+----- ChangeLog -----
+
+1997-04-25  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Release 1.12.
+
+	* configure.in: Check for the inline keyword.
+
+1997-04-24  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.am (BABYL): Delete admin/RMAIL, renamed rmail/announce.
+
+	* PORTS: New file.
+	(EXTRA_DIST): Adjusted.
+
+1997-04-23  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* BI-PATCHES: Patches for Bison 1.25.
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Adjusted.
+

+
+1997-04-22  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Prerelease 1.11q.
+
+	* configure.in: Use gethostent instead of gethostbyname while
+	checking for -lnsl.  It seems SINIX systems require this.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+1997-04-19  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* acinclude.m4: New fp_WITH_INCLUDED_MALLOC macro.
+	* configure.in: Use it instead of the HP/UX test for GNU malloc.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+1997-04-17  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Prerelease 1.11p.
+
+	* acinclude.m4 (cl_FUNC_GMALLOC): New macro, yet still unused, as
+	it requires config.guess.  I have to think more about this.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+1997-04-16  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* AC-PATCHES: Patches for Autoconf 2.12.

+
+1997-04-12  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+	* configure.in: Add fnmatch.o to LIBOBJS if AC_FUNC_FNMATCH
+	says no working copy was found.  This is not done automatically.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible, Bryant Fujimoto, John David Anglin,
+	Kaveh R. Ghazi, Laurent Caillat-Vallet, Sakai Kiyotaka and
+	Santiago Vila Doncel.

+	Reported by Larry Schwimmer.
+
+1997-04-11  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Prerelease 1.11o.
+
+	* configure.in: Do not check for gettimeofday anymore.
+
+	* configure.in: Do not anymore blindly add -lnsl if gethostname
+	is found, nor -lsocket if setsockopt is found.  Instead, for
+	resolving setsockopt, try none, -lsocket, and -lsocket -lnsl,
+	in that order.  For resoving gethostbyname, try none, than -lnsl.
+	Reported by Ariel Faigon, Heiko Schlichting, Jean-Philippe
+	Martin-Flatin, John J. Szetela, John R. Vanderpool, Kaveh
+	R. Ghazi, Larry Schwimmer, Marcus Daniels, Mark Bynum and

+
+1995-12-19  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+

+
+1995-11-06  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* acconfig.h: Document HAVE_STPCPY for the time being.  I do not
+	understand yet why this is mandatory: it should be automatic
+	from AC_CHECK_FUNCS(stpcpy) in aclocal.m4, through autoheader.
+
+	* configure.in: Use fp_FUNC_FNMATCH, to get around non-working
+	versions on SCO Unix 3.2v4.2, and Solaris.

+
+	* configure.in: For mknod, also include <sys/types.h> prior to
+	<sys/stat.h>, as Ultrix needs this.
+	Reported by Bruce Jerrick, Bryant Fujimoto, Conrad Hughes, Erich
+	Stefan Boleyn, Jason R. Mastaler, Joshua R. Poulson, Jurgen Botz,
+	Serge Granik, Simon Wright, Ulrich Drepper and Vince Del Vecchio.
+
+	* configure.in: Replace execlp as needed (for Minix, mainly).

+	systems will not define the structure without _POSIX_SOURCE.
+	* acconfig.h: Document HAVE_UTIME_H.
+	Reported by James W. McKelvey and Robert E. Brown.
+
+	* configure.in: Instead of replacing strstr, check for it, so

+
+1994-08-09  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Updated for Autoconf 2.0.
+
+1994-08-08  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+
+1994-08-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Remove padding test.
+	* acconfig.h: Remove PADDING_IN_TAR_HEADER.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.

+
+	* aclocal.m4: Adapt AC_PROTOTYPES to caching.
+
+	* Using configure as generated by a more recent Autoconf solves a
+	problem of rename being rejected on HP-UX in ANSI mode, because of
+	a conflicting prototype from <stdio.h>.  In this context, Autoconf
+	now uses ctype.c instead for defining __stub macros.
+	Reported by Alan Modra, Burkhard Plache, Edward Welbourne,
+	Henrik Bakman, Jeffrey Goldberg, Jim Farrell, Kimmy Posey,
+	Michael Maass, Mike Nolan, Richard Lloyd, Robert McGraw,

+	Schmidt, Tim Ramsey, Van Snyder and W. Phillip Moore.
+
+1994-07-26  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+	* acconfig.h: Remove BSD42.
+
+1994-07-24  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Add gmalloc.o to LIBOBJS, instead of AC_SUBST'ing

+1994-07-06  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Check for <utime.h>.
+
+1994-07-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in:  Substitute DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING

+	decide the default archive, because it is often symlinked right.
+	* acconfig.h: Explain DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING.
+
+	* configure.in: Use AC_SET_MAKE.
+	* Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@.

+1994-07-02  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Check for -linet, this library is required on
+	a few systems for gettimeofday() or getservbyname().  Also, on ISC
+	4.0, this avoids a broken version of rename().
+	Reported by Dean Gaudet, Goeran Uddeborg, Mike Rogers and
+	Peder Chr. Norgaard.
+
+	* configure.in: Ensure -lsocket is tested after -lnsl.  This is
+	required in particular for SINIX-Z, an SVR4.0 system.
+	Reported by Manfred Weichel and Mark Frost.
+
+	* configure.in: All tests reordered for clarity.
+
+1994-07-01  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Use AC_TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, test for <sys/time.h>.
+	This should solve the problem of multiple inclusions of <time.h>.
+	Also, also check for <sys/timeb.h>, for getdate.y tests this.
+	Reported by Jim Meyering, John Rouillard, Karl Berry and Rick
+	Emerson.
+
+1994-06-30  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: AC_CONST was already added since 1.11.2, but no
+	ChangeLog entry for it, so here is one, with list of reporters.
+	* AIX 3.2 RS/6000 IBM's compiler was unable to compile regex.c,
+	this might be solved already through improved Autoconf tests.

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

+
+1993-11-24  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* dump-remind: Send mail notification to the original recipients
+	that the dump has been continued when that is the case.
+
+1993-03-31  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Put logfile in `log' subdirectory.
+
+1993-03-28  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* dump-remind (volno): Don't increment by one.
+
+1993-03-25  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use `--block-size', not just
+	`--block', which is now ambiguous.
+
+1993-03-24  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* backup-specs (TAR): New variable.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Get path of GNU tar from `TAR'
+	variable, don't hardcode it.
+
+1993-03-20  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): put backslashes in front of nested
+	double quotes.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (BACKUP_DIRS): Don't put in quotes.
+	(LOGFILE): Use sed to construct name, not awk.
+
+	* dump-remind (recipients): Replaced inefficient pipeline with a
+	single, simple sed script.
+	(volno): Deal with the possibility that VOLNO_FILE may not be
+	created yet.
+
+1993-03-19  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* backup-specs (VOLNO_FILE): Removed abusive comment by Noah.
+
+1993-03-18  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.in (AUX): Include `dump-remind' in distribution.
+
+	* backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): New variable.
+	level-0, level-1: Use it instead of external `dont_touch' file.
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Put most of the script in () and pipe
+	everything from the subshell through tee -a $LOGFILE.  Since you
+	really want most of the output to go to the logfile anyway, and
+	since all those pipelines were preventing one from getting the
+	exit status of most commands, this seems like the right idea.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Use YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format
+	for log file name, since that makes the file names sortable in a
+	coherent way.  Suffix should always be `level-n' where n is the
+	dump level.  level-0 script was just using `-full' instead.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (DUMP_LEVEL): New variable.  Set to `0' or `1'
+	in each script as appropriate.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (HOST): Renamed to `localhost' for clarity.
+	(host): renamed to `remotehost' for clarity.
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (startdate): New variable.  Use it in Subject
+	line of mailed report.
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Fixed all instances where sed is called with a
+	script on the command line to use `-e' option.
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Don't try to call logfile.sed to filter
+	LOGFILE.  It's not distributed with tar and was never really used
+	anyway.
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Put quotes around most variable names (barring
+	those that are known to intentionally contain text that should be
+	expanded into multiple words, like `TAR_PART1').
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Got rid of annoying trailing backslashes in awk
+	scripts.  They were gratuitous.  Made them a little more readable
+	by adding some whitespace.
+
+1992-10-21  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1: put curly braces around variables for clarity.
+
+	* backup-specs (DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT): define it (but commented out
+	so that distributed dump scripts won't use it by default).
+	level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): use --info-script if
+	DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT is defined.
+	dump-remind: new file (intended as an example).
+
+1992-10-15  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1: remove $LOGFILE.tmp files before exiting.
+
+1992-09-24  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): remove --atime-preserve
+	because of a total screw.
+
+1992-09-10  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): put --atime-preserve inside quotes.
+
+1992-09-09  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use --atime-preserve.
+
+1992-07-10  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Avoid silly Sun awk lossage.
+
+1992-04-30  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-1: Added `$' before VOLNO_FILE in definition of TAR_PART1.
+        Added line to remove $VOLNO_FILE from any previous dump before
+        starting.
+
+	* level-0, level-1: Change long options to use `--' instead of `+'
+        (support for `+' will go away soon)
+
+1991-10-17  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0: Repair damage from previous mod: stdin to rsh must
+	be the terminal or tar's questions lose.
+
+1991-08-31  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* level-0: Fixed several syntax errors associated with
+	stdout/stderr redirection.
+	Made sure remote host executes commands from sh where redirection
+	is necessary, since root's shell might be csh in some places and
+	the redirect syntax differs.
+
+1991-07-01  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Fix a misplaced quote in level-0 and change some >& into
+	2>&1.

+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): Chain the last partial zero block

+
+1997-03-21  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+

+
+1997-03-20  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* compare.c: Always call report_difference when there is a

+	message string if necessary, so avoiding stdargs/varargs.
+	(report_difference): If NULL argument, just set the exit status
+	without reporting a message.  Move out the word `differs'
+	in all callers, do not insert into an English message.

