sys/ioccom.h then provides definitions.
3231 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.
3233 1994-12-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3235 * rmt.h: Ensure strrchr is defined to rindex in some cases.
3236 Reported by Karl Vogel.

3242 * list.c: Adjust, declare and use ISODIGIT and ISSPACE.
3243 * port.c: Adjust, declare and use ISPRINT.
3244 Reported by Bruno Haible, Konno Hiroharu and Max Hailperin.
3246 1994-12-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3248 * buffer.c, tar.c [WITH_REGEX]: Check it.
3250 1994-12-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3252 * Prerelease 1.11.6.
3254 * rmt.c: Adjust for localization, by including <locale.h> and
3255 <libintl.h>, by defining _(), by defining and calling setlocale,
3256 and by defining and initializing program_name.
3257 * Makefile.in: Use locale.o and libtar.a with rmt.
3259 * Makefile.in: Ensure INSTALL_DATA is defined.
3261 * Makefile.in, tar.h, tar.c:
3262 Localize, adapting from how it is done in sharutils.
3264 * Makefile.in, tar.c: Rename PRODUCT to PACKAGE.
3266 1994-11-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3268 * buffer.c (backspace_output): Change cur from long to off_t.
3269 * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Idem for offset.
3270 * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem for offset.
3271 * rmt.c: Idem for lseek ().
3272 (main): For case 'L', use atol instead of atoi, and cast the
3273 result to (off_t) rather than (long).
3274 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_lseek): Idem of offset argument.
3275 * tar.h: Change offset of sp_array from int to off_t.
3276 * update.c (move_arch): Change cur from long to off_t.
3277 Reported by David J. MacKenzie.
3279 1994-11-26 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3281 * rmt.h, tar.h, buffer.c, create.c,
3282 diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c, list.c,
3283 rtapelib.c, update.c: Rename _ to __P.
3284 * tar.h, rmt.h: Declare _ as a macro returning its
3285 argument, or else, include <libintl.h> and declare _ as gettext.
3286 * tar.c: Possibly include <locale.h> and call setlocale.
3287 * rmt.c, buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c,
3288 extract.c, getoldopt.c, gnu.c, list.c,
3289 mangle.c, port.c, rtapelib.c, tar.c,
3290 update.c: Use _ macro over all localizable strings.
3292 * rtapelib.c: Declare prototype for xstrdup. Do not declare
3293 strstr, which is not needed.
3295 1994-11-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3297 * Makefile.in: Clean up, following those of GNU m4. I will
3298 not detail all the changes here.
3299 * tar.c: Use PRODUCT and VERSION instead of version_string.
3301 1994-10-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3303 * tar.h [__STDC__]: Use #if instead of #ifdef.
3305 1994-10-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3307 * rmt.h, tar.h, buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c,
3308 extract.c, gnu.c, list.c, mangle.c, tar.c,
3309 update.c: Rename all f_* variables to flag_*.
3311 * tar.h, buffer.c, tar.c, update.c: Rename cmd_mode into command_mode.
3312 * tar.c (SET_COMMAND_MODE): New macro, use it.
3314 * port.c (quote_copy_string): Prevent sign extension of
3315 character while copying it to an int.
3316 * (un_quote_string): Increment to_there pointer in all cases.
3317 Reported by Konno Hiroharu, Mats Lofkvist, Max Hailperin and
3320 1994-10-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3322 * rmt.c, rtapelib.c, tar.h: Get rid of CONFIG_BROKETS.
3324 1994-10-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3326 * diffarch.c (fill_in_sparse_array): Add a cast for Pyramid's
3327 dumb compiler. Later remove the cast and compare to 0 instead.
3328 * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
3329 Reported by Karl Vogel and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3331 1994-09-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3333 * diffarch.c: Normalize capitalization in diagnostics.
3335 1994-09-26 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3337 * tar.c (name_next, name_match): Abort tar if directory cannot
3338 be changed, instead of going on. This is not an innocuous error.
3339 Reported by Marty Leisner.
3341 1994-09-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3343 * rtapelib.c: Include "rmt.h" only once <sys/types.h> has been
3344 included, because off_t might not be defined otherwise.
3345 Reported by James W. McKelvey, John L. Chmielewski, Karl
3346 Vogel, Kaveh R. Ghazi an and Jim Meyering and Tilman Schmidt.
3348 1994-09-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3350 * Makefile.in: Cleanup...
3351 (DISTFILES): Distribute TAGS.
3352 (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS).
3353 (TAGS): Make TAGS in $(srcdir) only.
3354 (distclean): Do not remove TAGS.
3355 (realclean): Remove TAGS.
3356 (Makefile): Have ./config.status create this Makefile only.
3358 1994-09-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3360 * buffer.c: Remove the presetting of stdlis, because stdout is
3361 not a constant in GNU libc.
3362 Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.
3364 * buffer.c (new_volume): Pass an otherwise unused argument to
3365 wait, do not use NULL.
3366 Reported by Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.
3368 1994-09-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3370 * Makefile.in (TAGS): Remove -t on etags call. It has been
3371 the default behavior for a few releases of Emacs and it seems that
3372 option -t is now disappearing (from Emacs 19.25, at least).
3373 Reported by Goeran Uddeborg.
3375 1994-09-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3377 * gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Do not set dp->allnew if dp is not
3379 Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.
3381 * extract.c (extract_archive): Issue diagnostic or verbose
3382 messages to msg_file, instead of stdout.
3383 Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.
3385 1994-08-23 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3387 * tar.h: Do not declare alloca if already defined, so HP's
3388 +Olibcalls compiler option works.
3389 Reported by John David Anglin.
3391 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Use REMOTE_SHELL only if defined.
3392 Otherwise, if the command argument has been specified and
3393 REMOTE_SHELL is not defined, immediately return an error.
3394 Reported by Bruno Haible, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Marty Leisner,
3395 Torkel Hasle and William Bader.
3397 Because --rsh-command may always be given, even if no remote shell
3398 was found at configure time, remote capabilities are always
3399 compiled. This also solve other problems related to RTAPELIB.
3400 * Makefile.in: Always compile $Urtapelib.o.
3401 * buffer.c (child_open): Always test _remdev, do not depend
3402 anymore on HAVE_RTAPELIB.
3403 * rmt.h [!HAVE_RTAPELIB]: Remove some code.
3404 Reported by Andreas Schwab and Vic Abell.
3406 * rtapelib.c: Remove unused COMPAT (mis)feature. Remove most
3407 length limitations for remote host name, remote user name and
3408 remote device name. Duplicate path, and free it in all cases.
3409 * (_rmt_rexec): The `user' parameter may never by the empty
3410 string. Remove code for that case.
3412 1994-08-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3414 Little cleanup in installation:
3415 * Makefile.in: Remove rule for ../lib/libtar.a.
3417 1994-08-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3419 * Prerelease 1.11.5.
3421 * Makefile.in: Correct for when a different build directory.
3423 * tar.h: Replace W* definitions. Adapted from make 3.71.
3424 * buffer.c (close_archive): Replace WIFCOREDUMPED by
3425 WCOREDUMP. Previous WIFSIGNALED definition was excluding SIGSTOP,
3426 new definition do not exclude it anymore. We'll see.
3427 Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, Greg Black, Kaveh R. Ghazi,
3428 Robert E. Brown and Russ Evans.
3430 1994-08-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3432 This might (?) solve the dirent problems on NeXT's and Apollo's:
3433 * tar.h: Change includes and defines from older AC_DIR_HEADER
3434 style to newer and clearer AC_HEADER_DIRENT style.
3435 * create.c, gnu.c: Replace NLENGTH by NAMLEN.
3436 Reported by Drew Trieger, Hugh Secker-Walker, James W. McKelvey,
3437 Robert E. Brown and Thomas Krebs.
3439 1994-08-17 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3441 Remove some shadowings.
3442 * update.c (update_archive): Rename head_standard to unused.
3443 * buffer.c (open_archive): Rename head to label.
3444 (fl_read): Rename head to cursor.
3446 * gnu.c (dirent_cmp): Use (char *const *), not (const char **)
3447 for not loosing the const specifier while casting.
3449 * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Remove unused argument.
3450 * tar.h: Adjust prototype.
3451 * extract.c (extract_archive): Caller changed.
3453 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Remove useless mode parameter.
3454 * rmt.h, tar.h: Adjust prototype.
3455 * rmt.h: Adjust macros calling __rmt_open.
3456 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Remove unused argument.
3457 * create.c (dump_file): Caller changed.
3458 Reported by Greg Black.
3460 * Makefile.in: Avoid $U in defining RTAPELIB. Remove both
3461 rtapelib.o and _urtapelib.o explicit rules, not needed anymore.
3462 * rmt.h, buffer.c [HAVE_RTAPELIB]: Instead of !NO_REMOTE.
3463 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3465 * Makefile.in: Correct a typo in $Ubuffer.o dependencies.
3466 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3468 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl): Compile the MTIOCGET case only if
3469 this symbol is defined. This also solves a missing mt_type field
3470 on NS32016 running SysVr2.2.
3471 Reported by Greg Black.
3473 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl) : Conditionnalize only the MTIOCTOP
3474 case, not the whole routine, with the MTIOCTOP symbol. In case of
3475 unrecognized operation, return EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL.
3476 * rmt.h: Always provide a prototype for __rmt_ioctl. Delete
3477 the RMTIOCTL machinery.
3479 1994-08-16 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3481 * rmt.c, buffer.c: Use a more uniform way of including
3482 <sys/mtio.h> or its alternates.
3483 Reported by Daniel R. Guilderson and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3485 * Makefile.in: Split rule for $Urtapelib.o into one rule for
3486 rtapelib.o and one rule for _rtapelib.o, taking care of the fact
3487 that rtapelib.c is in $(srcdir) while _rtapelib.c is in current
3489 Reported by Andreas Schwab, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Minh Tran-Le and
3492 * rmt.c (string_error): Correct DEBUG2 into DEBUG1, and strint
3494 Reported by Anders Andersson, Bruno Haible, Thomas Krebs and
3497 * Makefile.in: Add $U's to rtapelib and rmt specific rules.
3498 Reported by Thomas König.
3500 1994-08-15 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3502 * Prerelease 1.11.4.
3504 * rmt.c (numeric_error): Renamed from error.
3505 (string_error): New, to replace ERROR ((...)), unavailable in rmt.c.
3507 * rmt.c (checkbuf): Do not accept, nor return record. Use the
3508 global instead. This will get rid of useless shadowings.
3510 * rmt.h: Give prototypes for __rmt_* routines.
3511 * rtapelib.c: Include "rmt.h".
3512 * update.c (move_arch): Cast last rmtioctl argument to char *.
3513 * buffer.c (backspace_output): Idem.
3514 * diffarch.c (verify_volume): Idem.
3516 * Makefile.in (rmt): Declare dependencies over rmt.h.
3518 1994-08-14 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3520 * rtapelib.c: Use MTIO_CHECK_FIELD instead of mt_type.
3521 Reported by Ben A. Mesander.
3523 1994-08-13 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3525 * tar.h: Include <sys/wait.h> if it exists, whether POSIX or not.
3526 Check if WIFSTOPPED is defined, to decide if defining others WIF*.
3527 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3529 1994-08-11 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3531 * extract.c (extract_archive) [O_CTG]: Declare longname variable.
3532 Initialize it as NULL. This dirty kludge will allow the module to
3533 compile on Masscomp's, for the time being.
3534 Reported by Ben A. Mesander.
3536 * tar.h, rtapelib.c: Declare strstr if we replaced it.
3537 Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Christian T. Dum and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3539 1994-08-10 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3541 * create.c (dump_file): Do not test only for hpux, but also
3542 for __hpux. I added __hpux__ too, as done in tar.h.
3543 Reported by Richard Lloyd.
3545 * tar.h: Do not include <sys/mknod.h> anymore for HP-UX from
3546 HP-UX 8 and after, for which definitions are in <sys/sysmacros.h>,
3547 and reorganize the tests in this area.
3548 Reported by Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis, Kimmy Posey,
3549 Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd and Thomas König.
3551 1994-08-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3553 These changes for const-cleaning gnu.c and tar.c:
3554 * tar.c (read_name_from_file): Work directly on global
3555 variables instead of accepting parameters. Return success or
3556 failure as an int instead of the relocated name_buffer.
3557 (name_next): Caller changed, internal clean-up of the function.
3558 Remove trailing slashes on the command call too, not only when
3559 reading from a file through -T option.
3560 * gnu.c: Add const to name and dir_text in struct dirname.
3561 Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Bruno Haible, Christian T. Dum,
3562 Dean Gaudet, James W. McKelvey, Richard Lloyd and Robert E. Brown.
3564 1994-08-08 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3566 * tar.c (name_next, name_gather, addname): Use strcmp for
3567 checking for "-C", instead of decomposed tests, just for clarity.
3569 * Makefile.in (RSH): Define from configuration.
3570 (rtapelib.o): Define REMOTE_SHELL from $(RSH) while compiling.
3571 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): If command not given, use
3572 REMOTE_SHELL, instead of cascading tries of filenames.
3573 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3575 * tar.c: Include <fnmatch.h> if FNM_LEADING_DIR is not
3576 defined, instead of checking for FNM_PATHNAME, because some
3577 <unistd.h> define the later without defining the former.
3578 Reported by Thomas König.
3580 * create.c (dump_file): Cast alloca results, for those
3581 compilers not processing void * properly.
3582 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3584 * Makefile.in: Get prefix and exec_prefix from configure.
3585 Reported by Andreas Schwab, Christian T. Dum and Dean Gaudet.
3587 * src/port.c: Delete mkdir (and rmdir), rename, strstr and
3588 ftruncate replacements.
3589 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi (for memset and strstr).
3590 Reported by Bruno Haible (for mkdir and rename).
3592 1994-08-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3594 * tar.h: Replace msg_file by stdlis.
