        system does not support sparse files.
        * doc/tar.texi (@copying): Remove the reference to not existing
        invariant section.

2006-04-11  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

        * src/extract.c (extract_dir): Fix toggling existing directory
        permissions (Debian bug #361077). Use parts of patch provided by
        Ian Jackson <iwj@ubuntu.com>. 
        * src/compare.c: Minor changes
        * src/incremen.c (directory.new): New member
        (note_directory,find_directory: Use make_directory to create
        struct directory entries

        * THANKS: Add Benno Schulenberg

2006-03-13  Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

        * tests/listed02.at:  Sort the two lines of stderr from the
        first `tar -v --listed-incremental'.  They would come out
        reversed and provoke a test failure on a tmpfs
        file system.

2006-03-13  Benno Schulenberg <benno@nietvergeten.nl>

        * doc/tar.texi: Minor fixes.

        This doesn't result in any measurable performance improvement
        on my host (Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 stable, with default block size),
        but I assume it does help on some hosts.

        * lib/.cvsignore: Sort.

2006-03-04  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

        * tests/shortrec.at: Use -f - to read from stdin.

        * tests/multiv04.at (split directory members in a MV archive):
        Don't use %X in an awk printf format; this doesn't work with
        Solaris 10 /usr/bin/awk.  Use %x instead.

2006-02-20  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

        * src/create.c (split_long_name): Fix maximum length estimation.

        * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New members is_dumpdir and skipped.

2005-12-07  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

        * doc/tar.texi: Following the discussion with Karl Berry,
        discontinue using @value{} substitutions for Texinfo commands.
        Properly index all long options. Print a
        separate long option index.

        proposed patch.

2005-11-30  Ian Turner  <ian@zmanda.com>

        * doc/tar.texi (Extracting Specific Files): Remove obsolescent
        FIXME.

2005-11-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * NEWS: New option --atime-preserve=system, which uses O_NOATIME.
        * THANKS: Add Ian Turner.

        * configure.ac: Prefer AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
        Check for stropts.h and sys/filio.h too, for _FIOSATIME.
        * doc/tar.texi: Change "modification time" to "data modification
        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".
        (Option Summary, Attributes): Explain better the pitfalls of the
        --atime-preserve option, and suggest read-only mounts,loopback
        mounts, and noatime mounts for older systems.
        * doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-system): Renamed from
        op-atime-preserver-system to fix a misspelling.
        * src/common.h (enum atime_preserve): Use lower case for enum values.
        * src/compare.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
        (diff_file): Use set_file_atime rather than utimens; avoid closing
        diff_handle until after this, so that we can set the file time stamp
        via the file descriptor rather than via its name.
        * src/create.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
        (dump_regular_finish): Remove.  All callers now do its work inline.
        (dump_dir): New arg FD.  All callers changed.
        Use fdsavedir rather than savedir.
        (unknown_file_error): Arg is a const pointer now.
        (dump_file0): 2nd arg is a const pointer now.
        Treat directories more like files, with respect to --atime-preserve.
        For example, also warn if a directory changes while we are dumping it.
        Prefer file descriptors to file names when retrieving/setting file
        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.

        * lib/.cvsignore: Add malloc.h, regcomp.c, regex.c, regex.h,
        regex_internal.c, regex_internal.h, regexc.c; used by rpmatch.

2005-11-29  Ian Turner  <ian@zmanda.com>

        First cut at adding support for --atime-preserve=system.
        * doc/tar.texi (Option Summary): First cut at documenting it.
        All other uses of --atime-preserve changed to --atime-preserve=replace.
        * doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-replace, op-atime-preserver-system):
        New.
        (op-atime-preserve): Mention METHOD.
        * src/common.h (atime_preserve): New enum.
        (atime_preserve_option): Now of the enum type rather than bool.
        All uses changed.
        * src/compare.c (diff_file): Read with O_NOATIME if asked for.
        * src/create.c (dump_file0): Read regular and CTG files with O_NOATIME
        if asked for.
        * src/tar.c (usage): Mention new usage.
        (parse_opt): Parse new usage.

2005-11-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        open.