+	* compare.c: Remove different as a global variable, it is useless.
+	(diff_sparse_files): Make different a local variable, reinitialise
+	it on each call.  Otherwise, after any error elsewhere, all sparse
+	files were always and falsely reported as erroneous.

+	completely without checking the contained files.

+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): Return nonzero/zero for success/failure,
+	instead of zero/negative.  Callers adjusted.  Use xstrdup on

+
+	* buffer.c: Add DEBUG_FORK conditional code.
+	Reported by Thomas König and Ulrich Drepper.
+
+	* misc.c (maybe_backup_file): In the renaming message, say that

+
+	* buffer.c: Have real_s_name able to hold PATH_MAX characters,
+	not only NAME_FIELD_SIZE.  It was breaking --multi-volume
+	--listed-incremental when backing up long file names.
+	Many symptoms really: a screwed-up date on the incremental data
+	file, dumping incremental which should not have been, etc.
+	* (flush_read): Avoid altering save_name pointer value, use
+	cursor instead.  Also avoid the optimization of cleaning each
+	save_name only once per flush_read if it did not change: it
+	was using `save_name = real_s_name;', and since save_name may
+	be freed at any time, this is/was really running after trouble.

+	ck_malloc with xmalloc.  In gnu_restore, remove skipping code in
+	case of failed allocation, because tar already aborted in xmalloc.
+	* tar.h: Delete ck_malloc declaration.
+
+	* port.c: Remove mknod, link, chown and geteuid, which
+	normally exist on Unix.  To be reinserted later, as needed.
+	Reported by Jyh-Shyang Wang, Nelson H. F. Beebe, Philippe Defert
+	and Serge Granik.
+

+1995-06-17  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Release 1.11.8.
+
+	* Makefile.in (mostlyclean): Remove also _*.c and _*.o.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file), gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Cast
+	(int) explicitely for test.
+
+	* Makefile.in ($(OBJECTS)): Depend on ../intl/libgettext.h
+	instead of ../intl/libintl.h, which does not always exist.
+
+	* genfile.c: Define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE if not.
+	* tar.c (main): Use TAREXIT_SUCCESS instead of EXIT_SUCCESS.
+
+	* tar.h: Use off_t instead of long for the second argument in
+	__rmt_lseek declaration.
+	* system.h: Remove typedef of off_t, because AC_TYPE_OFF_T
+	takes care of it now.
+	Reported by Coranth Gryphon, Jim Blandy and Thomas Krebs.
+
+1995-06-15  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+

+
+	* tar.h, tar.c (decode_options), extract.c
+	(extract_archive), diffarch.c (diff_archive), create.c

+	* tar.c (decode_options): Implement OBSOLETE_ABSOLUTE_NAMES for
+	reporting --absolute-paths as obsolete.
+
+	* system.h: Conditionnaly include <locale.h> and define
+	setlocale to void independently of ENABLE_NLS.
+	Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+1995-06-10  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (long_options): Use no_argument and require_argument,
+	instead of constants.  Have long option names translated to short
+	options whenever possible, rather than setting flags directly:
+	easing option management is worth a few extra nanoseconds.
+
+	* tar.c (long_options): Add --gunzip as meaning -z.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+1995-06-07  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.in: Use subdir and distdir.
+
+	* system.h [NLS]: Simplify by merely including <libintl.h>.
+	Also, define setlocale to empty only if the setlocale function is
+	not known, instead of when <locale.h> is missing.
+	* Makefile.in (INCLUDES): Use ../intl in compilations,
+	taking care of the fact libintl.h might have been symlinked there.
+
+1995-06-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c, tar.h: Rename TAR_EXTERN to GLOBAL.
+
+	* tar.h: Delete COMMAND_VERSION.
+	* tar.c: Replace OPTION_HELP and OPTION_VERSION commands by
+	show_help and show_version variables, so `--version --create' will
+	not diagnose `Too many commands'.  Adjust things so this works.
+	Reported by Marty Leisner.
+
+1995-06-04  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+
+1995-05-30  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (name_match): Use %s for printing directory, not %d.
+	Reported by Marty Leisner.
+
+	* tar.c (name_gather, addname): chdir_name receives string
+	pointers which might later be overwritten, but nevertheless saved
+	into structures, so, use xstrdup for the time being.
+	Reported by Michael Holmes.
+
+	* tar.c (name_next, name_from_list): Abort when chdir fails.
+	Reported by Ian Jackson and Marty Leisner.
+
+1995-05-28  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* rmt.h: Declare second argument of __rmt_lseek to be off_t
+	instead of long, so it is the same as in rmt.c.
+	Reported by Chris Arthur.
+
+	* buffer.c (close_archive): Compensate for the addition of 2
+	to ar_block at open_archive time, for when -M used, just before
+	calling free.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible, Clinton Carr, Hernan Prieto Schmidt,
+	Kevin Dalley, Loren J. Rittle and Marty Leisner.
+
+	* rmt.c: Replace SSIZE by STRING_SIZE, avoiding a conflict
+	with some header files.
+	Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.
+
+	* tar.c: Use DEVICE_PREFIX instead of DEVICE_PREXIX, and
+	WITH_REGEX instead of WITH_REGEC.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+1995-05-16  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Prerelease 1.11.7.
+

+	* tar.c (main): Call textdomain.
+
+1995-05-02  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* system.h, gnu.c, list.c, port.c: Avoid
+	superfluous parentheses in macro definitions.
+	* port.c: Capitalize macro arguments.

+	* system.h: Use WITH_CATALOGS to define _() differently.
+
+1995-03-14  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Close the unused side of each
+	pipe, instead of the useful one, prior to processing.
+	Reported by Charles Lopes and Minh Tran-Le.
+
+1995-02-22  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.in: Replace `date' by `echo timestamp'.

+
+	* Makefile.in: Use top_srcdir.
+
+1995-02-11  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (is_dot_or_dotdot): Through NFS, readdir might deliver
+	empty filenames under old Solaris 2.4, causing endless loops in
+	tar.  As a workaround, avoid `' as done already for `.' and `..'.
+	Reported by Jan Carlson.
+
+1995-02-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.in (maintainer-clean): New name for realclean.
+
+1995-01-04  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* extract.c (make_dirs) [MSDOS]: Correct for Turbo C, which may
+	return EACCES instead of EEXIST on mkdir.
+	Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.
+
+	* tar.c (usage) [MSDOS]: Do not tell about -N and related.
+	(decode_options) [MSDOS]: Be blind to -N and related.
+	Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.
+
+	* rmt.h (_remdev): A filename is not remote if the colon is
+	preceeded by a slash, to take care of `/:/' which is a shorthand
+	for `/.../<CELL-NAME>/fs' on OSF's Distributing Computing
+	Environment (DCE) and Distributed File System (DFS).
+	Reported by Travis L. Priest.
+
+1995-01-03  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (decode_options): Renamed from options.  Convert
+	oldish-style non-dashed options to modern writing before
+	performing option decoding.  Diagnose when modern options are met
+	before old style options are fully converted.  This allows
+	mixing of option styles on a single call.  Avoid getoldopt and
+	use getopt_long instead.
+	* getoldopt.c: Deleted.
+	* tar.h: Prototype deleted.
+	* Makefile.in: Adjusted.

+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c, rmt.c, rtapelib.c,
+	update.c: Simplify accordingly.
+
+	* system.h: If it exists, include <sys/ioccom.h> prior to
+	<sys/mtio.h>, to account for problems when GNU libc 1.0x is
+	installed over SunOS 4.1.3: GNU libc does not provide sys/mtio.h,
+	so it is taken from Sun header files which use things like _IOW,
+	which GNU libc despises, sys/ioccom.h then provides definitions.
+	Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

+
+1994-12-03  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Prerelease 1.11.6.
+
+	* rmt.c: Adjust for localization, by including <locale.h> and
+	<libintl.h>, by defining _(), by defining and calling setlocale,
+	and by defining and initializing program_name.
+	* Makefile.in: Use locale.o and libtar.a with rmt.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Ensure INSTALL_DATA is defined.
+
+	* Makefile.in, tar.h, tar.c:
+	Localize, adapting from how it is done in sharutils.

+
+1994-09-26  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (name_next, name_match): Abort tar if directory cannot

+	Reported by Marty Leisner.
+
+1994-09-15  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+	Vogel, Kaveh R. Ghazi an and Jim Meyering and Tilman Schmidt.

+	(Makefile): Have ./config.status create this Makefile only.
+
+1994-09-13  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+

+	not a constant in GNU libc.
+	Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.
+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): Pass an otherwise unused argument to
+	wait, do not use NULL.
+	Reported by Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.
+
+1994-09-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile.in (TAGS): Remove -t on etags call.  It has been

+	+Olibcalls compiler option works.
+	Reported by John David Anglin.
+
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Use REMOTE_SHELL only if defined.
+	Otherwise, if the command argument has been specified and
+	REMOTE_SHELL is not defined, immediately return an error.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Marty Leisner,
+	Torkel Hasle and William Bader.
+
+	Because --rsh-command may always be given, even if no remote shell
+	was found at configure time, remote capabilities are always
+	compiled.  This also solve other problems related to RTAPELIB.
+	* Makefile.in: Always compile $Urtapelib.o.
+	* buffer.c (child_open): Always test _remdev, do not depend

+	* rmt.h, buffer.c [HAVE_RTAPELIB]: Instead of !NO_REMOTE.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Correct a typo in $Ubuffer.o dependencies.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab.
+
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl): Compile the MTIOCGET case only if
+	this symbol is defined.  This also solves a missing mt_type field
+	on NS32016 running SysVr2.2.
+	Reported by Greg Black.
+
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl) : Conditionnalize only the MTIOCTOP
+	case, not the whole routine, with the MTIOCTOP symbol.  In case of
+	unrecognized operation, return EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL.

+	Reported by Daniel R. Guilderson and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Split rule for $Urtapelib.o into one rule for
+	rtapelib.o and one rule for _rtapelib.o, taking care of the fact
+	that rtapelib.c is in $(srcdir) while _rtapelib.c is in current
+	directory.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Minh Tran-Le and
+	Per Foreby.