3595 * buffer.c, gnu.c, list.c, diffarch.c: Idem.
3597 * tar.c (main): Print version on stdout, not stderr.
3599 * tar.h: Unconditionnaly insert the pad. Why play the game of
3600 forcing the compiler to do it for us? (Hum! I'm not so sure.)
3601 Reported by Bruno Haible.
3603 * list.c (read_header): Initialize signed_sum to 0. Use this
3604 opportunity for slightly reorganizing the code around.
3605 Reported by Anders Andersson, Andrey A. Chernov, Bruno Haible
3608 * tar.c: Declare name_buffer_length as size_t instead of int.
3609 Reported by Andreas Schwab, J.T. Conklin, Kaveh R. Ghazi and
3612 * rmt.h: Have the NO_REMOTE case be a particular case of the
3613 other, for rmtopen and rmtcreat were not transmitting the proper
3614 number of parameters to open and creat (since 26 July 1994).
3615 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3617 * extract.c (extract_archive): Delay changing owner to after
3618 doing utime, for keeping long enough the permission of utime'ing.
3619 (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info): Idem for directories.
3620 Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.
3622 * tar.h: Change malloc_dbg to dmalloc, mutatis mutandis.
3624 * tar.h: Undefine many macros if stat macros found to be
3625 broken. Define mkfifo only if configure did not find it.
3626 Include <sys/param.h> if not _POSIX_SOURCE, then <unistd.h> if
3627 we have it, than "pathmax.h". Move _POSIX_VERSION dependent
3628 code further down. Do not declare getcwd if we do not have it.
3629 * tar.c: Do not include <unistd.h>, now in "tar.h".
3630 Reported by Bernard Chen, Jean-Michel Soenen, John L.
3631 Chmielewski and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3633 * tar.h: Define DEV_BSIZE, ST_BLKSIZE and ST_NBLOCKS,
3634 borrowing this code from both fileutils-3.9's "lib/system.h" and
3635 textutils-1.9's "system.h".
3636 * create.c (dump_file): Straighten the test for sparseness,
3637 which was requiring one block too much, most probably for trying
3638 to get around DEV_BSIZE/st_blksize confusion. Use ST_NBLOCKS,
3639 instead of computing a variable block_size and doing specific
3640 tests for HP-UX or Linux. Also rewrite the test so it works
3641 when ST_NBLOCKS is unsigned.
3642 Reported by Bruno Haible, Dean Gaudet, Dick Streefland, Harald
3643 König, Jim Meyering, Kai Petzke, Kaveh R. Ghazi and Torkel Hasle.
3645 1994-08-04 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3647 * tar.c: Do not include <unistd.h> if we do not have it.
3648 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3650 * Makefile.in (RTAPELIB): Prefix by $U for unprotoization.
3651 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and Christian T. Dum.
3653 * port.c: Remove many static specifiers.
3654 Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.
3656 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Replace system by remote, twice.
3657 Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Christian T. Dum, Demizu Noritoshi
3660 * tar.c (addname): Replace a forgotten EX_SYSTEM by
3662 Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, James W. McKelvey, Kaveh R.
3663 Ghazi and Robert E. Brown.
3665 1994-08-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3667 * Prerelease 1.11.3.
3669 * tar.c (assign_string): New routines.
3670 * create.c (dump_file, start_header), extract.c
3671 (extract_archive), list.c (list_archive, read_header),
3672 buffer.c (open_archive), diffarch.c (diff_archive): Use
3673 assign_string for setting these variables to a string value or
3675 * buffer.c (open_archive): Sets current_file_name,
3676 current_link_name and save_name to NULL.
3677 (close_archive): Free each of them if not NULL.
3678 (fl_write): Take a copy of save_name into cursor, and advance the
3679 cursor instead, because save_name should stay free-able.
3680 Reported by Dave Gentzel, Harald Anlauf, Mark Clements, Robert
3681 Weissenfels, Ronald van Loon, Tsutomu Yamada and Vic Abell.
3683 * extract.c (extract_archive): Use xstrdup, for clarity.
3684 * gnu.c (add_dir): Idem.
3686 * list.c (print_header): Correct a little bug by which
3687 non-symbolic links were not printed properly quoted.
3689 * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Allocate tmpbuf to the proper
3690 size. NAMSIZ + 2 is not necessarily enough.
3692 1994-08-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3694 * tar.h: Refresh str*/mem* configured declarations. Among
3695 other things, this will solve previously missing #undef's.
3696 * rmt.h: Revise strchr configured declaration.
3697 * *.c: Replace bzero by memset, bcopy by memcpy, bcmp by
3698 memcmp, index by strchr and rindex by strrchr.
3699 * port.c: Delete functions bzero and bcmp, said to not exist
3700 on Minix. AC_MINIX in configure.in should guarantee POSIX things.
3701 Reported by Drew Trieger, Hugh Secker-Walker and Vic Abell.
3703 * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c, update.c: Change CMD_* to COMMAND_*.
3705 * buffer.c (open_archive): Use strcmp to compare archive name
3706 to `-', instead of doing it explicitely. Just for clarity.
3708 * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c: Replace ar_files by
3709 archive_name_array, n_ar_files by archive_names and ar_files_len
3710 by allocated_archive_names. Replace the index cur_ar_file by
3711 archive_name_cursor, which is a cursor in archive_name_array.
3713 * tar.c (main): Move the initialization of
3714 archive_name_array at beginning, taken from options routine.
3715 Free it at end of main.
3716 (options): Use xrealloc instead of ck_realloc for archive_name,
3717 for the already saved names to be preserved.
3718 Reported by Per Bojsen.
3720 * tar.h, tar.c: Replace name_file by namefile_name.
3721 * tar.c: Replace n_ind by name_array, n_indused by names,
3722 n_indalloc by allocated_names, and n_indscan by name_index.
3723 Replace namef by name_file, n_argv by names_argv and n_argc by
3725 (main): Make an initial allocation for name_array at beginning,
3726 moved out from name_add, free it at end of main.
3728 * buffer.c (close_archive): Free ar_block at end.
3730 1994-07-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3732 * tar.h [WITH_MALLOC_DBG]: Include "malloc_dbg.h".
3734 * create.c (create_archive): Do not attempt creating a
3735 directory summary file if -G, since -G sets gnu_dumpfile to 0.
3736 Reported by Alexander Dupuy.
3738 * create.c (dump_file): Avoid a NULL dereference with -G when
3739 trying to dump an empty directory.
3740 * gnu.c (add_dir_name): Same thing.
3741 Reported by Rainer Orth.
3743 Correction for the improper `data differs' diagnostic given when
3744 the continuation of a multi-volume was compared.
3745 * diffarch.c (diff_archive): If multi-volume, update save_name
3746 and save_totsize before calling wantbytes.
3747 * buffer.c (wantbytes): If multi-volume, update save_sizeleft.
3748 Reported by Andreas Schwab, Denis Fortin, François Pinard,
3749 Hiroyuki Bessho, Olaf Schlueter, Simon Wright and Saul Lubkin.
3751 1994-07-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3753 * tar.c (options): Implement DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER.
3754 Reported by Danny R. Johnston.
3756 * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Use CURRENT_FILE_NAME abbreviation.
3757 * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
3758 Reported by Timothy Fossum.
3760 1994-07-29 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3762 * create.c (dump_file): Abort if no memory for a possible
3763 link, remove related bogus code, and the variable nolinks.
3764 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
3766 * create.c (dump_file): Detect file sparseness correctly for
3767 Linux ext2 filesystem.
3768 Reported by Kai Petzke.
3770 * port.c (link) [!MSDOS]: Do not call setmode.
3771 Reported by Richard Deal.
3773 Reorganization for `tar -d' to provide a different exit status.
3774 * tar.h: Replace errors by exit_status. Declare TAREXIT_*.
3775 * buffer.c (child_open): Exit with exit_status.
3776 * tar.c (main): Initialize exit_status to TAREXIT_SUCCESS, and
3777 exit with exit_status.
3778 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, gnu.c, list.c, port.c,
3779 rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Replace EXIT_FAILURE by
3780 TAREXIT_FAILURE, and EXIT_SUCCESS by TAREXIT_SUCCESS.
3781 * tar.h (ERROR), create.c (dump_file): Set exit_status to
3782 TAREXIT_FAILURE instead of increasing errors.
3783 * diffarch.c (sigh, diff_sparse_files): On differences, set
3784 exit_status to TAREXIT_DIFFERS if nothing more serious already.
3785 Reported by Tilman Schmidt.
3787 * rmt.c: Define EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS if not already.
3788 * rtapelib.c: Define EXIT_ON_EXEC_ERROR to 128 and use it.
3790 1994-07-27 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3792 * diffarch.c (sigh): Increment errors, so a difference will
3793 yield a non-zero exit status at end.
3794 Reported by Nick Holloway.
3796 * tar.h: Rename TARERROR to WARN, then add ERROR which is similar,
3797 but increments the errors counter.
3798 * *.c: Replace all TARERROR by WARN or ERROR, deciding for each
3799 case. Many errors were not reflected in exit status.
3801 Reported by Carl Streeter, Esa Karell, George Chyu, Ian Jackson,
3802 Judy Ricker, Massimo Dal Zotto, Roland McGrath, Tilman Schmidt
3805 * buffer.c (child_open): Exit with EXIT_FAILURE if any error.
3807 * rtapelib.c: Use error for reporting errors.
3808 (do_command): New name for command.
3809 (get_status): New name for status.
3811 * buffer.c: Remove definition of MAGIC_STAT.
3812 (close_archive): Do not check MAGIC_STAT for an exit value, since
3813 this value is never returned.
3815 * *.c: Use TARERROR or exit with EXIT_FAILURE, instead of various
3816 esoteric statuses. Normalize using TARERROR with an exit status,
3817 instead of calling TARERROR with 0 first, then _exit. On exit
3818 calls, use EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0.
3819 * tar.c: Do not use the exit status anymore for outputting an
3820 error counter value. Wrap around was creating spurious success.
3821 * tar.h: Remove EX_* definitions for tar exit statuses.
3822 Reported by Bob Mende and Torbjorn Granlund.
3824 1994-07-26 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3826 * tar.h: Add f_rsh_command variable.
3827 * tar.c: Add and process --rsh-command option.
3828 * buffer.c (open_archive, child_open, new_volume): Pass
3829 f_rsh_command to rmtopen and rmtcreat calls.
3830 * rmt.h (rmtopen, rmtcreat): Pass a supplementary argument.
3831 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Accept and process a command
3832 argument, to replace rsh.
3833 Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.
3835 * tar.h: Instead of including <sys/file.h> with BSD42 or
3836 <fcntl.h> for V7, merely include <fcntl.h> if it exists,
3837 otherwise <sys/file.h>.
3838 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, list.c,
3839 port.c, update.c: Do not include <fcntl.h> or
3840 <sys/file.h>, because they are indirectly included through
3843 * create.c (dump_file): Remove the BSD42 conditional. If not
3844 f_sparse_files, initialize upperbound as when not BSD42.
3845 Reported by Alan Bawden, Claude Scarpelli, Laurent
3846 Sainte-Marthe, Noah Friedman, Reuben Sumner, Tom Quinn and
3849 1994-07-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3851 * tar.h: Merely define valloc as being malloc if valloc does
3853 * port.h: Remove valloc, which was only a dummy for malloc.
3854 Reported by Cliff Krumvieda, Francois Pinard, Henrik Bakman,
3855 J.T. Conklin, Nelson H.F. Beebe and Tilman Schmidt.
3857 1994-07-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3859 * create.c (start_header): Cast NAMSIZ to size_t before
3860 comparing it to strlen result.
3861 Reported by Mark Frost.
3863 * tar.c (main): Zero out label_pattern before compiling in
3864 regular expressions, instead of using uninitialized memory.
3865 Reported by Holger Teutsch.
3867 * tar.c [!FNM_PATHNAME]: Include fnmatch.h only if unistd.h fails
3868 to define this symbol.
3869 Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Eddy ?, John
3870 Oleynick and Richard Lloyd.
3872 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, rtapelib.c, update.c:
3873 Include <sys/io/trioctl.h> before <sys/mtio.h>, if it exists.
3874 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3876 * tar.c (options): Use defined OPTION_* constants instead of
3877 anonymous numbers for long options not having a short option form.
3879 * rmt.h [!MTIOCTOP]: Do not define RMTIOCTL, so __rmt_ioctl
3880 will not be called if it has not been compiled in rtapelib.c.
3882 * tar.h: Add CMD_TOO_MANY.
3883 * tar.c (main): Use CMD_TOO_MANY, and get rid of badopt label.
3884 Reported by David J. MacKenzie.
3886 * tar.c (usage): New name for describe(). Rewritten with
3887 better help formatting and more logical grouping of options.
3888 Accepts an exit status argument. Callers adapted.
3889 Reported by Richard O'Neill.
3891 1994-07-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3893 * port.c (rename): Constify the arguments.
3894 Reported by Elmar Heeb, Jeff Prothero and John Clark.
3896 * tar.c (main): Declare version_string locally.
3897 * version.c: Deleted.
3898 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
3900 1994-07-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3902 * tar.h: Merge "port.h" towards the beginning of tar.h.
3903 Include <stdio.h> and <errno.h>, and define errno if needed.
3904 * *.c: Do not include "port.h" anymore after "tar.h", do not
3905 include <stdio.h>, <errno.h> nor <sys/types.h>. Also move
3906 "tar.h" as the first file included in every module. This
3907 would solve, among other things, the problem of RE_DUP_MAX
3908 being redefined by <limits.h>, when included after "regex.h".
3910 * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
3911 Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis,
3912 John David Anglin, Matthew Braun, Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd
3913 and Stefan Skoglund.
3915 * create.c (dump_file): Do not cast alloca result to (char *).
3916 The problem reported was that alloca result was seen as int, but
3917 with the changes just made, alloca should be properly declared.
3918 Reported by Bryant Fujimoto and Michael Kubik.
3920 1994-07-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3922 * create.c, extract.c [HAVE_UTIME_H]: Instead of _POSIX_VERSION,
3923 for choosing to include <utime.h>.
3924 Reported by Carl Swanson and Thomas Krebs.
3926 1994-07-05 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3928 * tar.c: Replace DEF_AR_FILE with DEFAULT_ARCHIVE, replace
3929 DEFBLOCKING with DEFAULT_BLOCKING.
3931 * rtapelib.c: Replace "??'" by "?? '" at two places in a
3932 comment, so avoiding Pyramid's DC/OSx compiler to complain about
3933 ANSI trigraph sequences. Even comments can trigger bugs, now!
3934 Reported by Mark Frost.
3936 * tar.h: Declare valloc.
3937 * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Remove declaration for valloc.
3939 * testpad.c: Deleted.
3940 * tar.h: Do not include "testpad.h" anymore.
3941 * Makefile.in: Delete testpad matters.
3943 * buffer.c (new_volume): Inside case 'n', strcpy into r then