        * tests/multiv01.at, tests/multiv02.at, tests/multiv03.at,

        tests/star/multi-fail.at: Close stdin so that if something fails
        causing tar to ask for the next volume, it won't hang the
        testsuite.

        * src/buffer.c (flush_write,flush_read): Change data type.
        (flush_archive): Compute actual buffer fill level before calling

        (simple_flush_write): Take an argument.
        (_gnu_flush_write): Correctly handle partially filled buffers.

        Fix splitting of sparse files between the volumes.

        * src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Bugfix. Always check
        continued_file_name. If it is absent, the volume is out
        of sync.
        (add_multi_volume_header): Create GNU.volume.filename keyword in
        the extended header.
        * src/sparse.c (sparse_dump_region): Call mv_size_left.

        * src/buffer.c: Rewritten in a more modular fashion to provide
        GNU extensions (multi-volume archives and archive labels) in
        pax format.
        NOTICE, that some of the aspects (e.g. splitting the archive
        on the extended header boundary) are still not solved, others
        (splitting a sparse file between the volume) require additional
        testing. Wait for the next commit.

        with the global variables.
        * src/sparse.c: Use mv_.* functions where necessary.
        * src/tar.c (decode_options): Allow to use --multi-volume and
        --label with pax archives.

        (write_directory_file_entry): Support new directory file format.
        * tests/listed01.at: Sleep 1 sec before creating second file.

2005-06-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        A sweep of the sparse code prompted by a bug report by Jim Meyering.
        * src/sparse.c: Include <inttostr.h>.

        (parse_scan_file): Cache commonly-used parts of file.
        Use an auto buffer, not a static one.
        Don't bother clearing the buffer; not needed.
        Don't bother clearing items that are already clear.
        (oldgnu_optab, star_optab, pax_optab): Now const.
        (sparse_dump_region): Don't bother clearing the buffer before
        reading into it; just clear the parts that aren't read into.
        (sparse_dump_file): Clear the whole local variable 'file'.
        (diff_buffer): Remove; now a local var.
        (check_sparse_region): Don't bother clearing buffer before
        reading into it.  Don't assume off_t is promoted to long.
        (oldgnu_get_sparse_info, star_get_sparse_info):
        Use an auto status, not static.
        * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): had_trailing_slash is
        now bool, not int.
        * src/xheader.c (sparse_offset_coder, sparse_numbytes_coder):
        Rewrite to avoid cast.
        (sparse_offset_decoder, sparse_numbytes_decoder):
        Diagnose excess entries rather than crashing.

2005-06-22  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        * src/common.h (timespec_lt): Add a return type: bool.

2005-06-21  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        Further improvements inspired by Jim Meyering's fixes.

        * NEWS: Better support for full-resolution time stamps.
        The -v option now prints time stamps only to 1-minute resolution.
        * gnulib.modules: Add utimens.
        * lib/.cvsignore: Add imaxtostr.c, inttostr.c, inttostr.h,

        lib/obstack.c.
        * src/buffer.c (set_start_time, compute_duration, start_time):
        Use gettime rather than rolling our own code.
        * src/common.h (OLDGNU_NAME_FIELD_SIZE, MAXOCTAL11, MAXOCTAL7): Remove.
        (newer_ctime_option): Remove.
        (timespec_lt): New function.
        (OLDER_STAT_TIME): Use it.
        (string_to_chars): First arg is char const *, not char *.
        (tartime): Time arg is now struct timespec.  New bool arg.
        All callers changed.
        (code_ns_fraction): New decl.
        (sys_stat_nanoseconds): Remove decl.
        (get_stat_atime, get_stat_ctime, get_stat_mtime): New functions.
        (set_stat_atime, set_stat_ctime, set_stat_mtime): New functions.
        * src/compare.c: Include utimens.h rather than rolling our own.
        (diff_dir, diff_file, diff_link, diff_symlink, diff_special):
        Prototype.
        (diff_dumpdir, diff_multivol): Prototype.

        the destination is already zeroed.
        (string_to_chars): First arg is char const *.
        (start_private_header): Use MINOR_TO_CHARS, not MAJOR_TO_CHARS,
        for minor device number.
        (write_header_name, dump_hard_link, dump_file0):
        Simplify test for old GNU format.
        (start_header): Put in placeholders for uid, etc., even when
        using extended headers, for benefit of older "tar" implementations.
        Don't assume uintmax_t is wider than 32 bits.
        Output extended header for mtime if needed.
        (dump_regular_finish, dump_file0):
        Support extended time stamp resolution.