+	Reported by Ben A. Mesander.
+
+	* tar.h, rtapelib.c: Declare strstr if we replaced it.

+	for __hpux.  I added __hpux__ too, as done in tar.h.
+	Reported by Richard Lloyd.
+
+	* tar.h: Do not include <sys/mknod.h> anymore for HP-UX from
+	HP-UX 8 and after, for which definitions are in <sys/sysmacros.h>,
+	and reorganize the tests in this area.
+	Reported by Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis, Kimmy Posey,
+	Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd and Thomas König.
+
+1994-08-09  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	These changes for const-cleaning gnu.c and tar.c:
+	* tar.c (read_name_from_file): Work directly on global
+	variables instead of accepting parameters.  Return success or
+	failure as an int instead of the relocated name_buffer.
+	(name_next): Caller changed, internal clean-up of the function.
+	Remove trailing slashes on the command call too, not only when
+	reading from a file through -T option.
+	* gnu.c: Add const to name and dir_text in struct dirname.
+	Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Bruno Haible, Christian T. Dum,
+	Dean Gaudet, James W. McKelvey, Richard Lloyd and Robert E. Brown.
+
+1994-08-08  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (name_next, name_gather, addname): Use strcmp for
+	checking for "-C", instead of decomposed tests, just for clarity.
+
+	* Makefile.in (RSH): Define from configuration.
+	(rtapelib.o): Define REMOTE_SHELL from $(RSH) while compiling.
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): If command not given, use
+	REMOTE_SHELL, instead of cascading tries of filenames.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+	* tar.c: Include <fnmatch.h> if FNM_LEADING_DIR is not
+	defined, instead of checking for FNM_PATHNAME, because some
+	<unistd.h> define the later without defining the former.
+	Reported by Thomas König.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Cast alloca results, for those
+	compilers not processing void * properly.
+	Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Get prefix and exec_prefix from configure.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab, Christian T. Dum and Dean Gaudet.
+
+	* src/port.c: Delete mkdir (and rmdir), rename, strstr and
+	ftruncate replacements.
+	Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi (for memset and strstr).
+	Reported by Bruno Haible (for mkdir and rename).
+
+1994-08-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h: Replace msg_file by stdlis.
+	* buffer.c, gnu.c, list.c, diffarch.c: Idem.
+
+	* tar.c (main): Print version on stdout, not stderr.
+
+	* tar.h: Unconditionnaly insert the pad.  Why play the game of
+	forcing the compiler to do it for us?  (Hum!  I'm not so sure.)
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+	* list.c (read_header): Initialize signed_sum to 0.  Use this
+	opportunity for slightly reorganizing the code around.
+	Reported by Anders Andersson, Andrey A. Chernov, Bruno Haible
+	and Chris Ransom.
+
+	* tar.c: Declare name_buffer_length as size_t instead of int.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab, J.T. Conklin, Kaveh R. Ghazi and
+	Robert E. Brown.
+
+	* rmt.h: Have the NO_REMOTE case be a particular case of the
+	other, for rmtopen and rmtcreat were not transmitting the proper
+	number of parameters to open and creat (since 26 July 1994).
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab.
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Delay changing owner to after
+	doing utime, for keeping long enough the permission of utime'ing.
+	(extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info): Idem for directories.
+	Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.
+
+	* tar.h: Change malloc_dbg to dmalloc, mutatis mutandis.
+
+	* tar.h: Undefine many macros if stat macros found to be
+	broken.  Define mkfifo only if configure did not find it.
+	Include <sys/param.h> if not _POSIX_SOURCE, then <unistd.h> if
+	we have it, than "pathmax.h".  Move _POSIX_VERSION dependent
+	code further down.  Do not declare getcwd if we do not have it.
+	* tar.c: Do not include <unistd.h>, now in "tar.h".
+	Reported by Bernard Chen, Jean-Michel Soenen, John L.
+	Chmielewski and Kaveh R. Ghazi.
+
+	* tar.h: Define DEV_BSIZE, ST_BLKSIZE and ST_NBLOCKS,
+	borrowing this code from both fileutils-3.9's "lib/system.h" and
+	textutils-1.9's "system.h".
+	* create.c (dump_file): Straighten the test for sparseness,
+	which was requiring one block too much, most probably for trying
+	to get around DEV_BSIZE/st_blksize confusion.  Use ST_NBLOCKS,
+	instead of computing a variable block_size and doing specific
+	tests for HP-UX or Linux.  Also rewrite the test so it works
+	when ST_NBLOCKS is unsigned.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible, Dean Gaudet, Dick Streefland, Harald
+	König, Jim Meyering, Kai Petzke, Kaveh R. Ghazi and Torkel Hasle.
+

+
+	* port.c: Remove many static specifiers.
+	Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.

+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Replace system by remote, twice.
+	Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Christian T. Dum, Demizu Noritoshi
+	and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

+
+	* tar.c (assign_string): New routines.
+	* create.c (dump_file, start_header), extract.c
+	(extract_archive), list.c (list_archive, read_header),
+	buffer.c (open_archive), diffarch.c (diff_archive): Use
+	assign_string for setting these variables to a string value or
+	NULL.
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): Sets current_file_name,
+	current_link_name and save_name to NULL.
+	(close_archive): Free each of them if not NULL.
+	(fl_write): Take a copy of save_name into cursor, and advance the
+	cursor instead, because save_name should stay free-able.
+	Reported by Dave Gentzel, Harald Anlauf, Mark Clements, Robert
+	Weissenfels, Ronald van Loon, Tsutomu Yamada and Vic Abell.
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Use xstrdup, for clarity.
+	* gnu.c (add_dir): Idem.
+
+	* list.c (print_header): Correct a little bug by which
+	non-symbolic links were not printed properly quoted.
+
+	* diffarch.c (diff_archive): Allocate tmpbuf to the proper
+	size.  NAMSIZ + 2 is not necessarily enough.
+
+1994-08-01  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h: Refresh str*/mem* configured declarations.  Among
+	other things, this will solve previously missing #undef's.
+	* rmt.h: Revise strchr configured declaration.
+	* *.c: Replace bzero by memset, bcopy by memcpy, bcmp by
+	memcmp, index by strchr and rindex by strrchr.
+	* port.c: Delete functions bzero and bcmp, said to not exist
+	on Minix.  AC_MINIX in configure.in should guarantee POSIX things.
+	Reported by Drew Trieger, Hugh Secker-Walker and Vic Abell.
+
+	* tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c, update.c: Change CMD_* to COMMAND_*.
+
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): Use strcmp to compare archive name
+	to `-', instead of doing it explicitely.  Just for clarity.
+
+	* tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c: Replace ar_files by
+	archive_name_array, n_ar_files by archive_names and ar_files_len
+	by allocated_archive_names.  Replace the index cur_ar_file by
+	archive_name_cursor, which is a cursor in archive_name_array.
+
+	* tar.c (main): Move the initialization of
+	archive_name_array at beginning, taken from options routine.
+	Free it at end of main.
+	(options): Use xrealloc instead of ck_realloc for archive_name,
+	for the already saved names to be preserved.
+	Reported by Per Bojsen.
+
+	* tar.h, tar.c: Replace name_file by namefile_name.
+	* tar.c: Replace n_ind by name_array, n_indused by names,
+	n_indalloc by allocated_names, and n_indscan by name_index.
+	Replace namef by name_file, n_argv by names_argv and n_argc by
+	names_argc.
+	(main): Make an initial allocation for name_array at beginning,
+	moved out from name_add, free it at end of main.
+
+	* buffer.c (close_archive): Free ar_block at end.
+
+1994-07-30  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h [WITH_MALLOC_DBG]: Include "malloc_dbg.h".
+
+	* create.c (create_archive): Do not attempt creating a
+	directory summary file if -G, since -G sets gnu_dumpfile to 0.
+	Reported by Alexander Dupuy.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Avoid a NULL dereference with -G when
+	trying to dump an empty directory.
+	* gnu.c (add_dir_name): Same thing.
+	Reported by Rainer Orth.
+
+	Correction for the improper `data differs' diagnostic given when
+	the continuation of a multi-volume was compared.
+	* diffarch.c (diff_archive): If multi-volume, update save_name
+	and save_totsize before calling wantbytes.
+	* buffer.c (wantbytes): If multi-volume, update save_sizeleft.
+	Reported by Andreas Schwab, Denis Fortin, François Pinard,

+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Detect file sparseness correctly for
+	Linux ext2 filesystem.
+	Reported by Kai Petzke.
+
+	* port.c (link) [!MSDOS]: Do not call setmode.