3944 assign r to p, instead of strcpy'ing directly into p, for making
3945 the module const clean.
3947 1994-07-03 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3949 Rename a few variables to avoid shadowing variables or functions:
3950 * list.c (print_header): Change name to quoted_name.
3951 * buffer.c (child_open): Change pipe to local_pipe.
3952 * extract.c (extract_archive): Change namelen to namelen_bis.
3953 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Change system to remote.
3955 * tar.c (options): Add two missing arguments to getoldopt
3956 call, NULL is not necessarily implied on all systems.
3958 * list.c (print_header): Add a few missing long specification
3960 * diffarch.c (compare_chunk, diff_sparse_files): Idem.
3961 * port.c (msg, msg_perror): Idem.
3963 * tar.h: Include prototypes for all functions which call from
3964 one module to another. Declare voidstar (use it everywhere
3965 instead of PTR). Move in the include <sys/stat.h> from
3966 <port.h>, and the include of option.h from tar.c and
3967 getoldopt.c, waiting for a better solution for all these things.
3968 * port.c: Removed PTR declaration and including <sys/stat.h>.
3969 * getoldopt.c, tar.c: Remove including "option.h".
3971 1994-07-02 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3973 * *: Protoized all function headers. Added static to
3974 functions which can take it. Add many const specifiers. Remove
3977 * port.c (xmalloc): Delete function, do not mask the true one.
3978 * port.c (ck_malloc): Use xmalloc, waiting for annihilation.
3979 * port.c (ck_realloc): Use xrealloc, waiting for annihilation.
3980 * *: Begin switching from ck_malloc (or even pure malloc) to
3981 xmalloc. Same for ck_realloc (pure realloc) to xrealloc.
3982 Doing this correctly is a delicate matter, which I'll continue
3983 without reporting it anymore, while doing other modifications.
3985 * *: Replace msg and msg_perror calls by TARERROR macro calls.
3986 Capitalize first word of all error messages, remove ending
3987 punctuation or newline. Systematically avoid contractions for
3988 `Cannot' and `Could not'. Always write `WARNING:' all in capitals.
3989 * tar.h: Declare TARERROR as calling error(). Rename
3990 variable tar to program_name.
3991 * tar.c (main, options), buffer.c (child_open), port.c
3992 (msg, msg_perror), gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rename variable tar to
3994 * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Remove a spurious repetition of
3995 program_name in error message.
3997 1994-07-01 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
3999 * buffer.c, create.c extract.c, gnu.c, list.c,
4000 names.c, rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Remove all (void)
4001 prefixes to function calls. There are limits to lint clutter.
4003 1994-06-30 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
4005 * port.h: Remove definition of const. Let configure do it.
4007 * tar.h, rmt.c, rtapelib.c, version.c, testpad.c: Add a block
4008 for including <config.h> or "config.h". If "tar.h" was included
4009 everywhere, the block will only be needed there.
4011 * *.[ch]: Reindented to GNU standards (they were not far).
4012 Got rid of all `* ' left prefixes in comments and refilled them.
4013 There is still a lot of cosmetic changes needed everywhere.
4014 I will not report them any more, doing them along the way of
4015 other things in the future.
4017 * Makefile.in: New file.
4019 * Split distribution into a few subdirectories, for easing
4022 * Taking over maintenance duties.
4024 1993-08-31 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4026 * rmt.c [M_UNIX]: Include sys/tape.h instead of sys/mtio.h.
4027 Reported by Drew Sullivan and William Bader.
4029 1993-07-29 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4031 * Makefile.in (config.status): Run config.status --recheck, not
4032 configure, to get the right args passed.
4034 1993-07-19 David J. MacKenzie <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4036 * Makefile.in (libdir): Use standard GNU value --
4037 $(exec_prefix)/lib, not /etc.
4039 1993-07-08 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4041 * Makefile.in (installdirs, configure, config.status,
4042 Makefile): New targets.
4044 1993-06-14 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4046 * Makefile.in (.c.o): Put -I. before -I$(srcdir), and make
4049 1993-05-22 The King <elvis@graceland.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4051 * extract.c (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info): Print
4052 mode in octal, not in decimal.
4053 Reported by Scott S. Bertilson.
4055 1993-03-26 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4057 * configure.in: Better way of detecting HP-UX.
4058 Reported by Noah Friedman.
4060 1993-03-25 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4062 * version.c: Released version 1.11.2.
4064 * Makefile.in (dist): Do the link differently; some of the
4065 files have changed filesystems which makes it more complex.
4067 * Makefile.in (dist, shar): Use gzip instead of compress.
4069 * create.c (dump_file): Test for curdev == -1, not curdev < 0.
4070 Some losing NFS systems give negative device numbers sometimes.
4071 Reported by Thorbjxrn Willoch.
4073 1993-03-19 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4075 * buffer.c (new_volume): Write the global volume number to the
4076 volno file before running the info script, so that the script
4079 1993-03-17 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4081 * tar.c (describe, long_options): Changed --compress-block to
4083 (options): Fixed f_compress_block sanity check error message
4084 to give the correct name of the option.
4086 1993-03-16 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4088 * extract.c (extract_archive): case LF_DIR: Do chown when
4089 necessary. Don't bother jumping to set_filestat for
4090 f_modified; repeat the chmod code here. Replace `break',
4091 deleted on 2 September 1992.
4093 * tar.c (describe, long_options, options): Added gzip options
4094 and use-compress-program option.
4095 * tar.h: Added new compression options.
4096 * buffer.c (child_open, open_archive): Use new compression options.
4098 * create.c (start_header): Only mask off high bits when
4099 creating old-style archives.
4100 * list.c (decode_header): Mask off potentially misleading
4101 high bits from the mode when reading headers.
4102 Reported by Paul Eggert.
4104 1993-03-15 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4106 * extract.c (extract_archive): Put arguments in the right
4107 order for error message.
4108 Reported by Bruno Haible.
4110 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the last byte was null, we
4111 didn't write it out.
4113 * gnu.c, create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c, list.c:
4114 Replace malloc calls with ck_malloc and realloc with ck_realloc.
4115 Reported by Jonathan Kamens.
4117 * tar.c (describe): Improve doc for -L.
4119 * tar.c (name_next): Don't apply exclusion to explicitly named
4122 * tar.c (long_options, describe): Added new-volume-script as
4123 an alias for info-script.
4125 * extract.c (extract_archive): LF_DUMPDIR case; misplaced paren.
4127 * extract.c (extract_archive): extract_file case, first if,
4128 include space for null in namelen computation.
4130 * extract.c (extract_sparse_file): Use value returned by write
4131 to properly create error message.
4133 * create.c (create_archive): Don't assume we have anything to
4136 * buffer.c (open_archive): Set current_file_name for the
4137 volume header so that verbose listings work properly.
4139 * Makefile.in (realclean): Added getdate.c.
4141 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If exactly 26 elements in
4142 sparsearray, only 25 were written.
4143 Reported by Jim Murray.
4145 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the file ends with a zero
4146 block, the last byte was not written. This is fixed in create
4147 rather than extract: if amidst_data is not set at EOF, put out a
4148 block with just the last byte of the file.
4149 Reported by Jim Murray.
4151 1993-01-14 David J. MacKenzie <djm@kropotkin.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4153 * tar.c: Include fnmatch.h after port.h to make sure we get our FNM_*
4156 1992-11-24 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4158 * tar.c (addname), gnu.c (read_dir_file) [HAVE_GETCWD]: Instead of USG.
4160 * port.h, rmt.h [HAVE_STRING_H]: Instead of USG.
4162 * port.h: Add dir header decls.
4163 * create.c, gnu.c: Use SYSNDIR, SYSDIR, and NDIR
4164 instead of BSD42 and USG. Rename DP_NAMELEN to NLENGTH.
4165 Use `struct dirent' instead of `struct direct'.
4166 * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Remove dir header decls.
4168 1992-11-18 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4170 * tar.c: Change FNM_TARPATH to FNM_LEADING_DIR to match change
4173 1992-10-02 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4175 * tar.c (describe): Fix some tab alignments.
4177 * Makefile.in (SRC3): Add getdate.c, for systems without bison/yacc
4180 * diffarch.c (diff_sparse_files): Add missing arg to fprintf calls.
4182 * extract.c (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info),
4183 buffer.c (child_open), list.c (decode_header, print_header):
4186 * port.c [__MSDOS__]: Have strstr, rename, and mkdir. Don't
4189 * buffer.c, tar.c (init_volume_number, closeout_volume_number),
4190 create.c (write_long): Declare as void, not int, since they
4191 don't return a value.
4193 1992-09-22 Michael I Bushnell <mib@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4195 * buffer.c (close_archive): Removed leftover `break' from when
4198 1992-09-22 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4200 * create.c, port.h: indented #pragma directives with 1 space.
4202 1992-09-18 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4204 * All source files: re indented using GNU indent.
4206 * rtapelib.c (__rmt_read): Only read the amount left in the
4207 buffer; otherwise a broken rmt server (which puts too much
4208 data out) could overwrite past our buffer.
4210 1992-09-17 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4212 * configure.in: Check for getpwuid and getgrgid.
4213 Reported by J.T. Conklin.
4215 * create.c: Throughout, use struct utimbuf rather than array
4217 Reported by J.T. Conklin and Michael Ellis.
4219 * Makefile.in (SRC3, AUX): Move alloca.c to SRC3.
4220 (OBJ3): Add @ALLOCA@.
4222 * Makefile.in (getdate.c): Look in srcdir for getdate.y.
4224 * buffer.c (close_archive): We can't check WTERMSIG
4225 meaningfully unless we already know tha WIFSIGNALED is true.
4226 (There is no guarantee it WTERMSIG will return zero when
4227 WIFSIGNALED is false.)
4228 * port.c (rmdir, mkdir): Check WIFSIGNALED rather than
4231 * Makefile.in (getdate.c): Use $(YACC) instead of `yacc'.
4233 1992-09-15 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4235 * version.c: Released version 1.11.1.
4237 * Makefile (AUX): Added NEWS.
4239 * Makefile.in (rmt): Added $(LIBS).
4241 * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Null terminate link name for
4242 losing archives missing it.
4244 * configure.in: Added tests for libraries needed on Solaris.
4246 * Makefile.in: added target and rule for getdate.c: getdate.y;
4247 some makes don't have one built in.
4249 1992-09-14 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4251 * tar.c (options, main): Advise use of --help rather than
4253 Reported by J.T. Conklin.
4255 * create.c (write_long): Using hstat here is a Bad Idea, and
4256 totally unnecessary at that.
4258 * list.c (read_header): Compute both signed and normal
4260 Reported by Robert E. Brown.
4262 * diffarch.c, buffer.c: Declare valloc as void* rather than
4264 Reported by Robert E. Brown.
4266 * Makefile.in: Don't install info files.
4268 * port.h: Undefine index and rindex if necessary; some
4269 string.h's define them for us.
4271 * tar.c (addname): Missing braces after if.
4272 * gnu.c (read_dir_file): Missing braces after if.
4274 * names.c: Add include of <stdio.h>,
4276 * create.c (start_header): Set current_file_name so that
4277 print_header, used for verbose create, works properly.
4278 (dump_file): Set current_link_name when setting up symlink
4279 and hardlink records.
4280 Reported by Robert Crowe.
4282 * configure.in: Define BSD in the presence of /sdmach or
4284 Reported by Robert E. Brown.
4286 * configure.in: Check for malloc was scrambled.
4288 1992-09-11 David J. MacKenzie <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4290 * fnmatch.[ch]: New files.
4291 * wildmat.c: File removed.
4292 * tar.c: Include fnmatch.h and use fnmatch instead of wildmat.
4293 * Makefile.in, makefile.pc: Replace wildmat.o(bj) with fnmatch.
4295 1992-09-10 David J. MacKenzie <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4297 * buffer.c, tar.c: Remove redundant decls of getenv, rindex.
4299 * Makefile.in: Add uninstall target.
4300 Define libdir instead of hardcoding /etc for installing rmt.
4302 1992-09-10 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4304 * list.c (read_header): On second thought, that doesn't work
4305 either, so just store the names in malloced areas. Sigh.
4308 * README: Removed things that belong in NEWS; point to it.
4310 * list.c (read_header): current_file_name and
4311 current_link_name need to be set to the arrays in head rather
4312 than header; header is the actual read buffer and will change.
4314 * extract.c (extract_archive):
4315 * buffer.c (new_volume): `#' directives need to start in
4317 Reported by J.T. Conklin.
4319 1992-09-09 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4321 * version.c: Release of version 1.11.
4323 * Makefile.in (AUX): Add getpagesize.h.
4324 (AUX): Comment out manuals.
4325 (all): Comment out dependency on tar.info.
4327 * Makefile, configure.in: Arrange to use local malloc on HP-UX.
4329 * port.h Use the canonical Autoconf chunk for alloca instead
4330 of just looking for gcc.
4332 1992-09-09 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4334 * port.h: If compiling with gcc, use __builtin_alloca.
4336 1992-09-08 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4338 * extract.c: Removed long name support from here.
4339 * list.c (read_header): Understand and skip longname/longlink
4340 headers here. Names for current file are stored in new global
4341 variables. All source files except create.c changed to refer
4342 to current_file_name and current_link_name instead of fields
4343 directly from the current header.
4345 1992-09-03 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4347 * create.c (write_long): New function.
4348 (dump_file): When writing link records or symlink records, use
4349 new write_long function instead of mangling when the link
4351 (start_header): Use write_long instead of mangling for long
4353 * extract.c (saverec): Recognize LF_LONGNAME and LF_LONGLINK.
4354 (saverec): Throughout, use longname and longlink if they are set.
4356 1992-09-02 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4358 * mangle.c: This is now deprecated; retain extract_mangle for
4359 backward compatibility.
4361 * list.c (print_header): Prevent printing 0 when the gid or uid is
4363 Reported by Chris Arthur.

