S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO might be masked out.
(set_mode): Set the mode if some bits were masked out originally.

users not to use those broken hosts instead.
(repair_delayed_set_stat, extract_dir):
Remember to mask out current umask before inverting permissions.

special bits, create the directory 700 at first, but restore it later.
(open_output_file): New arg mode; all uses changed.

and m4/inttypes-pri.m4
2006-08-11 Paul Eggert
* bootstrap: Set XGETTEXT_OPTIONS to flag our printf-format functions,
so that translators are warned about strings that are formats but
don't look like formats. This might help prevent core dumps.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
.
(AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Upgrade from 0.12.1 to 0.15. The gettext
manual says we should use the version number normally expected of
maintainers, neither more nor less.
* bootstrap (get_translations):
Don't exclude ky.po; it is working again.
2006-08-09 Paul Eggert
* bootstrap (get_translations):

* po/.cvsignore: Add Makevars.
2006-08-07 Paul Eggert
* src/tar.c: Work around limitation imposed by gettext 0.15
by concatenating strings with "\v" after translation.
(doc): Remove, splitting into:
(doc0, doc1): New constants.
(argp): Don't use doc; just initialize to NULL.
(initialize_argp_doc): New function.
(decode_options): Use it.
* bootstrap: Redo po file retrieval to match Bison's method,
since the translation project changed its index format.
Don't use --assume-autoconf; it's now replaced
by looking in configure.ac.
(m4/codeset.m4, m4/intdiv.m4, m4/inttypes-pri.m4, m4/isc-posix.m4):
(m4/lcmessage.m4, m4/onceonly_2_57.m4, m4/gettext.m4, m4/glibc21.m4):
(m4/inttypes_h.m4, m4/lib-ld.m4, m4/lib-prefix.m4, m4/po.m4):
(m4/stdint_h.m4, m4/uintmax_t.m4, m4/ulonglong.m4):
Don't rename to ..._gl.m4, as this is no longer needed.
(m4/geteext.m4): Patch to remove the need for intl/*.
Use autopoint manually, then remove the intl files,
then undo changes to gnulib files that autoreconf made,
and then run aclocal/autoconf/autoheader/automake.
This makes our bootstrap procedure closer to Bison's.
(po/Makevars): Generate automatically.

carefully. Do not pass arbitrary char values to isspace, as
this has undefined behavior. Likewise for assigning arbitrary
uintmax_t values to other types.
(read_negative_num, read_unsigned_num, read_timespec):
New functions, to check input values a bit more carefully.
(read_num): Use read_unsigned_num. New arg MAX_VAL;
all callers changed.
(read_incr_db_2): Use these new functions.
Use a consistent diagnostic for unexpected EOF.
(read_directory_file): Do not assign arbitrary uintmax_t value
to int.
(read_timespec, write_directory_file_entry, write_directory_file):
Handle negative time_t values correctly. We don't bother to do
this with pre-2 formats, since presumably the time stamps were
output incorrectly.
* src/tar.c (doc): Don't use \v in an argument to gettext;
gettext 0.15 rejects this.
2006-07-24 Sergey Poznyakoff
* src/tar.c (decode_options): Do not require -L with -M -Hpax.
It could be needed in future, but currently it is not.
* src/create.c (to_chars_subst): Update comment regarding OLDGNU
vs. GNU format differences.

reported by TAMUKI Shoichi , which caused
equivalent `tar cf ...' and `tar rf ...' commands to produce
different archives.
* tests/append02.at: New test case
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/testsuite.at: Add append02.at
2006-07-20 Paul Eggert

it with --assume-autoconf='latest-stable'.
2006-07-16 Paul Eggert
Adjust to recent gnulib changes.

time", "change time" to "status change time", and "filesystem" to
"file system", so that we use terminology consistent with POSIX.
Use American spacing rather than French for sentence ends.
"non-dependable" -> "undependable".

--atime-preserve option, and suggest read-only mounts,loopback
mounts, and noatime mounts for older systems.

attributes; this saves path-resolution time and allows us to avoid
changing mtime/ctime on Solaris when restoring atime as root.
Use O_DIRECTORY when opening directories, to avoid some race conditions.
Do not reset atime if mtime has changed. Report an error if
we cannot reset atime.