+
+	Reorganization for `tar -d' to provide a different exit status.
+	* tar.h: Replace errors by exit_status.  Declare TAREXIT_*.
+	* buffer.c (child_open): Exit with exit_status.
+	* tar.c (main): Initialize exit_status to TAREXIT_SUCCESS, and
+	exit with exit_status.
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c, gnu.c, list.c, port.c,
+	rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Replace EXIT_FAILURE by
+	TAREXIT_FAILURE, and EXIT_SUCCESS by TAREXIT_SUCCESS.
+	* tar.h (ERROR), create.c (dump_file): Set exit_status to
+	TAREXIT_FAILURE instead of increasing errors.
+	* diffarch.c (sigh, diff_sparse_files): On differences, set
+	exit_status to TAREXIT_DIFFERS if nothing more serious already.
+	Reported by Tilman Schmidt.
+
+	* rmt.c: Define EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS if not already.
+	* rtapelib.c: Define EXIT_ON_EXEC_ERROR to 128 and use it.
+
+1994-07-27  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* diffarch.c (sigh): Increment errors, so a difference will
+	yield a non-zero exit status at end.
+	Reported by Nick Holloway.
+
+	* tar.h: Rename TARERROR to WARN, then add ERROR which is similar,
+	but increments the errors counter.
+	* *.c: Replace all TARERROR by WARN or ERROR, deciding for each
+	case.  Many errors were not reflected in exit status.
+
+	Reported by Carl Streeter, Esa Karell, George Chyu, Ian Jackson,
+	Judy Ricker, Massimo Dal Zotto, Roland McGrath, Tilman Schmidt
+	and Torkel Hasle.
+
+	* buffer.c (child_open): Exit with EXIT_FAILURE if any error.
+
+	* rtapelib.c: Use error for reporting errors.
+	(do_command): New name for command.
+	(get_status): New name for status.
+
+	* buffer.c: Remove definition of MAGIC_STAT.
+	(close_archive): Do not check MAGIC_STAT for an exit value, since
+	this value is never returned.
+
+	* *.c: Use TARERROR or exit with EXIT_FAILURE, instead of various
+	esoteric statuses.  Normalize using TARERROR with an exit status,
+	instead of calling TARERROR with 0 first, then _exit.  On exit
+	calls, use EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0.
+	* tar.c: Do not use the exit status anymore for outputting an
+	error counter value.  Wrap around was creating spurious success.
+	* tar.h: Remove EX_* definitions for tar exit statuses.
+	Reported by Bob Mende and Torbjorn Granlund.
+
+1994-07-26  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+	* tar.c: Add and process --rsh-command option.
+	* buffer.c (open_archive, child_open, new_volume): Pass
+	f_rsh_command to rmtopen and rmtcreat calls.
+	* rmt.h (rmtopen, rmtcreat): Pass a supplementary argument.
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Accept and process a command
+	argument, to replace rsh.
+	Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.
+
+	* tar.h: Instead of including <sys/file.h> with BSD42 or
+	<fcntl.h> for V7, merely include <fcntl.h> if it exists,
+	otherwise <sys/file.h>.
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, list.c,
+	port.c, update.c: Do not include <fcntl.h> or
+	<sys/file.h>, because they are indirectly included through
+	"tar.h".
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Remove the BSD42 conditional.  If not
+	f_sparse_files, initialize upperbound as when not BSD42.
+	Reported by Alan Bawden, Claude Scarpelli, Laurent
+	Sainte-Marthe, Noah Friedman, Reuben Sumner, Tom Quinn and
+	William Bader.
+
+1994-07-24  François Pinard  <[email protected]>

+	comparing it to strlen result.
+	Reported by Mark Frost.
+
+	* tar.c (main): Zero out label_pattern before compiling in
+	regular expressions, instead of using uninitialized memory.
+	Reported by Holger Teutsch.
+
+	* tar.c [!FNM_PATHNAME]: Include fnmatch.h only if unistd.h fails
+	to define this symbol.
+	Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Eddy ?, John
+	Oleynick and Richard Lloyd.
+
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c, rtapelib.c, update.c:
+	Include <sys/io/trioctl.h> before <sys/mtio.h>, if it exists.
+	Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
+
+	* tar.c (options): Use defined OPTION_* constants instead of
+	anonymous numbers for long options not having a short option form.
+
+	* rmt.h [!MTIOCTOP]: Do not define RMTIOCTL, so __rmt_ioctl
+	will not be called if it has not been compiled in rtapelib.c.
+
+	* tar.h: Add CMD_TOO_MANY.
+	* tar.c (main): Use CMD_TOO_MANY, and get rid of badopt label.
+	Reported by David J. MacKenzie.
+
+	* tar.c (usage): New name for describe().  Rewritten with
+	better help formatting and more logical grouping of options.
+	Accepts an exit status argument.  Callers adapted.

+
+	* tar.h: Merge "port.h" towards the beginning of tar.h.
+	Include <stdio.h> and <errno.h>, and define errno if needed.
+	* *.c: Do not include "port.h" anymore after "tar.h", do not
+	include <stdio.h>, <errno.h> nor <sys/types.h>.  Also move
+	"tar.h" as the first file included in every module.  This
+	would solve, among other things, the problem of RE_DUP_MAX
+	being redefined by <limits.h>, when included after "regex.h".
+	* port.h: Deleted.
+	* Makefile.in: Adjusted.
+	Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis,
+	John David Anglin, Matthew Braun, Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd
+	and Stefan Skoglund.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Do not cast alloca result to (char *).
+	The problem reported was that alloca result was seen as int, but
+	with the changes just made, alloca should be properly declared.
+	Reported by Bryant Fujimoto and Michael Kubik.
+
+1994-07-06  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c, extract.c [HAVE_UTIME_H]: Instead of _POSIX_VERSION,

+	Reported by Carl Swanson and Thomas Krebs.
+
+1994-07-05  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Replace DEF_AR_FILE with DEFAULT_ARCHIVE, replace
+	DEFBLOCKING with DEFAULT_BLOCKING.
+
+	* rtapelib.c: Replace "??'" by "?? '" at two places in a
+	comment, so avoiding Pyramid's DC/OSx compiler to complain about
+	ANSI trigraph sequences.  Even comments can trigger bugs, now!
+	Reported by Mark Frost.
+
+	* tar.h: Declare valloc.
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c: Remove declaration for valloc.
+
+	* testpad.c: Deleted.
+	* tar.h: Do not include "testpad.h" anymore.
+	* Makefile.in: Delete testpad matters.
+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): Inside case 'n', strcpy into r then
+	assign r to p, instead of strcpy'ing directly into p, for making
+	the module const clean.
+
+1994-07-03  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	Rename a few variables to avoid shadowing variables or functions:
+	* list.c (print_header): Change name to quoted_name.
+	* buffer.c (child_open): Change pipe to local_pipe.
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Change namelen to namelen_bis.
+	* rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Change system to remote.
+
+	* tar.c (options): Add two missing arguments to getoldopt
+	call, NULL is not necessarily implied on all systems.
+
+	* list.c (print_header): Add a few missing long specification
+	in formats.
+	* diffarch.c (compare_chunk, diff_sparse_files): Idem.
+	* port.c (msg, msg_perror): Idem.
+
+	* tar.h: Include prototypes for all functions which call from
+	one module to another.  Declare voidstar (use it everywhere
+	instead of PTR).  Move in the include <sys/stat.h> from
+	<port.h>, and the include of option.h from tar.c and
+	getoldopt.c, waiting for a better solution for all these things.
+	* port.c: Removed PTR declaration and including <sys/stat.h>.
+	* getoldopt.c, tar.c: Remove including "option.h".
+
+1994-07-02  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* *: Protoized all function headers.  Added static to
+	functions which can take it.  Add many const specifiers.  Remove
+	unused variables.
+
+	* port.c (xmalloc): Delete function, do not mask the true one.
+	* port.c (ck_malloc): Use xmalloc, waiting for annihilation.
+	* port.c (ck_realloc): Use xrealloc, waiting for annihilation.
+	* *: Begin switching from ck_malloc (or even pure malloc) to
+	xmalloc.  Same for ck_realloc (pure realloc) to xrealloc.
+	Doing this correctly is a delicate matter, which I'll continue
+	without reporting it anymore, while doing other modifications.
+
+	* *: Replace msg and msg_perror calls by TARERROR macro calls.
+	Capitalize first word of all error messages, remove ending
+	punctuation or newline.  Systematically avoid contractions for
+	`Cannot' and `Could not'.  Always write `WARNING:' all in capitals.
+	* tar.h: Declare TARERROR as calling error().  Rename
+	variable tar to program_name.
+	* tar.c (main, options), buffer.c (child_open), port.c
+	(msg, msg_perror), gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rename variable tar to
+	program_name.
+	* gnu.c (gnu_restore): Remove a spurious repetition of
+	program_name in error message.
+
+1994-07-01  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c, create.c extract.c, gnu.c, list.c,
+	names.c, rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Remove all (void)
+	prefixes to function calls.  There are limits to lint clutter.
+
+1994-06-30  François Pinard  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.h: Remove definition of const.  Let configure do it.
+
+	* tar.h, rmt.c, rtapelib.c, version.c, testpad.c: Add a block
+	for including <config.h> or "config.h".  If "tar.h" was included
+	everywhere, the block will only be needed there.
+
+	* *.[ch]: Reindented to GNU standards (they were not far).
+	Got rid of all `* ' left prefixes in comments and refilled them.
+	There is still a lot of cosmetic changes needed everywhere.
+	I will not report them any more, doing them along the way of
+	other things in the future.
+
+	* Makefile.in: New file.
+
+	* Split distribution into a few subdirectories, for easing
+	maintainance.

+1993-03-25  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* version.c: Released version 1.11.2.
+

+
+	* Makefile.in (dist, shar): Use gzip instead of compress.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Test for curdev == -1, not curdev < 0.

+1993-03-19  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): Write the global volume number to the

+	can look at it.
+
+1993-03-17  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (describe, long_options): Changed --compress-block to

+	(options): Fixed f_compress_block sanity check error message
+	to give the correct name of the option.
+
+1993-03-16  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): case LF_DIR: Do chown when
+	necessary.  Don't bother jumping to set_filestat for
+	f_modified; repeat the chmod code here.  Replace `break',
+	deleted on 2 September 1992.
+
+	* tar.c (describe, long_options, options): Added gzip options
+	and use-compress-program option.
+	* tar.h: Added new compression options.

+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Put arguments in the right
+	order for error message.
+	Reported by Bruno Haible.
+
+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the last byte was null, we
+	didn't write it out.
+
+	* gnu.c, create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c, list.c:
+	Replace malloc calls with ck_malloc and realloc with ck_realloc.

+
+	* Makefile.in (realclean): Added getdate.c.
+
+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): If exactly 26 elements in
+	sparsearray, only 25 were written.
+	Reported by Jim Murray.
+
+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the file ends with a zero
+	block, the last byte was not written.  This is fixed in create
+	rather than extract: if amidst_data is not set at EOF, put out a
+	block with just the last byte of the file.
+	Reported by Jim Murray.
+
+1993-01-14  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Include fnmatch.h after port.h to make sure we get our FNM_*

+	buffer; otherwise a broken rmt server (which puts too much
+	data out) could overwrite past our buffer.
+
+1992-09-17  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure.in: Check for getpwuid and getgrgid.
+	Reported by J.T. Conklin.