4366 and similarly for uid.
4367 Reported by Chris Arthur.
4369 * extract.c: saved_dir_info, saved_dir_info_head: new type and
4371 (extract_archive): When extracting directories, now save info
4372 in saved_dir_info_head.
4373 (restore_saved_dir_info): New function.
4374 * list.c (read_and): Call restore_saved_dir_info at the end of
4376 Reported by Chris Arthur.
4378 1992-08-31 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4380 * create.c (create_archive): If there are no names specified,
4381 write nothing on the archive instead of dumping ".".
4383 * buffer.c (open_archive): Useful error message.
4385 * tar.c, tar.h: Recognize f_atime_preserve.
4386 * create.c (dump_file): Implement f_atime_preserve.
4388 * rmt.h (_remdev): Don't require /dev/ to be in remote archive
4389 names; obey new force-local flag.
4390 * tar.c, tar.h: Implement new force-local flag.
4391 Reported by Roland Schemers III.
4393 * tar.c (describe): same-owner and same-order were confused.
4395 * create.c (dump_file): Check for toplevel had sense reversed.
4397 * buffer.c (new_archive): Don't free old_name...when these
4398 come from the command line, they aren't malloced, and it isn't
4399 important to save this trivial amount of memory.
4401 * tar.h: replace ar_file with ar_files, n_ar_files,
4403 * buffer.c (open_archive): multi-volume compressed archives
4404 never worked; give an appropriate error. Change open of
4405 ar_file to open of ar_files[0].
4406 (writeerror, readerror, flush_archive): use
4407 ar_files[cur_ar_file] instead of ar_file.