        Do not include <xstrtol.h>.
        (strtoimax) [!HAVE_DECL_STRTOIMAX && !defined strtoimax]: New decl.

        (BILLION, LOG10_BILLION): New constants.
        (to_decimal): Remove; superseded by inttostr.  All callers changed
        to use umaxtostr.
        (xheader_format_name): Don't assume pids and uintmax_t values
        fit in 63 bytes (!) when printed.
        (decode_record): Don't bother to check for ERANGE; an out of range
        value must be treater than len_max anyway.
        If the length is out of range, output it in the diagnostic.
        (format_uintmax): Remove; all callers changed to use umaxtostr.
        (xheader_print): Don't assume sizes can be printed in 99 bytes (!).
        (out_of_range_header): New function.
        (decode_time): Use it.
        (code_time): Accept struct timespec, not time_t and unsigned long.
        All callers changed.  Size sbuf properly, and remove unnecessary check.
        Don't assume time stamps can fit in 199 bytes.
        Handle negative time stamps.  Handle fractional time stamps
        more consistently.  Don't output unnecessary trailing zeros.
        (decode_time): Yield struct timespec, not time_t and unsigned long.
        All callers changed.
        Handle negative time stamps.  Truncate towards minus infinity
        consistently.  Improve overflow checks, and output a better
        diagnostic on overflow.
        (code_num): Don't assume uintmax_t can be printed in 99 bytes (!).
        (decode_num): New function, for better diagnostics.
        (atime_coder, atime_decoder, gid_decoder, ctime_coder):
        (ctime_decoder, mtime_coder, mtime_decoder, size_decoder):
        (uid_decoder, sparse_size_decoder, sparse_numblocks_decoder):
        (sparse_offset_decoder, sparse_numbytes_decoder):
        Use decode_num, etc., instead of xstrtoumax, etc.

2005-06-21  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

        Carefully crafted invalid headers can cause buffer overrun.
        Invalid header fields go undiagnosed.
        Some valid time strings are ignored.

        * src/xheader.c (sparse_numblocks_decoder): Remove unchecked use
        of `calloc'.  Use xcalloc instead.
        (decode_time, gid_decoder, size_decoder, uid_decoder):
        (sparse_size_decoder, sparse_offset_decoder, sparse_numblocks_decoder):
        Ensure that the result of calling xstrtoumax is no larger than
        the maximum value for the target type.  Upon any failure, exit with
        a diagnostic.
        (sparse_numblocks_decoder): Avoid buffer overrun/heap corruption:
        use x2nrealloc, rather than `n *= 2' and xrealloc(p, n,....
        (decode_time): Rewrite to accept time strings like
        1119018481.000000000.  Before, such strings were always ignored.

2005-06-13  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/create.c (dump_file0): Check for is_avoided_name()
        first. Fixes bug reported by Martin Lohmeier

2005-06-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * src/names.c (excluded_name): excluded_filename ->
        excluded_file_name, because the name was changed in gnulib.

2005-05-30  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/tar.c (read_name_from_file,update_argv): Automatically
        detect nul-terminated list files.
        * NEWS: Updated

        * scripts/backup.sh.in (mt_begin,mt_rewind)
        (mt_offline,mt_status): Use $MT to invoke mt
        (init_common): Set --rsh-command option for mt if TAPE_FILE is a
        remote archive.
        * doc/tar.texi: Document new backup scripts behavior

2005-05-22  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        to be appended to destination file names.
        Import paxutils/paxlib files.
        * configure.ac: Remove checking for LIB_SETSOCKOPT, it is handled
        by paxutils.
        * lib/Makefile.tmpl (libtar_a_SOURCES): Add paxerror.c paxexit.c
        paxconvert.c

2005-05-12  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * 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  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * 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  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * tests/Makefile.am: Add shortrec.at.