+	(OBJ3): Add @ALLOCA@.
+
+	* Makefile.in (getdate.c): Look in srcdir for getdate.y.
+
+	* buffer.c (close_archive): We can't check WTERMSIG

+
+1992-09-14  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options, main): Advise use of --help rather than
+	+help.
+	Reported by J.T. Conklin.
+
+	* create.c (write_long): Using hstat here is a Bad Idea, and
+	totally unnecessary at that.
+
+	* list.c (read_header): Compute both signed and normal
+	checksums.
+	Reported by Robert E. Brown.
+
+	* diffarch.c, buffer.c: Declare valloc as void* rather than
+	char*.
+	Reported by Robert E. Brown.
+
+	* Makefile.in: Don't install info files.

+
+	* names.c: Add include of <stdio.h>,

+	* configure.in: Define BSD in the presence of /sdmach or

+
+	* buffer.c, tar.c: Remove redundant decls of getenv, rindex.

+	Define libdir instead of hardcoding /etc for installing rmt.
+
+1992-09-10  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* list.c (read_header): On second thought, that doesn't work
+	either, so just store the names in malloced areas.  Sigh.
+
+	* NEWS: New file.
+	* README: Removed things that belong in NEWS; point to it.
+
+	* list.c (read_header): current_file_name and
+	current_link_name need to be set to the arrays in head rather
+	than header; header is the actual read buffer and will change.
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive):
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): `#' directives need to start in
+	column 1.
+	Reported by J.T. Conklin.

+
+	* extract.c: Removed long name support from here.
+	* list.c (read_header): Understand and skip longname/longlink
+	headers here.  Names for current file are stored in new global
+	variables.  All source files except create.c changed to refer
+	to current_file_name and current_link_name instead of fields
+	directly from the current header.
+
+1992-09-03  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (write_long): New function.
+	(dump_file): When writing link records or symlink records, use

+	Reported by Chris Arthur.
+
+	* extract.c: saved_dir_info, saved_dir_info_head: new type and
+	var.
+	(extract_archive): When extracting directories, now save info
+	in saved_dir_info_head.
+	(restore_saved_dir_info): New function.
+	* list.c (read_and): Call restore_saved_dir_info at the end of
+	the run.
+	Reported by Chris Arthur.
+
+1992-08-31  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (create_archive): If there are no names specified,
+	write nothing on the archive instead of dumping ".".
+
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): Useful error message.
+
+ 	* tar.c, tar.h: Recognize f_atime_preserve.
+	* create.c (dump_file): Implement f_atime_preserve.

+	names; obey new force-local flag.
+	* tar.c, tar.h: Implement new force-local flag.
+	Reported by Roland Schemers III.
+
+	* tar.c (describe): same-owner and same-order were confused.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Check for toplevel had sense reversed.
+
+	* buffer.c (new_archive): Don't free old_name...when these
+	come from the command line, they aren't malloced, and it isn't
+	important to save this trivial amount of memory.
+
+	* tar.h: replace ar_file with ar_files, n_ar_files,
+	cur_ar_files.
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): multi-volume compressed archives
+	never worked; give an appropriate error.  Change open of
+	ar_file to open of ar_files[0].
+	(writeerror, readerror, flush_archive): use
+	ar_files[cur_ar_file] instead of ar_file.
+	(new_archive): Necessary changes to support ar_files.
+	* tar.c (options): handle multiple tape drive arguments.
+
+1992-08-28  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* list.c (decode_header), create.c (start_header), tar.h (TMAGIC):
+	Undo djm's changes below; tar does not support the final
+	Posix.1 format; it's bad to make it look like it does.
+
+1992-07-19  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.h: Try to prevent redefining major.
+	* port.c [minix]: Implies HAVE_BZERO.  Fix a typo.
+
+	* list.c (decode_header): Recognize the final POSIX.1 magic as

+1992-07-14  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* pathmax.h: New file.
+	* port.h: Include it.
+	* create.c (create_archive): Allocate PATH_MAX instead of
+	NAME_MAX for temporary buffer so we don't have to figure out
+	what NAME_MAX is (portably).
+
+1992-07-10  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): write_dir_file has no argument.
+
+1992-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c (rename): If unlinking the source at the end fails,
+	unlink the destination instead to avoid leaving a mess.
+
+1992-07-03  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c, update.c, rtapelib.c [HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H]:

+	dir_contents when get_dir_contents returns NULL.
+
+1992-05-07  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (add_dir_name): Check for return of NULL from
+	get_dir_contents; see djm's change of Fri Jul 26 01:12:58 1991.
+
+1992-05-04  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h: Make comments for option names say -- instead of +.
+
+1992-04-29  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c, tar.t: Added +volno-file option.
+	buffer.c (init_volume_number, closeout_volume_number): New functions.
+	tar.c (main): Call new functions in the right place.
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_write, fl_read): Mod to allow losing tape
+	drives which use short counts to indicate end of tape
+	correctly handle the multi-tape stuff.  The read half won't
+	co-exist with f_reblock; there's no way to fix that, of
+	course.
+
+	* tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +show-omitted-dirs.
+	list.c (read_and): Implemented show-omitted-dirs.
+	Reported by Karl Berry.
+
+	* tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +checkpoint.
+	buffer.c (fl_read, fl_write): Implemented +checkpoint lazily.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Added toplevel argument; some devices

+	create.c (dump_file): Implemented +ignore-failed-read.

+	everything but directories.  I don't think they need it.
+
+1992-04-28  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c: (dump_file): save_name needs to be set equal to p,
+	not something inside the header, because the header changes at
+	the first buffer flush.
+
+1992-04-24  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c: Djm incorrectly moved the include of port.h to
+	precede the include of sys/file.h; restored.

+	* tar.c (main): Cases CMD_EXTRACT and CMD_LIST: declare error
+	string with const.

+
+	* testpad.c (main): flush stderr so perror and fprintf
+	cooperate right.
+
+1991-12-18  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.h [MAJOR_IN_MKDEV, MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS]: To find where to

+
+1991-11-21  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@nutrimat>

+	filename from header instead of real name to make sure that we

+
+1991-11-16  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+

+
+1991-08-29  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>

+	Reported by Eric Norum.
+
+1991-08-26  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* configure, Makefile.in: Only put $< in Makefiles if VPATH

+	don't choke on it.
+
+1991-08-14  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* list.c (UGSWIDTH): Increase from 11 (sort of like Unix tar) to