4411 1992-08-28 Michael I Bushnell <mib@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4413 * list.c (decode_header), create.c (start_header), tar.h (TMAGIC):
4414 Undo djm's changes below; tar does not support the final
4415 Posix.1 format; it's bad to make it look like it does.
4417 1992-07-19 David J. MacKenzie <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4419 * port.h: Try to prevent redefining major.
4420 * port.c [minix]: Implies HAVE_BZERO. Fix a typo.
4422 * list.c (decode_header): Recognize the final POSIX.1 magic as
4423 well as the early draft magic for ustar.
4424 * create.c (start_header): Create a final POSIX.1 magic string
4425 instead of an early draft string for ustar.
4426 * tar.h (TMAGIC): Remove the trailing blanks.
4428 * rmt.c, rtapelib.c: Use POSIX and STDC headers if available.

4433 * pathmax.h: New file.
4434 * port.h: Include it.
4435 * create.c (create_archive): Allocate PATH_MAX instead of
4436 NAME_MAX for temporary buffer so we don't have to figure out
4437 what NAME_MAX is (portably).
4439 1992-07-10 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4441 * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): write_dir_file has no argument.

4450 * buffer.c, diffarch.c, update.c, rtapelib.c [HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H]:
4453 * port.c, tar.h [HAVE_FOO]: Instead of FOO_MISSING.
4455 1992-06-23 David J. MacKenzie <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4457 * rmt.c: Add #ifdefs to work on ISC.
4459 1992-05-20 David J. MacKenzie <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4461 * port.h: Define major, minor, makedev if the system doesn't.
4463 1992-05-13 Michael I Bushnell <mib@apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

4466 dir_contents when get_dir_contents returns NULL.
4468 1992-05-07 Michael I Bushnell <mib@apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4470 * gnu.c (add_dir_name): Check for return of NULL from
4471 get_dir_contents; see djm's change of Fri Jul 26 01:12:58 1991.
4473 1992-05-04 David J. MacKenzie <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

4477 1992-04-29 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4479 * tar.c, tar.t: Added +volno-file option.
4480 buffer.c (init_volume_number, closeout_volume_number): New functions.
4481 tar.c (main): Call new functions in the right place.
4483 * buffer.c (fl_write, fl_read): Mod to allow losing tape
4484 drives which use short counts to indicate end of tape
4485 correctly handle the multi-tape stuff. The read half won't
4486 co-exist with f_reblock; there's no way to fix that, of
4489 * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +show-omitted-dirs.
4490 list.c (read_and): Implemented show-omitted-dirs.
4491 Reported by Karl Berry.
4493 * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +checkpoint.
4494 buffer.c (fl_read, fl_write): Implemented +checkpoint lazily.
4496 * create.c (dump_file): Added toplevel argument; some devices
4497 can be negative, so the old method was bogus. All callers
4499 Reported by Max Hailperin.
4501 * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +ignore-failed-read.
4502 create.c (dump_file): Implemented +ignore-failed-read.
4503 Reported by Bob Mende Pie.
4505 * create.c (finish_sparse_file): Commented out debugging printf.
4507 * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +remove-files to delete files
4508 after they are added to the archive.
4509 create.c (dump_file): Implemented +remove-files for
4510 everything but directories. I don't think they need it.
4512 1992-04-28 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4514 * create.c: (dump_file): save_name needs to be set equal to p,
4515 not something inside the header, because the header changes at
4516 the first buffer flush.
4518 1992-04-24 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4520 * create.c: Djm incorrectly moved the include of port.h to
4521 precede the include of sys/file.h; restored.
4523 * tar.c (main): Cases CMD_EXTRACT and CMD_LIST: declare error
4526 * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): Leave if around
4527 write_dir_file in place.
4529 1992-04-22 David J. MacKenzie <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

4533 1992-03-09 David J. MacKenzie <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4535 * rtapelib.c: Reformat and make comments more complete.

4546 1991-12-24 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4548 * tar.c, gnu.c, extract.c, create.c, port.h, rmt.h [HAVE_UNISTD_H,

4558 * port.h [MAJOR_IN_MKDEV, MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS]: To find where to
4559 get major, minor and makedev.
4560 * create.c, list.c, update.c: Don't check USG to include
4563 1991-12-12 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4565 * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Correctly null terminate name of
4568 1991-11-21 Michael I Bushnell <mib@nutrimat>
4570 * create.c (dump_file, at start of ISREG output loop): use
4571 filename from header instead of real name to make sure that we
4572 get the mangled version and not one that is too long and
4575 1991-11-16 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4577 * tar.h: Use new criteria for STDC version of msg.
4579 1991-11-02 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4581 * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c [USG]: Use DIRENT instead of NDIR to select
4582 between dirent.h and ndir.h.
4584 * port.c [FOO_MISSING]: Instead of WANT_FOO, to make sharing code
4585 and configure script with other utilities easier.
4586 [VPRINTF_MISSING, DOPRNT_MISSING]: Instead of FOO_MSG, to select
4587 error reporting routines.
4589 1991-08-29 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4591 * tar.c (long_options). Fixed info-script long option.
4592 Reported by Eric Norum.
4594 1991-08-26 David J. MacKenzie <djm@pogo.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4596 * configure, Makefile.in: Only put $< in Makefiles if VPATH
4597 is being used, because older makes don't understand it.
4599 1991-08-19 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4601 * create.c: Indent '#pragma alloca' so non-ANSI compilers
4604 1991-08-14 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4606 * list.c (UGSWIDTH): Increase from 11 (sort of like Unix tar) to
4607 18, so that with normal user and group names of <= 8 chars,
4608 the columns never shift in a tar -t listing.
4610 1991-08-02 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
4612 * Makefile.in (dist): Include texinfo.tex and tar.info*.
4613 (install): Install tar.info*.
4614 * configure: Set INSTALLDATA.
4616 * configure: Create config.status. Remove it and Makefile if
4617 interrupted while creating them.
4619 * configure: Check for +srcdir etc. arg and look for
4620 Makefile.in in that directory. Set VPATH if srcdir is not `.'.
4621 * Makefile.in: Add `prefix'.
4622 (tar.info): New target.
4624 1991-07-30 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>

4632 1991-07-27 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wombat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4634 * rmt.h: Clean up ifdefs.
4636 * makefile.pc: Fix typo.
4637 * port.h [__MSDOS__]: Instead of MSDOS.

4639 [__TURBOC__]: Use void * and don't define const.
4641 1991-07-26 David J. MacKenzie <djm@bleen>
4643 * buffer.c: Rename `eof' to `hit_eof' to avoid conflict with an
4645 * gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Return NULL, not "\0\0\0\0", on error.
4646 * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Open files in binary mode.
4647 Don't use or free a non-malloc'd return value from get_dir_contents.
4648 * msd_dir.c [__TURBOC__]: Include stdlib.h.
4649 * rmt.h: lseek returns off_t, not long.
4651 * tar.c (describe): -X is +exclude-from, not +exclude.
4652 (names_notfound): Free memory only if amiga, not !unix.
4654 * tar.h, tar.c: Add +null option to make -T read
4655 null-terminated filenames (such as those produced by GNU find
4656 -print0), and disable -C option.
4657 This guarantees that odd filenames will get archived.
4658 * tar.c (read_name_from_file): New function.
4659 (name_next): Call it instead of fgets.
4660 From David J. MacKenzie.
4662 1991-07-24 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4664 * create.c [_AIX]: Declare alloca.
4666 * buffer.c (open_archive): Check for successful open before,
4667 not after, fstatting the fd.
4669 1991-07-23 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4671 * configure: Only define BSD42 if sys/file.h exists.
4672 If alloca is missing and /usr/ucblib exists (SVR4), use it
4675 * port.h [!__STDC__]: #define const.
4676 * gnu.c (dirent_cmp): Fix args to agree with ANSI C prototype.
4677 * create.c: Declare ck_realloc.

4680 1991-07-20 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
4682 * msd_dir.[ch]: Use POSIX-style `struct dirent' instead of
4684 * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Adjust callers.
4686 1991-07-18 David J. MacKenzie <djm@bleen>
4688 * port.c (ck_malloc, ck_realloc): Return PTR, not char *.
4689 * gnu.c, create.c, tar.c: Fix decls.
4691 * port.c: Don't use the preprocessor to guess missing
4692 functions on Unix; let configure do it.
4693 [WANT_GETWD] (getwd): Function removed; not needed because
4694 getcwd is used if needed.
4695 * gnu.c, tar.c [POSIX]: Use getcwd.
4697 * rtapelib.c: Use SIGTYPE instead of testing SIGNAL_VOID.
4698 Default to void (more common these days) instead of int.
4700 * tar.c, gnu.c, mangle.c: Remove VOIDSTAR defn. Use PTR instead.
4701 * port.h: Define PTR.
4703 * gnu.c, tar.c [__MSDOS__ || USG]: Remove incorrect getcwd decl.
4704 [!POSIX]: Put correct one in port.h.
4706 * tar.c (describe): Print on stdout instead of stderr; it's
4707 not so much a usage message (since you have to ask for it
4708 explicitly) as on-line help, and you really need to be able to
4709 page it because it's more than a screen long.
4711 * Make #ifdefs for sys/file.h or fcntl.h, directory header,
4712 sys/mtio.h consistent between files. Use NO_MTIO instead of
4713 tricks with USG and HAVE_MTIO and NO_RMTIOCTL.
4714 * Move decls of ANSI C and POSIX functions to port.h and
4715 use standard headers to declare them if available
4716 [STDC_HEADERS or POSIX].
4717 * Add many missing function declarations and return types.
4718 * Some places used __MSDOS__, some MSDOS; standardize on __MSDOS__.
4719 * Change S_IF macros to S_IS for POSIX.
4720 * port.h: Define appropriate S_IS macros if missing.
4721 * port.h [POSIX]: Rename macros for testing exit status to conform to
4722 POSIX; use the system's versions if available.
4723 * Use POSIX PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN and MAXNAMLEN.
4724 * port.h: Define PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX.
4725 * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Use ck_malloc and free instead of
4726 auto arrays of size PATH_MAX or NAME_MAX, since with pathconf
4727 they might not be constants.
4728 * Move all definitions of O_* to port.h to reduce redundancy.
4729 * Make all source files that now need to include port.h do so.
4730 * port.c: Remove #undefs of WANT_* so you can use -DWANT_*
4731 when compiling, instead of having to edit port.c.
4732 [WANT_DUMB_GET_DATE] (get_date): Function removed.
4733 Even systems without bison can get bison output and compile it.
4734 [WANT_STRING] (index, rindex, bcopy, bzero, bcmp): Functions
4735 removed; the translation is now done by macros in port.h.
4736 * wildmat.c (wildmat): Use POSIX.2 '!' instead of '^' to negate
4739 1991-07-15 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4741 * testpad.c (main): Return type void.
4743 * port.c [WANT_STRING]: Don't include memory.h if NO_MEMORY_H.
4745 * create.c (dump_file) [AIX]: Fix typo, `allocate' for `alloca'.
4746 * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): Move misplaced brace out of #ifdef.
4747 Reported by Minh Tran-Le.
4749 * configure: Also look in sys/signal.h for signal decl.
4751 1991-07-10 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4753 * Rename rtape_server.c to rmt.c and rtape_lib.c to rtapelib.c.
4755 * configure, Makefile.in: $(INSTALLPROG) -> $(INSTALL).
4757 1991-07-09 David J. MacKenzie <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4759 * Most files: Refer to GPL version 2.
4760 * COPYING: Use version 2.
4762 * port.c [__TURBOC__] (utime): New function.
4764 * xmalloc: New function (just calls ck_malloc), for alloca.c
4765 and bison.simple (in getdate.y output).
4767 * Makefile.in (AUX): Include alloca.c and tcexparg.c, a
4768 command line globber for Turbo C.
4770 1991-07-08 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4772 * testpad.c: Open and write to testpad.h instead of stdout,
4773 because some MS-DOS makes (Borland's at least) can't do
4774 redirection in commands.
4775 * Makefile.in: Don't redirect testpad output.
4777 1991-07-08 Michael I Bushnell <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4779 * buffer.c (fl_read): Missing \n in printf.
4781 1991-07-08 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4783 * create.c, extract.c, gnu.c, diffarch.c, tar.c: Comment out
4786 * tar.c (options): Cast get_date arg to VOIDSTAR instead of
4787 `struct timeb *', since on some non-BSD systems the latter is
4790 1991-07-06 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4792 * Replace Makefile with configure, Makefile.in, and makefile.pc.
4793 Update README with current compilation instructions.
4795 * port.c [WANT_RENAME] (rename): New function.
4797 1991-07-03 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4799 * testpad.c (main): Avoid warning from some compilers on array
4802 * rtape_server.c (sys_errlist): Should be declared extern.
4803 Reported by Stuart Kemp.