2005-05-12 Sergey Poznyakoff
* NEWS: Updated
* THANKS: Updated
* bootstrap: Install files from paxutils/doc
* doc/Makefile.am (tar_TEXINFOS): Add genfile.texi
* doc/tar.texi (Genfile): New appendix
* src/compare.c (diff_file): diff_handle was not initialized
* src/create.c (dump_regular_file): Correctly pad archive members
that shrunk during archiving. Repored by Frank Heckenbach.
* src/extract.c (file_newer_p): Return false if file does not
exist
(prepare_to_extract): Correct warning wording.
* tests/truncate.at: New test case
* tests/Makefile.am: Add truncate.at
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
* doc/.cvsignore: Updated
* lib/.cvsignore: Updated
* tests/.cvsignore: Updated
2005-05-02 Paul Eggert
* tests/multivol04.at: Tell awk to read from /dev/null.
Adjust to recent gnulib changes.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add dup-safer.c, fd-safer.c, unistd-safer.h.
* src/common.h (initial_umask): New var.
* src/create.c (start_ueader): Use it, and adjust to new modechange
API.
(hash_link): unsigned -> size_t parameters and result.
* src/incremen.c (hash_directory): Likewise.
* src/names.c (hash_string_hasher): Likewise.
* src/tar.c (parse_opt): Set it, and adjust to new modechange API.
2005-04-19 Sergey Poznyakoff
* tests/Makefile.am: Add shortrec.at.
2005-04-18 Paul Eggert
* src/buffer.c (reading_from_pipe): Remove. All uses removed.
(short_read): Don't warn about short reads; they're normal.
* tests/shortrec.at: New file.
* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
* bootstrap (gnulib_modules): Don't create a file modlist.tmp, as
it is sometimes left behind as a garbage file (maybe due to the
multiple traps?).
2005-04-14 Sergey Poznyakoff
* src/list.c: Handle Solaris 'X' type flag
* src/tar.h (SOLARIS_XHDTYPE): New define
2005-04-06 Sergey Poznyakoff
* src/tar.c: Minor fixes to text messages. Proposed by Benno
Schulenberg.
* src/extract.c: Likewise
(extract_file): Assign orig_file_name
to save_name uniformly over the program. This fixes matching
directory names at the start of an archive volume.
* src/buffer.c (flush_write): Warn when the name of the archive
straddling volume boundary is longer than 100 characters. Earlier
behavior was to issue a fatal error.
(struct zip_magic): Reverted part of changes from 2005-04-04.
They make the maintenance too costly. Removing `unsigned'
qualifier from `magic' member should be enough.
* src/compare.c (diff_init): Read directory file if in listed
incremental. This prevents spurious 'Contents differ' diagnostics.
(diff_archive): Minor fixes to text messages
(diff_file,diff_dumpdir,diff_multivol): Assign orig_file_name
to save_name uniformly over the program. This fixes matching
directory names at the start of an archive volume.
* src/create.c: Assign orig_file_name
to save_name uniformly over the program. This fixes matching
directory names at the start of an archive volume.
* src/list.c: Likewise
* tests/multiv03.at: Modified to match the new behavior
* tests/multiv04.at: New file. Test splitting directory members between
the archive volumes.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add multiv04.at
* tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
2005-04-04 Paul Eggert
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Rename from config to build-aux,
for reasons discussed in the thread beginning at
.
* .cvsignore: Remove config; add build-aux.
* src/buffer.c (struct zip_magic): Use char arrays, not pointers.
The unsigned char * pointer ran afoul of pedantic C compilers, and
we didn't need pointers anyway. Put the size field before the
data to avoid unnecessary padding. All uses changed.
(magic) Make it const, since it doesn't change. All uses changed.
2005-04-02 Paul Eggert
* src/xheader.c (decode_record): Don't dump core when given
a corrupted extended header. Problem reported by Jim Meyering.
Also, check for other ways that the header might be invalid,
e.g., missing newline at end. Do not allow keys with nulls.
Allow blanks before and after length, as POSIX requires.
Do not allow leading "-" in length. Check for length overflow.
(xheader_decode, xheader_decode_global): Let decode_record
check for exhaustion of record.
(xheader_read): Null-terminate the extended record;
decode_record relies on this.
2005-03-21 Paul Eggert
* bootstrap (TP_URL): Change from
to
to avoid
some redirection glitches.
Use "trap - 0" rather than "trap 0" to fix a POSIX-conformance bug.
* doc/.cvsignore: Change "tar.info" to "tar.info*". Sort.
* lib/.cvsignore: Add intprops.h (new gnulib file).
2005-03-04 Sergey Poznyakoff
* src/list.c (print_header): Print UID/GID in case of
empty user/group name. This could occur when dumping
files belonging to non-existing users and when listing
broken archives.
Reported by Igor Lautar.
* src/create.c: Correctly parse empty uname/gname
* src/sparse.c (sparse_scan_file): Bugfix. offset had
incorrect type.
* scripts/backup.in: Use `head -n 1'. Provide missing
argument to ${MT_STATUS}. Proposed by Jan Merka.
* scripts/backup.sh.in: Likewise. Fixed typo in
MT_OFFLINE assignment.
* scripts/restore.in (restore_fs): Use root_fs
2005-02-15 Sergey Poznyakoff
* src/create.c: Replace strdup with xstrdup
* src/names.c: Likewise
* src/tar.c: Likewise
* tests/append01.at: Added reference to bug-tar archive
* tests/listed02.at: Use -print with find.