+	[!POSIX]: Put correct one in port.h.
+
+	* tar.c (describe): Print on stdout instead of stderr; it's
+	not so much a usage message (since you have to ask for it
+	explicitly) as on-line help, and you really need to be able to
+	page it because it's more than a screen long.
+
+	* Make #ifdefs for sys/file.h or fcntl.h, directory header,
+	sys/mtio.h consistent between files.  Use NO_MTIO instead of
+	tricks with USG and HAVE_MTIO and NO_RMTIOCTL.
+	* Move decls of ANSI C and POSIX functions to port.h and
+	use standard headers to declare them if available
+	[STDC_HEADERS or POSIX].
+	* Add many missing function declarations and return types.
+	* Some places used __MSDOS__, some MSDOS; standardize on __MSDOS__.
+	* Change S_IF macros to S_IS for POSIX.
+	* port.h: Define appropriate S_IS macros if missing.
+	* port.h [POSIX]: Rename macros for testing exit status to conform to
+	POSIX; use the system's versions if available.
+	* Use POSIX PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN and MAXNAMLEN.
+	* port.h: Define PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX.
+	* create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Use ck_malloc and free instead of
+	auto arrays of size PATH_MAX or NAME_MAX, since with pathconf
+	they might not be constants.
+	* Move all definitions of O_* to port.h to reduce redundancy.
+	* Make all source files that now need to include port.h do so.
+	* port.c: Remove #undefs of WANT_* so you can use -DWANT_*
+	when compiling, instead of having to edit port.c.
+	[WANT_DUMB_GET_DATE] (get_date): Function removed.
+	Even systems without bison can get bison output and compile it.
+	[WANT_STRING] (index, rindex, bcopy, bzero, bcmp): Functions
+	removed; the translation is now done by macros in port.h.
+	* wildmat.c (wildmat): Use POSIX.2 '!' instead of '^' to negate
+	character classes.
+
+1991-07-15  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* testpad.c (main): Return type void.
+
+	* port.c [WANT_STRING]: Don't include memory.h if NO_MEMORY_H.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file) [AIX]: Fix typo, `allocate' for `alloca'.
+	* gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): Move misplaced brace out of #ifdef.
+	Reported by Minh Tran-Le.
+
+	* configure: Also look in sys/signal.h for signal decl.
+
+1991-07-10  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Rename rtape_server.c to rmt.c and rtape_lib.c to rtapelib.c.
+
+	* configure, Makefile.in: $(INSTALLPROG) -> $(INSTALL).
+
+1991-07-09  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Most files: Refer to GPL version 2.
+	* COPYING: Use version 2.
+
+	* port.c [__TURBOC__] (utime): New function.
+
+	* xmalloc: New function (just calls ck_malloc), for alloca.c
+	and bison.simple (in getdate.y output).
+
+	* Makefile.in (AUX): Include alloca.c and tcexparg.c, a
+	command line globber for Turbo C.
+
+1991-07-08  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* testpad.c: Open and write to testpad.h instead of stdout,
+	because some MS-DOS makes (Borland's at least) can't do
+	redirection in commands.
+	* Makefile.in: Don't redirect testpad output.
+
+1991-07-08  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_read): Missing \n in printf.
+
+1991-07-08  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c, extract.c, gnu.c, diffarch.c, tar.c: Comment out
+	unused variables.
+
+	* tar.c (options): Cast get_date arg to VOIDSTAR instead of
+	`struct timeb *', since on some non-BSD systems the latter is
+	undefined.
+
+1991-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Replace Makefile with configure, Makefile.in, and makefile.pc.
+	Update README with current compilation instructions.
+
+	* port.c [WANT_RENAME] (rename): New function.
+
+1991-07-03  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* testpad.c (main): Avoid warning from some compilers on array
+	address.
+
+	* rtape_server.c (sys_errlist): Should be declared extern.
+	Reported by Stuart Kemp.
+
+1991-07-01  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Release of version 1.10; appropriate changes to README.
+
+	* create.c: Removed printf's about sparse files.
+
+1991-06-21  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* list.c (skip_extended_headers): Userec was being called in
+	the wrong place.
+
+1991-06-20  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h [STDC_MSG]: Use ANSI prototypes for msg and msg_perror,
+	even if BSD42 is also.
+
+	* Makefile: Replace DESTDIR with bindir.
+	(install): Don't install tar.texinfo.  There's no standard
+	place for texinfo files, and /usr/local/man is inappropriate.
+	Add TAGS, distclean, and realclean targets and SHELL= line.
+
+	* version.c: Move old change history to bottom of ChangeLog.
+
+1991-06-12  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* rtape_lib.c (__rmt_write) [SIGNAL_VOID]: Instead of USG.
+
+1991-06-05  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (name_match, addname): Ugly hack to handle -C without
+	any files specified.
+	tar.h (struct name): New field for ugly hack.
+
+1991-06-03  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* testpad.c: New file to determine if we need special padding
+	in struct header in tar.h.
+
+	* tar.h (struct header): include padding if necessary, include
+	testpad.h.
+
+	* Makefile: rules to create testpad.h, etc.
+
+1991-05-22  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options): -L takes an argument.
+
+	* rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): add /usr/bin/nsh to the list of
+	remote shell programs.
+
+	* create.c: define MAXPATHLEN if we don't get it from a system
+	header file.
+
+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): return a real return value if
+	we can't open the file.
+
+	* tar.c (long_options): +newer takes an argument.
+	(describe): fix printing in various trivial ways
+
+1991-05-21  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (long_options): +get and +concatentate don't require arguments
+
+1991-05-20  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (write_eot): Don't try and write an EOF if we are
+	already at one.
+
+	* port.c (strstr): Looking for null string should return zero.
+
+1991-05-19  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options): -l doesn't take an argument
+
+	* Makefile: Minor fix for SGI 4D defines.
+	Reported by Andrew Torda.
+
+	* rtape_server.c (main.c): For 386/AIX.  I'm suspicious about this
+	one.
+	* create.c (dump_file): For hidden files on AIX.
+	gnu.c (collect_and_sort_name, get_dir_contents): AIX hidden file mod.
+	Reported by Minh Tran-Le.
+
+	* tar.c: (name_next): Allow -C inside a file list given to -T.
+	Reported by David Taylor.
+
+	* Makefile: Comment describing presence of USE_REXEC.
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive, case LF_SPARSE): zero check for
+	last element on numbytes needs to look at value after
+	converted from octal.
+
+	* port.c [HAVE_STRSTR]: Check it, instead of always demanding strstr.
+	Makefile: Comment describing presence of HAVE_STRSTR option.
+
+1991-05-19  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c (get_date): Renamed from getdate, to avoid SVR4 conflict.
+	* tar.c: Call get_date instead of getdate.
+
+1991-05-10  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat>
+
+	* tar.c:  added "\n\" to the end of some documentation strings
+	where they were left off.
+
+1991-05-09  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: added level-0, level-1, and backup-specs to AUX.
+	* version.c: changed to 1.10 beta.
+	* README: updated for 1.10 beta release.
+
+1991-04-02  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@godwin>
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): HPUX's st_blocks is in 1024 byte units
+	instead of 512 like the rest of the world, so I special cased
+	it.
+	* tar.c: Undo Noah's changes.
+
+1991-04-01  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+        (This ought to be temporary until things are fixed properly. )
+
+	* tar.c: (struct option long_options):  flag for "sparse" zero if
+	compiling under hpux.
+	tar.c: (functon options): case 'S' is a no-op if compiling under
+	hpux.
+
+1991-03-30  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h: new variable tape_length.
+
+	* tar.c (options): add new option +tape-length / -L.
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_write): Turn #ifdef TEST code for limited tape
+	length on always, for tape-length option.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): avoid apollo lossage where S_IFIFO == S_IFSOCK.
+
+	* buffer.c: include regex.h
+	* buffer.c (fl_read, open_archive): Use regex routines for
+	volume header match.
+	* xmalloc.c: removed file; wasn't necessary.
+	* tar.c: (main) use ck_malloc instead of xmalloc.
+
+1991-03-28  Noah Friedman  <friedman@goldman>
+
+	* regex.c, regex.o: New links.
+	* tar.c: include regex.h.
+	* Makefile (OBJ2): Add regex.o.
+        (regex.o, tar.o): Depend on regex.h
+        (SRC2, AUX): Add the new files.
+
+1991-03-23  Noah Friedman  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: added default flags and options for compiling under

+
+	* Added files alloca.c and xmalloc.c.
+
+1991-03-23  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c [HPUX]: Define WANT_VALLOC.
+
+1991-03-15  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* rtape_lib.c [USG && !HAVE_MTIO]: Define NO_RMTIOCTL automatically.
+	(_rmt_rexec): Temporarily re-open stdin and stdout to
+	/dev/tty, to guarantee that rexec() can prompt and read the
+	login name and password from the user.
+	* Makefile: Mention -DUSE_REXEC.
+	Reported by Pascal Meheut.
+
+1991-03-08  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.h, Makefile [HAVE_SIZE_T]:  Might be useful for some people.
+
+	* gnu.c: lstat->stat define where appropriate
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_write): keep track of amount written for +totals.
+	* tar.c, tar.h: set flag f_totals from +totals option.
+	* tar.h (f_totals, tot_written): new variables.
+	* tar.c (main): print total written with CMD_CREATE.
+
+	* tar.c (main): return appropriate exit status
+
+1991-01-17  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* port.c: Remove a spurious `+' between functions (a remnant
+	of a context diff, apparently).
+
+1991-01-09  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (where_is_data): Rewritten to be better, and then
+	#ifdef-ed out.
+	(deal_with_sparse): Severly pruned.  Now we write or don't
+	write only complete blocks, not worrying about partial blocks.
+	This simplifies calculations, removes bugs, and elides the
+	second scan through the block.  The first was zero_record, the
+	second was where_is_data.
+
+1991-01-07  Michael I Bushnell  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (deal_with_sparse): Second computation (for short
+	reads) of numbytes increment had subtraction backwards.
+	Need to handle calling where_is_data better when we did a
+	short read (it might go past the end of the read), also, set
+	sparsearray[...].offset in this case too.
+
+1991-01-04  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c: Return a special error code if the archive
+	you're trying to read starts with a different label than
+	the one specified on the command line.
+
+1991-01-02  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c: Prepend the current directory to the gnu_dumpfile, so that
+	-C's won't affect where the output goes. (sigh.)
+
+1990-12-18  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c: Don't complain if the gnudumpfile we're reading info
+	from doesn't exist.
+
+	* create.c: Write out gnudumpfile after finishing writing the archive.
+
+	* tar.c: Add +exclude FNAME, and make +exclude-from do what +exclude
+	used to.
+	* Make +version an operation, not an option.
+	* Add +confirmation alias for +interactive.
+
+1990-12-04  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (check_exclude): Don't let MUMBLE match MUMBLE.c or
+	fooMUMBLE but only foo/MUMBLE.
+
+	* mangle.c: New file.
+	* create.c, extract.c: According changes.
+
+	* extract.c: Don't complain when extracting an already existing link.
+	Don't complain when extracting a directory iff it already exists.
+	Don't ad u+wx to directories when running as root.
+	Reported by Chip Salzenberg.
+
+	* gnu.c: Make +listed-incremental work.
+	Reported by Chip Salzenberg.
+
+	* port.c: Add the F_FREESP emulation of the ftruncate syscall.
+
+1990-11-21  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	Remove excess \n from lots of msg() calls.
+
+1990-11-19  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Rename +volume to +label.
+
+1990-11-16  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* tar.c (describe): Include the default values for -b and -f
+	(as set in the Makefile) in the message.
+
+1990-11-15  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Do the utime() call before the
+	chmod() call, 'cuz some versons of utime() trash the file's mode
+	bits.
+
+	* list.c (read_and): Call do_something on volume headers and
+	multivol files even if they don't match the names we're looking
+	for, etc.
+
+1990-11-06  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c (un-quote-string): Don't try to write a null if there's
+	already one there.
+
+1990-11-01  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): fflush(msg_file) before reading for
+	confirmation on new volume.  On EOF or error, print error msg and
+	abort.
+
+1990-10-29  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* getdate.y: Use new version of getdate().
+
+	* tar.c (name_add): Use sizeof(char *) instead of sizeof(int)
+
+	* README: Give the correct return address.
+
+1990-10-25  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	rtape_lib.c [NO_RMTIOCTL]: Instead of RMTIOCTL, so it is on by default.
+
+	rmt.h [NO_REMOTE]: Add _isrmt() #define.
+
+	gnu.c: Add forward reference for add_dir_name().
+
+1990-10-16  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	Version 1.09 --- New -G file implementation of gnu-dump stuff.
+
+	* tar.c (name_add): Get the calls to ck_realloc and ck_malloc right.
+
+1990-10-11  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c: Fix A couple of typos.
+
+1990-09-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* getdate.y [USG && !DAYLIGHT_MISSING] (ftime): Use `daylight'.
+
+1990-09-17  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (gnu_restore): Don't use a passed char* for the
+	file name, use skipcrud+head->header.name, just like everything
+	else does.  This means that gnu_restore will still work with
+	small buffers, etc.
+
+1990-09-13  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (add_exclude): Don't bus-error if the exclude file doesn't
+	end with a newline.
+
+1990-09-09  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile (dist): Remove .fname when done.
+
+1990-09-06  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rember to skip_file() over the directory
+	contents, even if we don't have to do anything with them.
+
+	* create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c: Free sparsearray after we're
+	done with it.
+
+1990-09-04  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: Include gnu.c in dist
+
+	* gnu.c: Move add_dir above read_dir_file so that cc doesn't
+	complain about add_dir returning void.
+
+1990-09-02  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* getdate.y: Declare some more functions and add storage
+	classes where omitted to shut compiler up.
+	[USG] (ftime): Don't use extern var `daylight'; appears that
+	some systems don't have it.
+
+1990-08-29  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* getdate.y (lookup): In the code that allows `Aug.' to be
+	recognized as `Aug', don't chop off the final `.' from words
+	like `a.m.', so they can be recognized.
+
+1990-08-16  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): If -O, write verbosity to stderr
+	instead of stdout.
+
+1990-08-10  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* getdate.y: Handle an explicit DST in the input string.
+	Reported by Per Foreby.
+
+1990-07-16  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: rename -g -G +incremental, +listed-imcremental, etc.
+
+1990-07-13  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Make +newer and +newer-mtime work according to their names.
+
+	* gnu.c: If +newer or +newer-mtime, use the time specified on the
+	command line.
+
+	* buffer.c, create.c: Add test to see if dimwit is trying to
+	archive the archive.
+
+	* tar.c (long_options[]): Re-ordered, so that groups of similar
+	options are next to each other...  I think.
+
+	(describe): Modified to more closely reflect reality.
+
+1990-07-06  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Add compile-time option for SYS V (?) style
+	tape-drive names /dev/rmt/{n}[lmh]
+
+	* tar.c: Fix getopt-style stuff so that -C always works correctly.
+
+	* gnu.c, tar.c: Make filename to -G optional.
+
+	* {all over}: Replace some fprintf(stderr...) calls with calls
+	to msg().
+
+	* port.c: Make -Dmumble_MSG option on command line override
+	internal assumptions.
+
+	* Makefile: Mention -Dmumble_MSG options
+
+1990-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>
+
+	* tar.c (options): Don't change `c' if it is 0, as getopt now
+	handles that internally.
+
+1990-07-02 Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* gnu.c (new file): Moved all the f_gnudump stuff here where we
+	can keep track of it easier.  Also made -G take a file name where
+	it stores the inode information about directories so that we can
+	detect moved directores.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Changed slightly to work with the new
+	f_gnudump.
+
+	* tar.c: Moved the f_gnudump stuff to gnu.c
+
+	* tar.c, extract.c: Added the +do-chown option, which forces tar
+	to always try to chown the created files to their original owners.
+
+	* version.c: New version 1.09
+
+1990-06-24  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c: Change ifdefs for directory library header
+	selection to be like the ones in tar.c.
+	* Makefile [Xenix]: Link with -ldir to get the dirent.h
+	directory library.
+
+1990-06-07  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile, buffer.c, diffarch.c [HAVE_MTIO]: Instead of MTIO, as
+	SCO Xenix defines 'MTIO' for an incompatible tape driver system in
+	a file included by termio.h.
+	* tar.h: Don't define size_t for Xenix.
+
+1990-06-05  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Only print the
+	"... is on a different filesystem..." if f_verbose is on.
+	also add a case for S_IFSOCK and treat it like a FIFO.
+	(Not sure if that's the right thing to do or not, but it's better
+	than all those Unknown File Type msgs.)
+
+1990-05-31  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c [sparc]: Use instead of SPARC since the lowercase version
+	is defined, and the uppercase one isn't.
+
+1990-05-22  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c (ck_malloc): if size==0 pretend size=1
+	(ck_realloc): if(!ptr) call ck_malloc instead.
+
+1990-05-15  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* diffarch.c (diff_archive): If not f_absolute_paths, and attempt
+	to open a file listed in the archive fails, try /filename also.
+	This will allow diff to open the wrong file if both /filename and
+	filename exist, but there's nothing we can do about that.
+
+1990-05-11  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: Describe new -DMTIO option.
+
+	* buffer.c, diffarch.c: Change ifdefs slightly, so that -DMTIO
+	will include sys/mtio.h even if USG is defined.  This is for HPUX
+	and similar BSD/USG crossovers.
+
+1990-05-08  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* update.c (update_archive): Call reset_eof() when appropriate.
+
+	* buffer.c (reset_eof): New function, that turns of EOF flag, and
+	re-sets the ar_record and ar_last pointers.  This will allow
+	'tar rf non-existant-file' to not core-dump.
+
+1990-05-04  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Recognize the +sparse option.  It was documented, but
+	only the short form (-S) was actually recognized.
+
+1990-04-17  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* create.c: Don't access location 0 if ->dir_contents is null.
+
+1990-04-11  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (flush_archive, close_archive, new_volume): Always
+	check the return value of rmtclose(), and only give a warning msg
+	if it is <0.  Some device drivers (including Sun floppy disk, and
+	HP streaming tape) return -1 after an IO error (or something like
+	that.)
+
+1990-03-23  Jim Kingdon  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (long_options): Make it so +append +extract +list +update
+	+catenate and +delete don't take arguments.
+
+1990-03-12  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (open_archive, fl_write): Set the mtime of the volume
+	header to the current time.
+
+1990-03-07  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c  Fix +compress-block  A two character patch from
+	Juha Sarlin.
+	Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__.
+	(new_volume): If open of new archive fails, ask again, as it
+	probably is user error.
+
+	* tar.c: Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__
+
+	* port.c: Clean up #ifdef and #defines a bit.
+	(quote_copy_string): Sometimes the malloc'd buffer would be up to