4816 1991-06-20 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4818 * tar.h [STDC_MSG]: Use ANSI prototypes for msg and msg_perror,
4819 even if BSD42 is also.
4821 * Makefile: Replace DESTDIR with bindir.
4822 (install): Don't install tar.texinfo. There's no standard
4823 place for texinfo files, and /usr/local/man is inappropriate.
4824 Add TAGS, distclean, and realclean targets and SHELL= line.
4826 * version.c: Move old change history to bottom of ChangeLog.
4828 1991-06-12 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4830 * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_write) [SIGNAL_VOID]: Instead of USG.
4832 1991-06-05 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4834 * tar.c (name_match, addname): Ugly hack to handle -C without
4835 any files specified.
4836 tar.h (struct name): New field for ugly hack.
4838 1991-06-03 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4840 * testpad.c: New file to determine if we need special padding
4841 in struct header in tar.h.
4843 * tar.h (struct header): include padding if necessary, include
4846 * Makefile: rules to create testpad.h, etc.
4848 1991-05-22 Michael I Bushnell <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4850 * tar.c (options): -L takes an argument.
4852 * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): add /usr/bin/nsh to the list of
4853 remote shell programs.

4873 * port.c (strstr): Looking for null string should return zero.
4875 1991-05-19 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4877 * tar.c (options): -l doesn't take an argument
4879 * Makefile: Minor fix for SGI 4D defines.
4880 Reported by Andrew Torda.
4882 * rtape_server.c (main.c): For 386/AIX. I'm suspicious about this
4884 * create.c (dump_file): For hidden files on AIX.
4885 gnu.c (collect_and_sort_name, get_dir_contents): AIX hidden file mod.
4886 Reported by Minh Tran-Le.
4888 * tar.c: (name_next): Allow -C inside a file list given to -T.
4889 Reported by David Taylor.
4891 * Makefile: Comment describing presence of USE_REXEC.
4893 * extract.c (extract_archive, case LF_SPARSE): zero check for
4894 last element on numbytes needs to look at value after
4895 converted from octal.
4897 * port.c [HAVE_STRSTR]: Check it, instead of always demanding strstr.
4898 Makefile: Comment describing presence of HAVE_STRSTR option.
4900 1991-05-19 David J. MacKenzie <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4902 * port.c (get_date): Renamed from getdate, to avoid SVR4 conflict.
4903 * tar.c: Call get_date instead of getdate.
4905 1991-05-10 Noah Friedman <friedman@nutrimat>
4907 * tar.c: added "\n\" to the end of some documentation strings
4908 where they were left off.
4910 1991-05-09 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4912 * Makefile: added level-0, level-1, and backup-specs to AUX.
4913 * version.c: changed to 1.10 beta.
4914 * README: updated for 1.10 beta release.
4916 1991-04-02 Michael I Bushnell <mib@godwin>
4918 * create.c (dump_file): HPUX's st_blocks is in 1024 byte units
4919 instead of 512 like the rest of the world, so I special cased
4921 * tar.c: Undo Noah's changes.
4923 1991-04-01 Noah Friedman <friedman@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4925 (This ought to be temporary until things are fixed properly. )
4927 * tar.c: (struct option long_options): flag for "sparse" zero if
4928 compiling under hpux.
4929 tar.c: (functon options): case 'S' is a no-op if compiling under
4932 1991-03-30 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4934 * tar.h: new variable tape_length.
4936 * tar.c (options): add new option +tape-length / -L.
4938 * buffer.c (fl_write): Turn #ifdef TEST code for limited tape
4939 length on always, for tape-length option.
4941 * create.c (dump_file): avoid apollo lossage where S_IFIFO == S_IFSOCK.
4943 * buffer.c: include regex.h
4944 * buffer.c (fl_read, open_archive): Use regex routines for
4945 volume header match.
4946 * xmalloc.c: removed file; wasn't necessary.
4947 * tar.c: (main) use ck_malloc instead of xmalloc.
4949 1991-03-28 Noah Friedman <friedman@goldman>
4951 * regex.c, regex.o: New links.
4952 * tar.c: include regex.h.
4953 * Makefile (OBJ2): Add regex.o.
4954 (regex.o, tar.o): Depend on regex.h
4955 (SRC2, AUX): Add the new files.
4957 1991-03-23 Noah Friedman <friedman@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4959 * Makefile: added default flags and options for compiling under
4962 * Added files alloca.c and xmalloc.c.
4964 1991-03-23 Michael I Bushnell <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4966 * port.c [HPUX]: Define WANT_VALLOC.
4968 1991-03-15 David J. MacKenzie <djm@geech.ai.mit.edu>
4970 * rtape_lib.c [USG && !HAVE_MTIO]: Define NO_RMTIOCTL automatically.
4971 (_rmt_rexec): Temporarily re-open stdin and stdout to
4972 /dev/tty, to guarantee that rexec() can prompt and read the
4973 login name and password from the user.
4974 * Makefile: Mention -DUSE_REXEC.
4975 Reported by Pascal Meheut.
4977 1991-03-08 Michael I Bushnell <mib@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>
4979 * tar.h, Makefile [HAVE_SIZE_T]: Might be useful for some people.
4981 * gnu.c: lstat->stat define where appropriate
4983 * buffer.c (fl_write): keep track of amount written for +totals.
4984 * tar.c, tar.h: set flag f_totals from +totals option.
4985 * tar.h (f_totals, tot_written): new variables.
4986 * tar.c (main): print total written with CMD_CREATE.
4988 * tar.c (main): return appropriate exit status
4990 1991-01-17 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
4992 * port.c: Remove a spurious `+' between functions (a remnant
4993 of a context diff, apparently).
4995 1991-01-09 Michael I Bushnell <mib@pogo.ai.mit.edu>
4997 * create.c (where_is_data): Rewritten to be better, and then
4999 (deal_with_sparse): Severly pruned. Now we write or don't
5000 write only complete blocks, not worrying about partial blocks.
5001 This simplifies calculations, removes bugs, and elides the
5002 second scan through the block. The first was zero_record, the
5003 second was where_is_data.
5005 1991-01-07 Michael I Bushnell <mib@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>
5007 * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Second computation (for short
5008 reads) of numbytes increment had subtraction backwards.
5009 Need to handle calling where_is_data better when we did a
5010 short read (it might go past the end of the read), also, set
5011 sparsearray[...].offset in this case too.
5013 1991-01-04 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5015 * buffer.c: Return a special error code if the archive
5016 you're trying to read starts with a different label than
5017 the one specified on the command line.
5019 1991-01-02 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5021 * gnu.c: Prepend the current directory to the gnu_dumpfile, so that
5022 -C's won't affect where the output goes. (sigh.)
5024 1990-12-18 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5026 * gnu.c: Don't complain if the gnudumpfile we're reading info
5029 * create.c: Write out gnudumpfile after finishing writing the archive.
5031 * tar.c: Add +exclude FNAME, and make +exclude-from do what +exclude
5033 * Make +version an operation, not an option.
5034 * Add +confirmation alias for +interactive.
5036 1990-12-04 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5038 * tar.c (check_exclude): Don't let MUMBLE match MUMBLE.c or
5039 fooMUMBLE but only foo/MUMBLE.
5041 * mangle.c: New file.
5042 * create.c, extract.c: According changes.
5044 * extract.c: Don't complain when extracting an already existing link.
5045 Don't complain when extracting a directory iff it already exists.
5046 Don't ad u+wx to directories when running as root.
5047 Reported by Chip Salzenberg.
5049 * gnu.c: Make +listed-incremental work.
5050 Reported by Chip Salzenberg.
5052 * port.c: Add the F_FREESP emulation of the ftruncate syscall.
5054 1990-11-21 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5056 Remove excess \n from lots of msg() calls.
5058 1990-11-19 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5060 * tar.c: Rename +volume to +label.
5062 1990-11-16 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
5064 * tar.c (describe): Include the default values for -b and -f
5065 (as set in the Makefile) in the message.
5067 1990-11-15 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5069 * extract.c (extract_archive): Do the utime() call before the
5070 chmod() call, 'cuz some versons of utime() trash the file's mode
5073 * list.c (read_and): Call do_something on volume headers and
5074 multivol files even if they don't match the names we're looking
5077 1990-11-06 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5079 * port.c (un-quote-string): Don't try to write a null if there's
5082 1990-11-01 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5084 * buffer.c (new_volume): fflush(msg_file) before reading for
5085 confirmation on new volume. On EOF or error, print error msg and
5088 1990-10-29 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5090 * getdate.y: Use new version of getdate().
5092 * tar.c (name_add): Use sizeof(char *) instead of sizeof(int)
5094 * README: Give the correct return address.
5096 1990-10-25 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5098 rtape_lib.c [NO_RMTIOCTL]: Instead of RMTIOCTL, so it is on by default.
5100 rmt.h [NO_REMOTE]: Add _isrmt() #define.
5102 gnu.c: Add forward reference for add_dir_name().
5104 1990-10-16 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5106 Version 1.09 --- New -G file implementation of gnu-dump stuff.
5108 * tar.c (name_add): Get the calls to ck_realloc and ck_malloc right.
5110 1990-10-11 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5112 * gnu.c: Fix A couple of typos.
5114 1990-09-19 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
5116 * getdate.y [USG && !DAYLIGHT_MISSING] (ftime): Use `daylight'.
5118 1990-09-17 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5120 * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Don't use a passed char* for the
5121 file name, use skipcrud+head->header.name, just like everything
5122 else does. This means that gnu_restore will still work with
5125 1990-09-13 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5127 * tar.c (add_exclude): Don't bus-error if the exclude file doesn't
5130 1990-09-09 David J. MacKenzie <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>
5132 * Makefile (dist): Remove .fname when done.
5134 1990-09-06 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mti.edu>
5136 * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rember to skip_file() over the directory
5137 contents, even if we don't have to do anything with them.
5139 * create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c: Free sparsearray after we're
5142 1990-09-04 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5144 * Makefile: Include gnu.c in dist
5146 * gnu.c: Move add_dir above read_dir_file so that cc doesn't
5147 complain about add_dir returning void.
5149 1990-09-02 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
5151 * getdate.y: Declare some more functions and add storage
5152 classes where omitted to shut compiler up.
5153 [USG] (ftime): Don't use extern var `daylight'; appears that
5154 some systems don't have it.
5156 1990-08-29 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
5158 * getdate.y (lookup): In the code that allows `Aug.' to be
5159 recognized as `Aug', don't chop off the final `.' from words
5160 like `a.m.', so they can be recognized.
5162 1990-08-16 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5164 * buffer.c (open_archive): If -O, write verbosity to stderr
5167 1990-08-10 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5169 * getdate.y: Handle an explicit DST in the input string.
5170 Reported by Per Foreby.
5172 1990-07-16 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5174 * tar.c: rename -g -G +incremental, +listed-imcremental, etc.
5176 1990-07-13 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5178 * tar.c: Make +newer and +newer-mtime work according to their names.
5180 * gnu.c: If +newer or +newer-mtime, use the time specified on the
5183 * buffer.c, create.c: Add test to see if dimwit is trying to
5184 archive the archive.
5186 * tar.c (long_options[]): Re-ordered, so that groups of similar
5187 options are next to each other... I think.
5189 (describe): Modified to more closely reflect reality.
5191 1990-07-06 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5193 * tar.c: Add compile-time option for SYS V (?) style
5194 tape-drive names /dev/rmt/{n}[lmh]
5196 * tar.c: Fix getopt-style stuff so that -C always works correctly.
5198 * gnu.c, tar.c: Make filename to -G optional.
5200 * {all over}: Replace some fprintf(stderr...) calls with calls
5203 * port.c: Make -Dmumble_MSG option on command line override
5204 internal assumptions.
5206 * Makefile: Mention -Dmumble_MSG options
5208 1990-07-06 David J. MacKenzie <djm@apple-gunkies>
5210 * tar.c (options): Don't change `c' if it is 0, as getopt now
5211 handles that internally.
5213 1990-07-02 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5215 * gnu.c (new file): Moved all the f_gnudump stuff here where we
5216 can keep track of it easier. Also made -G take a file name where
5217 it stores the inode information about directories so that we can
5218 detect moved directores.
5220 * create.c (dump_file): Changed slightly to work with the new
5223 * tar.c: Moved the f_gnudump stuff to gnu.c
5225 * tar.c, extract.c: Added the +do-chown option, which forces tar
5226 to always try to chown the created files to their original owners.
5228 * version.c: New version 1.09
5230 1990-06-24 David J. MacKenzie <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>
5232 * create.c: Change ifdefs for directory library header
5233 selection to be like the ones in tar.c.
5234 * Makefile [Xenix]: Link with -ldir to get the dirent.h
5237 1990-06-07 David J. MacKenzie <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>
5239 * Makefile, buffer.c, diffarch.c [HAVE_MTIO]: Instead of MTIO, as
5240 SCO Xenix defines 'MTIO' for an incompatible tape driver system in
5241 a file included by termio.h.
5242 * tar.h: Don't define size_t for Xenix.
5244 1990-06-05 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5246 * create.c (dump_file): Only print the
5247 "... is on a different filesystem..." if f_verbose is on.
5248 also add a case for S_IFSOCK and treat it like a FIFO.
5249 (Not sure if that's the right thing to do or not, but it's better
5250 than all those Unknown File Type msgs.)
5252 1990-05-31 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5254 * port.c [sparc]: Use instead of SPARC since the lowercase version
5255 is defined, and the uppercase one isn't.
5257 1990-05-22 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5259 * port.c (ck_malloc): if size==0 pretend size=1
5260 (ck_realloc): if(!ptr) call ck_malloc instead.
5262 1990-05-15 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5264 * diffarch.c (diff_archive): If not f_absolute_paths, and attempt
5265 to open a file listed in the archive fails, try /filename also.
5266 This will allow diff to open the wrong file if both /filename and
5267 filename exist, but there's nothing we can do about that.
5269 1990-05-11 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5271 * Makefile: Describe new -DMTIO option.
5273 * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Change ifdefs slightly, so that -DMTIO
5274 will include sys/mtio.h even if USG is defined. This is for HPUX
5275 and similar BSD/USG crossovers.
5277 1990-05-08 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5279 * update.c (update_archive): Call reset_eof() when appropriate.
5281 * buffer.c (reset_eof): New function, that turns of EOF flag, and
5282 re-sets the ar_record and ar_last pointers. This will allow
5283 'tar rf non-existant-file' to not core-dump.
5285 1990-05-04 David J. MacKenzie <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>
5287 * tar.c: Recognize the +sparse option. It was documented, but
5288 only the short form (-S) was actually recognized.
5290 1990-04-17 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5292 * create.c: Don't access location 0 if ->dir_contents is null.
5294 1990-04-11 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5296 * buffer.c (flush_archive, close_archive, new_volume): Always
5297 check the return value of rmtclose(), and only give a warning msg
5298 if it is <0. Some device drivers (including Sun floppy disk, and
5299 HP streaming tape) return -1 after an IO error (or something like
5302 1990-03-23 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@mole.ai.mit.edu>
5304 * tar.c (long_options): Make it so +append +extract +list +update
5305 +catenate and +delete don't take arguments.
5307 1990-03-12 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5309 * buffer.c (open_archive, fl_write): Set the mtime of the volume
5310 header to the current time.
5312 1990-03-07 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5314 * buffer.c Fix +compress-block A two character patch from
5316 Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__.
5317 (new_volume): If open of new archive fails, ask again, as it
5318 probably is user error.
5320 * tar.c: Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__
