- Hey! Emacs! Yo! This is -*- Text -*- !!!
- This is GNU tar 1.11.2. Please send bug reports, etc., to
- [email protected]. This is a beta-test release. Please
- try it out. There is no manual; the release of version 1.12 will
- contain a manual.
- GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with
- added features. The manual is currently being written.
- This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which
- normally must reside in /etc). The mt tape drive control program is
- in the GNU cpio distribution.
- See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions for Unix.
- See the file NEWS for information on all that is new in this version
- of tar.
- makefile.pc is a makefile for Turbo C 2.0 on MS-DOS.
- Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT. In
- order to have them work right, you need to kill the automounting
- program which tries to mount floppies as soon as they are added.
- If you want to do incremental dumps, use the distributed backup
- scripts. They are what we use at the FSF to do all our backups. Most
- importantly, do not use --incremental (-G) or --after-date (-N) or
- --newer-mtime to do incremental dumps. The only option that works
- correctly for this purpose is --listed-incremental. (When extracting
- incremental dumps, use --incremental (-G).)
- If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has
- rename in the C library (so HAVE_RENAME is defined), -lPW might
- give you an incorrect version of rename. On HP-UX this manifests
- itself as an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking cp, ln,
- and mv. If this happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a
- and `ar rc' to put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS
- instead of -lPW. This problem does not occur when using gcc, which
- has alloca built in.