+
+	* extract.c (extract_archive): Don't declare ind static.
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Don't declare index_offset static.
+
+	* diffarch.c: Remove diff_name variable, and always use
+	head->header.name, which will always work, unlike diff_name, which
+	becomes trash when the next block is read in.
+
+1990-03-01  Jay Fenlason <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: Mention the -NO_REMOTE option.
+	* port.c [i386]: Fix typo, and define WANT_FTRUNCATE.
+
+1990-02-26  Jim Kingdon  <[email protected]>
+

+	#define yyparse to getdate_yyparse.
+
+1990-02-25  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c: Remove +old option, since it is a valid abbreviation of
+	+old-archive, which does the same thing.
+	(describe): A few small cleanups in message.
+
+1990-02-05  Jay Fenlason	<hack@wookumz>
+
+	* port.c [sparc]: Define LOSING_MSG, since doprnt_msg doesn't work.
+	[WANT_GETWD]: Fix typo.
+
+1990-01-26  Jay Fenlason	<hack@wookumz>
+
+	Version 1.08 --- Sparse file support added.  Also various other
+	features.
+
+	* diffarch.c (compare_chunk): Include correct arguments in
+	a call to fprintf() for an error msg.
+	(compare_chunks, compare_dir): First argument is a long, not an int.
+
+	* tar.c (options): Use tar variable (argv[0]) as the name to print
+ 	in an error msg, instead of a constant "tar".
+	(confirm): Use external variable char TTY_NAME[] for name of file
+	to open for confirmation input.
+
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): Ditto.
+
+	* port.c: Add declaration for TTY_NAME[].
+
+	* rmt.h: Add long declarations for lseek() and __rmt_lseek();
+
+1990-01-23  Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>
+
+	* tar.c, create.c: Create the +newer-mtime option, which is like
+	+newer, but only looks for files whose mtime is newer than the
+	given date.
+
+	* rtape_lib.c [USG]: Make *both* instances of signal-handler stuff
+	use void (*foo)().
+
+1990-01-11  Jay Fenlason  <hack@wookumz>
+
+	* getdate.y : Parse European dates of the form YYMMDD.
+	In ftime(): Init timezone by calling localtime(), and remember that
+	timezone is in seconds, but we want timeb->timezone to be in minutes.
+	Reported by Jörgen Haegg.
+
+	* rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): Also look for /usr/bsd/rsh.
+	Declare signal handler as returning void instead of int if USG is
+	defined.
+
+	* port.c: Declare WANT_GETWD for SGI 4-D IRIS.
+
+	* Makefile: Include defines for SGI 4D version.
+	Reported by Mike Muuss.
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_read): Work properly on broken Ultrix systems where
+	read() returns -1 with errno==ENOSPC on end of tape.  Correctly go
+	on to the next volume if f_multivol.
+
+	* list.c (list_archive, print_header): Flush msg_file after
+	printing messages.
+
+	* port.c: Delete unused references to alloca().

+1990-01-10  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (main): Change -help option and references to it to +help,
+	and remove suggestion to run info (which is unreleased, so not
+	likely to be of any help).
+
+1990-01-09  Jay Fenlason  <hack @wookumz>
+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Close file descriptor if start_header()
+	fails.
+	(dump_file): Change test for `./'-ness to not think that `.' {any
+	character} is a `./'.
+	Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.
+
+	* diffarch.c (diff_init): Print correct number of bytes in error
+	message.
+
+1990-01-09  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile: Add comment at top noting that two source files also
+	contain #defines that might need to be changed by hand.
+
+	* create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c: Change L_SET to 0 in lseek
+	calls, because only BSD defines it.
+	* create.c (dump_file) [BSD42]: Make sparse file checking code
+	conditional because it uses st_blocks, which the other systems lack.
+
+1990-01-02  Jay Fenlason <hack@gnu>
+
+	* port.c (quote_copy_string): Fix so it doesn't scramble memory if
+	the last character is non-printable.
+	Reported by Kian-Tat Lim.
+
+1989-12-19  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@pogo>