5322 * port.c: Clean up #ifdef and #defines a bit.
5323 (quote_copy_string): Sometimes the malloc'd buffer would be up to
5324 two characters too short.
5326 * extract.c (extract_archive): Don't declare ind static.
5328 * create.c (dump_file): Don't declare index_offset static.
5330 * diffarch.c: Remove diff_name variable, and always use
5331 head->header.name, which will always work, unlike diff_name, which
5332 becomes trash when the next block is read in.
5334 1990-03-01 Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>
5336 * Makefile: Mention the -NO_REMOTE option.
5337 * port.c [i386]: Fix typo, and define WANT_FTRUNCATE.
5339 1990-02-26 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@pogo.ai.mit.edu>
5341 * getdate.y: Declare yylex and yyerror as static.
5342 #define yyparse to getdate_yyparse.
5344 1990-02-25 David J. MacKenzie <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>
5346 * tar.c: Remove +old option, since it is a valid abbreviation of
5347 +old-archive, which does the same thing.
5348 (describe): A few small cleanups in message.
5350 1990-02-05 Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>
5352 * port.c [sparc]: Define LOSING_MSG, since doprnt_msg doesn't work.
5353 [WANT_GETWD]: Fix typo.
5355 1990-01-26 Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>
5357 Version 1.08 --- Sparse file support added. Also various other
5360 * diffarch.c (compare_chunk): Include correct arguments in
5361 a call to fprintf() for an error msg.
5362 (compare_chunks, compare_dir): First argument is a long, not an int.
5364 * tar.c (options): Use tar variable (argv[0]) as the name to print
5365 in an error msg, instead of a constant "tar".
5366 (confirm): Use external variable char TTY_NAME[] for name of file
5367 to open for confirmation input.
5369 * buffer.c (new_volume): Ditto.
5371 * port.c: Add declaration for TTY_NAME[].
5373 * rmt.h: Add long declarations for lseek() and __rmt_lseek();
5375 1990-01-23 Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>
5377 * tar.c, create.c: Create the +newer-mtime option, which is like
5378 +newer, but only looks for files whose mtime is newer than the
5381 * rtape_lib.c [USG]: Make *both* instances of signal-handler stuff
5384 1990-01-11 Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>
5386 * getdate.y : Parse European dates of the form YYMMDD.
5387 In ftime(): Init timezone by calling localtime(), and remember that
5388 timezone is in seconds, but we want timeb->timezone to be in minutes.
5389 Reported by Jörgen Haegg.
5391 * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): Also look for /usr/bsd/rsh.
5392 Declare signal handler as returning void instead of int if USG is
5395 * port.c: Declare WANT_GETWD for SGI 4-D IRIS.
5397 * Makefile: Include defines for SGI 4D version.
5398 Reported by Mike Muuss.
5400 * buffer.c (fl_read): Work properly on broken Ultrix systems where
5401 read() returns -1 with errno==ENOSPC on end of tape. Correctly go
5402 on to the next volume if f_multivol.
5404 * list.c (list_archive, print_header): Flush msg_file after
5407 * port.c: Delete unused references to alloca().
5408 Don't crash if malloc() returns zero in quote_copy_string.
5409 Flush stderr in msg() and msg_perror().
5411 * tar.c: Flush msg_file after printing confirmation msg.
5413 1990-01-10 David J. MacKenzie <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5415 * tar.c (main): Change -help option and references to it to +help,
5416 and remove suggestion to run info (which is unreleased, so not
5417 likely to be of any help).
5419 1990-01-09 Jay Fenlason <hack @wookumz>
5421 * create.c (dump_file): Close file descriptor if start_header()
5423 (dump_file): Change test for `./'-ness to not think that `.' {any
5424 character} is a `./'.
5425 Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.
5427 * diffarch.c (diff_init): Print correct number of bytes in error
5430 1990-01-09 David J. MacKenzie <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5432 * Makefile: Add comment at top noting that two source files also
5433 contain #defines that might need to be changed by hand.
5435 * create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c: Change L_SET to 0 in lseek
5436 calls, because only BSD defines it.
5437 * create.c (dump_file) [BSD42]: Make sparse file checking code
5438 conditional because it uses st_blocks, which the other systems lack.
5440 1990-01-02 Jay Fenlason <hack@gnu>
5442 * port.c (quote_copy_string): Fix so it doesn't scramble memory if
5443 the last character is non-printable.
5444 Reported by Kian-Tat Lim.
5446 1989-12-19 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@pogo>
5448 * port.c [BSD42]: Define DOPRNT_MSG.
5449 tar.h [BSD42]: Do not prototype msg{,_perror}.
5451 1989-12-08 Jay Fenlason <hack@gnu>
5453 * create.c (dump_file): Remove typo in msg.
5455 1989-12-01 David J. MacKenzie <djm@trix>
5457 * Makefile: Remove comments referring to certain systems lacking
5458 getopt, since it is now provided always and needed by all systems.
5460 * port.c: Remove copy of getopt.c, as it is now linked in
5461 separately to always get the current version.
5463 * tar.c: Rename +cat-tars option to +catenate or +concatenate,
5464 and +local-filesystem to +one-file-system (preferred by rms
5465 and used in GNU cp for the same purpose).
5466 (describe): Reflect changes.
5468 1989-11-28 David J. MacKenzie <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5470 * port.c: Move declaration of alloca into #else /* sparc */
5471 so it will compile on sparcs.
5473 1989-11-27 David J. MacKenzie <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5475 * tar.c (options): Remove -version option (replaced by +version).
5476 (describe): Mention long options.
5478 1989-11-25 David J. MacKenzie <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5480 * getoldopt.c (getoldopt): Make `opt_index' argument a pointer to
5483 * tar.c: Modify long options per rms's suggestions:
5484 Make preserve-permissions an alias for same-permissions.
5485 Make preserve-order an alias for same-order.
5486 Define preserve to mean both of those combined.
5487 Make old an alias for old-archive.
5488 Make portability an alias for old-archive, also.
5489 Rename sym-links to dereference.
5490 Rename gnudump to incremental.
5491 Rename filename to file.
5492 Make compare an alias for diff. Leave diff but prefer compare.
5493 Rename blocking-factor to block-size.
5494 Rename chdir to directory.
5495 Make uncompress an alias for compress.
5496 Rename confirm to interactive.
5497 Make get an alias for extract.
5498 Rename volume-header to volume.
5500 Also make +version an alias for -version.
5502 (options): Shorten code that interprets long options by using
5503 the equivalent short options' code. This also makes it tons
5504 easier to change the long options.
5506 (describe): Make usage message more internally consistent
5509 1989-11-20 hack@ai.mit.edu
5511 * list.c (read_and): Call check_exclude() to see if the files
5512 should be skipped on extract or list.
5514 1989-11-09 Jim Kingdon <kingdon@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>
5516 * buffer.c (fl_read): Fix typos in error message
5517 "tar EOF not on block boundary".
5519 1989-10-23 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5521 * tar.c (long_options[]): Add an option for blocked compression.
5523 1989-10-19 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5525 * buffer.c (writeerror): Print a more useful error msg.
5527 1989-09-27 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5529 * tar.c (main): Mention "tar -help" if the luser types a non-workable
5532 1989-09-11 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5534 * tar.c (options): Have -F correctly set info_script.
5536 1989-08-29 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5538 * Makefile Include ChangeLog in tar.tar and tar.tar.Z
5540 1989-08-28 <hack@ai.mit.edu>
5542 * tar.c (options) Made -F imply -M.
5543 Also remind tar that the -f option takes an argument!
5545 * Modified -F option to make it do what (I think) it
5546 should. e.g, if you say -F, tar won't send a msg to
5547 msg_file and wait for a <return> It'll just run the program
5548 it was given, and when the prog returns, the new tape had
5549 *better* be ready...
5551 * buffer.c (open_archive): Give error message and abort if
5552 the luser didn't give an archive name.
5554 1989-08-25 Joy Kendall <jak@hobbes>
5556 * Added code to make a new option to run a specified script at
5557 the end of each tape in a multi-volume backup. Changed: tar.c:
5558 made new switch, -F, and new long-named option, "info-script".
5559 Code is where you would expect.
5560 * tar.h: added flag f_run_script_at_end, and an extern char *
5561 called info_script, which optarg gets set to.
5562 * buffer.c (new_volume): if f_run_script_at_end is set, we give
5563 info_script to system(), otherwise we do what we've always done.
5565 1989-08-24 Joy Kendall <jak@spiff>
5566 (These changes made over the course of 6/89 - 8/89)
5568 * diffarch.c: diff_archive: Added switches for LF_SPARSE in the
5569 case statements that needed it. Also, skip any extended headers
5570 if we need to when we skip over a file. (need to change the bit
5571 about, if the size doesn't agree AND the file is NOT sparse,
5572 then there's a discrepancy, because I added another field to
5573 the header which should be able to deal with the sizes): If
5574 the file is sparse, call the added routine "diff_sparse_files"
5575 to compare. Also added routine "fill_in_sparse_array".
5577 * extract.c: extract_archive: added the switch LF_SPARSE to the
5578 case statement as needed, and code to treat the sparse file.
5579 At label "again_file", modified opening the file to see if we
5580 should have O_APPEND be one of the modes. Added code at label
5581 "extract_file" to call the new routine "extract_sparse_file"
5582 when we have an LF_SPARSE flag.
5584 Note: really should erase the commented-out code in there,
5585 because it's confusing.
5587 * update.c: made sure that if a file needed to be "skipped"
5588 over, it would check to see if the linkflag was sparse, and if
5589 so, would then make sure to skip over any "extended headers"
5590 that might come after the header itself. Do so by calling
5591 "skip_extended_headers".
5593 * create.c: create_archive: added code to detect a sparse file
5594 when in the long case statement. Added ways to detect extended
5595 headers, and label "extend" (ack! should get rid of that, is
5596 atrocious). Call the new routine "finish_sparse_file" if the
5597 linkflag is LF_SPARSE to write the info to the tape. Also added
5598 routines "init_sparsearray", "deal_with_sparse", "clear_buffer",
5599 "where_is_data", "zero_record", and "find_new_file_size".
5601 * tar.h: Added the #define's SPARSE_EXT_HDR and SPARSE_IN_HDR.
5602 Added the struct sparse and the struct sp_array. Added the
5603 linkflag LF_SPARSE. Changed the tar header in several ways:
5604 - added an array of struct sparse's SPARSE_IN_HDR long
5605 - added a char flag isextended
5606 - added a char string realsize to store the true size of a sparse file
5607 Added another choice to the union record called a struct
5608 extended_header, which is an array of 21 struct sparse's and a
5609 char isextended flag. Added flag f_sparse_file to list of flags.
5611 * tar.c: added long-named options to make tar compatible with
5612 getopt_long, changed Makefile.
5614 1989-03-03 David MacKenzie (edf at rocky2.rockefeller.edu)
5615 (I'm not completely sure all these have been integrated -- FP.)
5617 * buffer.c [USG]: ifdef'd out #include <sys/file.h>.
5618 (close_archive): SysV doesn't have ftruncate, so substituted
5619 fmtwrite (just copied the code for MS-DOS).
5620 * create.c: Unos lacks <sys/sysmacros.h> so provided a substitute.
5621 (start_header): Only strip leading paths if f_relative_paths is true.
5623 (extract_archive): Only strip leading paths if
5624 f_relative_paths is true. Because the Unos filesystem has
5625 only one timestamp, moved the utime call to after the chown
5627 * getdate.y: Don't define ftime if Unos.
5628 * list.c: Defined size_t for Unos. [USG]: Don't include <sys/file.h>.
5629 Define <sys/sysmacros> stuff manually for Unos.
5630 (decode_header): Add braces around switch cases; some compilers
5632 (print_header): Changed UGSWIDTH from 11 to 25 because the smaller
5633 value made tape listings of files owned by more than one user
5634 gradually get wider, making them hard to read.
5635 * port.c: Don't include <sys/file.h> if SysV. Define
5637 (mkdir): Add code to support Unos makedir sys call.
5638 (getopt): Use malloc instead of alloca, because tar doesn't
5639 use alloca anywhere else and many systems lack it. A few other
5640 changes from the current version of getopt.c incorporated.
5641 * rtape_lib.c: Undefine RMTIOCTL. Doesn't seem to be needed,
5642 and can't compile on Unos/SysV with it defined. Might need to be
5644 * tar.c: Alias addname to add_name and rmdir to deldir on Unos
5645 due to C library weirdness.
5646 (options): Recognize new -P option to set f_relative paths.
5647 (describe): Clean up error message and add -P description.
5648 * tar.h: Add variable, f_relative_paths, to cause tar to strip
5649 leading `/' characters in pathnames during create and extract.
5650 * tar.texinfo: Fixed a couple of typos, detected by texi2roff.
5651 * update.c: Simulate <sys/sysmacros.h> for Unos.
5653 Previous releases by Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)
5655 * Version 1.07 --- New version to go on beta tape with GCC 1.35.
5656 Better USG support. Also support for __builtin_alloca if we're
5659 * diffarch.c: Include the correct header files so MTIOCTOP
5661 * tar.c: Don't print the verbose list of options unless
5662 given -help. The list of options is *way* too long.
5664 * Version 1.06 --- [__STDC__]: Use STDC_MSG.
5665 ENXIO meand end-of-volume in archive (for the UNIX PC)
5666 Added break after volume-header case (line 440) extract.c
5667 Added patch to rtape_lib.c (reported by Arnold Robbins).
5668 Added f_absolute_paths option.
5669 Deleted refereces to UN*X manual sections (dump(8), etc)
5670 Fixed to not core-dump on illegal options
5671 Modified msg_perror to call perror("") instead of perror(0)
5673 Fixed tar.c so 'tar cf - -C dir' doesn't core-dump
5674 tar.c (name_match): Fixed to chdir() to the appropriate
5675 directory if the matching name's change_dir is set. This
5676 makes tar xv -C foo {files} work.
5678 * Version 1.05 --- A fix to make confirm() work when the archive is
5679 on stdin; include 'extern FILE *msg_file;' in pr_mkdir().
5680 * tar.h [__STDC__]: Fix to work.
5682 Added to port.c: mkdir() ftruncate(): Removed: lstat()
5683 Fixed -G to work with -X
5684 Another fix to tar.texinfo
5685 Changed tar.c to say argv[0]":you must specify exactly ...
5686 buffer.c: modified child_open() to keep tar from hanging when
5687 it is done reading/writing a compressed archive
5688 added fflush(msg_file) before printing error messages
5689 create.c: fixed to make link_names non-absolute
5691 * Version 1.04 --- Added functions msg() and msg_perror(): Modified
5692 all the files to call them. Also checked that all (I hope) calls
5693 to msg_perror() have a valid errno value.
5694 (modified anno() to leave errno alone), etc.
5695 Re-fixed the -X option. This time for sure...
5696 re-modified the msg stuff. flushed anno() completely
5697 Modified the directory stuff so it should work on sysV boxes
5698 added ftime() to getdate.y
5699 Fixed un_quote_string() so it won't wedge on \" Also fixed
5700 \ddd (like \123, etc)
5701 More fixes to tar.texinfo
5703 * Version 1.03 --- Fixed buffer.c so 'tar tzf NON_EXISTENT_FILE'
5704 returns an error message instead of hanging forever.
5705 More fixes to tar.texinfo.
5707 * Version 1.02 --- Fixed tar.c so 'tar -h' and 'tar -v' don't cause
5708 core dump. Also fixed the 'usage' message to be more up-to-date.
5709 * diffarch.c [!MTIOCTOP]: Fixed so verify should compile.
5711 * Version 1.01 --- Fixed typoes in tar.texinfo.
5712 Fixed a bug in the #define for rmtcreat().
5713 Fixed the -X option to not call realloc() of 0.
5715 * Version 1.00 --- version.c added. -version option added.
5716 Installed new version of the remote-tape library.
5720 ----- tests/ChangeLog -----
5722 1997-04-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5726 * gzip.sh, ignfail.sh: Adjust to new delayed error exit message.
5728 * Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Define as preset, so preset is
5729 regenerated if configuration changes.
5731 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Nevertheless include delete01.sh.
5732 (POSTPONED_TESTS): Adjusted.
5733 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
5735 * delete02.sh: Mention f - explicitly, do not assume it, in case
5736 $TAPE is defined or the default archive has been overridden.
5737 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
5739 1997-04-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5741 * after: Unredirect stdout and stderr before removing the files.
5742 If redirections are to NFS files, removing them while they are
5743 still opened may have strange effects, failing almost all tests.
5744 Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
5746 1997-04-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5750 * extrac03.sh: New file.

5764 Reported by Vince Del Vecchio.
5766 * Makefile.am (POSTPONED_TESTS): To contain the --delete tests.
5768 (EXTRA_DIST): Include $(POSTPONED_TESTS). The purpose is getting
5769 the tests distributed, but not executed. These flaky tests are to
5770 be addressed only after 1.12 is released.
5772 1997-04-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5774 * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Declare ../src/ansi2knr.

5789 Reported by John David Anglin.
5791 1997-04-12 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5793 * genfile.c (pattern): Remove trailing comma for last enum item.
5794 Reported by Bruno Haible.

5804 Reported by Ralph Schleicher.
5806 1997-03-24 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5808 * genfile.c: Implement --pattern=default/zeros.
5810 1997-02-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5813 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjusted.
5814 Reported by Daniel Trinkle.
5816 1997-01-21 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5818 * extrac01.sh: New name for extract.sh.
5819 * extrac02.sh: New file.
5820 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjusted.
5821 Reported by Axel Boldt.
5823 1996-11-25 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5825 * genfile.c (usage): Typo in message.
5826 Reported by Christian Kirsch.
5828 1996-11-22 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5830 * incremen.sh: New file.
5831 Reported by Wolfram Wagner.
5833 * append.sh, delete.sh: New files.
5834 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjusted.
5835 Reported by Andreas Schwab.
5837 * before: Ensure .. on PATH, so genfile may be found.
5838 * Makefile.am ($(TESTS)): Depend on genfile, waiting for Automake
5839 to be adjusted to do the proper thing for parallel make.
5841 * gzip.sh: New name for childerr.sh.
5842 * extract.sh: New name for direxist.sh.
5843 * volume.sh: New name for volcheck.sh.
5844 * Makefile.am: Adjusted.
5846 * All tests: Use set -e whenever appropriate. Use "" instead of
5847 '' for out and err, so allowing us to use escaped newlines. In
5848 case of multiple output in a single test, ensure separator lines.
5850 1996-11-06 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5852 * Prerelease 1.11.13.
5854 * childerr.sh, direxist.sh, volcheck.sh: Use sh, not bash.
5855 Reported by John David Anglin.
5857 1996-09-20 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5860 * Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjusted.
5862 1996-09-19 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5864 * Prerelease 1.11.12.
5866 * Makefile.am ($(TESTS)): Depend on preset.
5867 * version.sh (PATH): Adjust for multi-line --version output.
5868 * preset.in (LANG, LANGUAGE): Export them, so gzip does not
5869 localise its own output.
5870 (echo_n, echo_c): Define from the result of echo configuration.
5871 * after: Handle echo with newline suppressed.
5873 1996-09-09 François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
5875 * childerr.sh, direxist.sh, before, after: New files.
5876 * Makefile.am: Adjusted.

5880 * ChangeLog, Makefile.am, pretest.in, version.sh: New files.
5881 * checktar.sh, genfile.c: New files, moved from src/.
5883 A regression test is an old dream for GNU tar.
5884 Reported by Tom Tromey and Robert Bernstein.