+
+	* create.c (dump_file): Remove typo in msg.
+
+1989-12-01  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@trix>
+
+	* Makefile: Remove comments referring to certain systems lacking
+	getopt, since it is now provided always and needed by all systems.
+
+	* port.c: Remove copy of getopt.c, as it is now linked in
+	separately to always get the current version.
+
+	* tar.c: Rename +cat-tars option to +catenate or +concatenate,
+	and +local-filesystem to +one-file-system (preferred by rms
+	and used in GNU cp for the same purpose).
+	(describe): Reflect changes.
+
+1989-11-28  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* port.c: Move declaration of alloca into #else /* sparc */
+	so it will compile on sparcs.
+
+1989-11-27  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options): Remove -version option (replaced by +version).
+	(describe): Mention long options.
+
+1989-11-25  David J. MacKenzie  <[email protected]>
+
+	* getoldopt.c (getoldopt): Make `opt_index' argument a pointer to
+	an int, not char.
+
+	* tar.c: Modify long options per rms's suggestions:
+	Make preserve-permissions an alias for same-permissions.
+	Make preserve-order an alias for same-order.
+	Define preserve to mean both of those combined.
+	Make old an alias for old-archive.
+	Make portability an alias for old-archive, also.
+	Rename sym-links to dereference.
+	Rename gnudump to incremental.
+	Rename filename to file.
+	Make compare an alias for diff.  Leave diff but prefer compare.
+	Rename blocking-factor to block-size.
+	Rename chdir to directory.
+	Make uncompress an alias for compress.
+	Rename confirm to interactive.
+	Make get an alias for extract.
+	Rename volume-header to volume.
+
+	Also make +version an alias for -version.
+
+	(options): Shorten code that interprets long options by using
+	the equivalent short options' code.  This also makes it tons
+	easier to change the long options.
+
+	(describe): Make usage message more internally consistent
+	stylistically.
+
+1989-11-20	[email protected]
+
+	* list.c (read_and): Call check_exclude() to see if the files
+	should be skipped on extract or list.
+
+1989-11-09  Jim Kingdon  <[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (fl_read): Fix typos in error message
+	"tar EOF not on block boundary".
+
+1989-10-23		<[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (long_options[]): Add an option for blocked compression.
+
+1989-10-19		<[email protected]>
+
+	* buffer.c (writeerror): Print a more useful error msg.
+
+1989-09-27		<[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (main): Mention "tar -help" if the luser types a non-workable
+	set of options.
+
+1989-09-11		<[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options): Have -F correctly set info_script.
+
+1989-08-29		<[email protected]>
+
+	* Makefile  Include ChangeLog in tar.tar and tar.tar.Z
+
+1989-08-28		<[email protected]>
+
+	* tar.c (options) Made -F imply -M.
+	Also remind tar that the -f option takes an argument!
+
+	* Modified -F option to make it do what (I think) it
+	should.  e.g, if you say -F, tar won't send a msg to
+	msg_file and wait for a <return> It'll just run the program
+	it was given, and when the prog returns, the new tape had
+	*better* be ready...
+
+	* buffer.c (open_archive): Give error message and abort if
+	the luser didn't give an archive name.
+
+1989-08-25		Joy Kendall <jak@hobbes>
+
+	* Added code to make a new option to run a specified script at
+	the end of each tape in a multi-volume backup.	Changed: tar.c:
+	made new switch, -F, and new long-named option, "info-script".
+	Code is where you would expect.
+	* tar.h: added flag f_run_script_at_end, and an extern char *
+	called info_script, which optarg gets set to.
+	* buffer.c (new_volume): if f_run_script_at_end is set, we give
+	info_script to system(), otherwise we do what we've always done.
+
+1989-08-24		Joy Kendall <jak@spiff>
+(These changes made over the course of 6/89 - 8/89)
+
+	* diffarch.c: diff_archive: Added switches for LF_SPARSE in the
+	case statements that needed it.  Also, skip any extended headers
+	if we need to when we skip over a file.  (need to change the bit
+	about, if the size doesn't agree AND the file is NOT sparse,
+	then there's a discrepancy, because I added another field to
+	the header which should be able to deal with the sizes): If
+	the file is sparse, call the added routine "diff_sparse_files"
+	to compare.  Also added routine "fill_in_sparse_array".
+
+	* extract.c: extract_archive: added the switch LF_SPARSE to the
+	case statement as needed, and code to treat the sparse file.
+	At label "again_file", modified opening the file to see if we
+	should have O_APPEND be one of the modes.  Added code at label
+	"extract_file" to call the new routine "extract_sparse_file"
+	when we have an LF_SPARSE flag.
+
+	Note: really should erase the commented-out code in there,
+	because it's confusing.
+
+	* update.c: made sure that if a file needed to be "skipped"
+	over, it would check to see if the linkflag was sparse, and if
+	so, would then make sure to skip over any "extended headers"
+	that might come after the header itself.  Do so by calling
+	"skip_extended_headers".
+
+	* create.c: create_archive: added code to detect a sparse file
+	when in the long case statement.  Added ways to detect extended
+	headers, and label "extend" (ack! should get rid of that, is
+	atrocious).  Call the new routine "finish_sparse_file" if the
+	linkflag is LF_SPARSE to write the info to the tape.  Also added
+	routines "init_sparsearray", "deal_with_sparse", "clear_buffer",
+	"where_is_data", "zero_record", and "find_new_file_size".
+
+	* tar.h: Added the #define's SPARSE_EXT_HDR and SPARSE_IN_HDR.
+	Added the struct sparse and the struct sp_array.  Added the
+	linkflag LF_SPARSE. Changed the tar header in several ways:
+	- added an array of struct sparse's SPARSE_IN_HDR long
+	- added a char flag isextended
+	- added a char string realsize to store the true size of a sparse file
+	Added another choice to the union record called a struct
+	extended_header, which is an array of 21 struct sparse's and a
+	char isextended flag.  Added flag f_sparse_file to list of flags.
+
+	* tar.c: added long-named options to make tar compatible with
+	getopt_long, changed Makefile.
+
+1989-03-03  David MacKenzie  (edf at rocky2.rockefeller.edu)
+(I'm not completely sure all these have been integrated -- FP.)
+
+	* buffer.c [USG]: ifdef'd out #include <sys/file.h>.
+	(close_archive): SysV doesn't have ftruncate, so substituted
+	fmtwrite (just copied the code for MS-DOS).
+	* create.c: Unos lacks <sys/sysmacros.h> so provided a substitute.
+	(start_header): Only strip leading paths if f_relative_paths is true.
+	* extract.c:
+	(extract_archive): Only strip leading paths if
+	f_relative_paths is true.  Because the Unos filesystem has
+	only one timestamp, moved the utime call to after the chown
+	and chmod calls.
+	* getdate.y: Don't define ftime if Unos.
+	* list.c: Defined size_t for Unos.  [USG]: Don't include <sys/file.h>.
+	Define <sys/sysmacros> stuff manually for Unos.
+	(decode_header): Add braces around switch cases; some compilers
+	require them.
+	(print_header): Changed UGSWIDTH from 11 to 25 because the smaller
+	value made tape listings of files owned by more than one user
+	gradually get wider, making them hard to read.
+	* port.c: Don't include <sys/file.h> if SysV.  Define
+	size_t for Unos.
+	(mkdir): Add code to support Unos makedir sys call.
+	(getopt): Use malloc instead of alloca, because tar doesn't
+	use alloca anywhere else and many systems lack it.  A few other
+	changes from the current version of getopt.c incorporated.
+	* rtape_lib.c: Undefine RMTIOCTL.  Doesn't seem to be needed,
+	and can't compile on Unos/SysV with it defined.  Might need to be
+	ifdef'd.
+	* tar.c: Alias addname to add_name and rmdir to deldir on Unos
+	due to C library weirdness.
+	(options): Recognize new -P option to set f_relative paths.
+	(describe): Clean up error message and add -P description.
+	* tar.h: Add variable, f_relative_paths, to cause tar to strip
+	leading `/' characters in pathnames during create and extract.
+	* tar.texinfo: Fixed a couple of typos, detected by texi2roff.
+	* update.c: Simulate <sys/sysmacros.h> for Unos.
+
+Previous releases by Jay Fenlason ([email protected])
+
+	* Version 1.07 --- New version to go on beta tape with GCC 1.35.
+	Better USG support.  Also support for __builtin_alloca if we're
+	compiling with GCC.
+
+	* diffarch.c: Include the correct header files so MTIOCTOP
+	is defined.
+	* tar.c:  Don't print the verbose list of options unless
+	given -help.  The list of options is *way* too long.
+
+	* Version 1.06 --- [__STDC__]: Use STDC_MSG.
+	ENXIO meand end-of-volume in archive (for the UNIX PC)
+	Added break after volume-header case (line 440) extract.c

+	Deleted refereces to UN*X manual sections (dump(8), etc)
+	Fixed to not core-dump on illegal options
+	Modified msg_perror to call perror("") instead of perror(0)
+	patch so -X - works
+	Fixed tar.c so 'tar cf - -C dir' doesn't core-dump
+	tar.c (name_match): Fixed to chdir() to the appropriate
+	directory if the matching name's change_dir is set.  This
+	makes tar xv -C foo {files} work.
+
+	* Version 1.05 --- A fix to make confirm() work when the archive is
+	on stdin; include 'extern FILE *msg_file;' in pr_mkdir().
+	* tar.h [__STDC__]: Fix to work.
+
+	Added to port.c: mkdir() ftruncate(): Removed: lstat()
+	Fixed -G to work with -X

+	buffer.c: modified child_open() to keep tar from hanging when
+	it is done reading/writing a compressed archive
+	added fflush(msg_file) before printing error messages
+	create.c: fixed to make link_names non-absolute
+
+	* Version 1.04 --- Added functions msg() and msg_perror(): Modified
+	all the files to call them.  Also checked that all (I hope) calls
+	to msg_perror() have a valid errno value.
+	(modified anno() to leave errno alone), etc.
+	Re-fixed the -X option.  This time for sure...
+	re-modified the msg stuff.  flushed anno() completely
+	Modified the directory stuff so it should work on sysV boxes
+	added ftime() to getdate.y
+	Fixed un_quote_string() so it won't wedge on \" Also fixed
+	\ddd (like \123, etc)
+	More fixes to tar.texinfo
+
+	* Version 1.03 --- Fixed buffer.c so 'tar tzf NON_EXISTENT_FILE'
+	returns an error message instead of hanging forever.
+	More fixes to tar.texinfo.
+
+	* Version 1.02 --- Fixed tar.c so 'tar -h' and 'tar -v' don't cause
+	core dump.  Also fixed the 'usage' message to be more up-to-date.
+	* diffarch.c [!MTIOCTOP]: Fixed so verify should compile.
+
+	* Version 1.01 --- Fixed typoes in tar.texinfo.
+	Fixed a bug in the #define for rmtcreat().
+	Fixed the -X option to not call realloc() of 0.

+	Installed new version of the remote-tape library.
+	Added -help option.