2005-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * 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  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/list.c: Handle Solaris 'X' type flag
        * src/tar.h (SOLARIS_XHDTYPE): New define

2005-04-06  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@mirddin.farlep.net>

        * 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 splittind directory members between
        the archive volumes.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Add multiv04.at
        * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.

2005-04-04  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Rename from config to build-aux,
        for reasons discussed in the thread beginning at
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2005-03/msg00119.html>.
        * .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  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * 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  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        * bootstrap (TP_URL): Change from
        <http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~gnutra/po/maint/tar/> to
        <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/tar/> 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  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * 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  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * 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.

2005-02-11  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * THANKS: Added Tim Adye. Fixed UTF.
        * src/list.c (read_header): Removed assignment to
        oldgnu_header.isextended. It was breaking append mode.

        * tests/append01.at: New test.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Added append01.at
        * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise

2005-02-06  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * gnulib.modules: New file. List of required gnulib
        modules.
        * bootstrap: Merge list of required modules from
        paxutils with that from tar proper.
        * src/tar.c: Various fixes in help and diagnostic messages.

2005-02-05  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/common.h (EXTRACT_OVER_PIPE): New macro
        * src/compare.c: Code clean up.
        * src/extract.c (extract_archive): Do not check for
        EXTRACT_OVER_PIPE, decode_options() does this.
        * src/misc.c (exec_error,fork_error,dup2_error)
        (pipe_error): Removed unneeded functions.
        * src/system.c (sys_exec_command): Use xclose, xpipe,
        xfork, xdup2 and exec_fatal.
        * src/tar.c (options): Improved sorting. Document --backup=off.
        (decode_options): Clear backup_option if necessary.

2005-02-05  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        Initial implementation of --to-command option proposed
        by Hansjoerg Lipp.

        * bootstrap: Get setenv module from gnulib

        (sys_exec_command,sys_wait_command): New commands
        * src/extract.c (extract_file): Handle to_command_option
        Fix error recovery: decrease `size' by `written', not
        by `count', otherwise tar misses the next header
        Do not diagnose write error if to_command_option
        is set, since the command may have exited prematurely.
        It would be better to check for sigpipe, though.
        (prepare_to_extract): Handle to_command_option
        * src/misc.c (exec_error, fork_error, dup_error)
        (pipe_error): New functions
        * src/system.c (sys_exec_command)
        (sys_wait_command): New functions
        * src/tar.c: Handle new options --to-command,
        --ignore-command-error
        * THANKS: Added Hansjoerg Lipp

        * src/list.c (from_header): New arg OCTAL_ONLY, normally false.
        All uses changed.  Fix typo that sometimes suppressed all "Archive
        contains obsolescent base-64 headers" warnings, not just the first
        one.
        (tar_checksum): Accept only octal checksums, since they aren't
        supposed to overflow into weird formats.

        Adjust to gnulib changes.
        * lib/.cvsignore: Add chdir-long.c, chdir-long.h, memrchr.c,
        memrchr.h, openat.c, openat.h.  Remove pathmax.h (added by
        mistake, perhaps?), sysexit.h (my typo), xstrdup.c (gnulib removed
        this file).  Sort entries.

2004-02-21  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/create.c (dump_file0): The conditional at line
        1296 prevented incremental backups on individual files
        from working, as reported by Andreas Schuldei
        <andreas@schuldei.org>.

        This is due to the condition

          (0 < top_level || !incremental_option)

        Removing it makes incremental backups work for individual
        files as well as for directories. On the other hand, it does
        not affect other functionality, as shown by the reasoning below:

        To begin with, the two parts of this condition are mutually
        superfluous, because

          1) when top_level < 0, incremental_option == 1
          so the condition yields false
          2) when top_level >= 0, incremental_option == 0
          so the condition yields true.

        In other words, it is completely equivalent to

              (!incremental_option)

        Now, let's consider the effect of its removal. There are two cases:

        1) when incremental_option==1
        This means incremental backup in progress. In this case dump_file
        is invoked only for directories or for files marked with 'Y' by
        get_directory_contents. The latter are those that did not meet the
        condition in incremen.c:242, which is exactly the same condition
        as this at create.c:1296. So, for these files the check
        (!incremental_option) is useless, since the rest of the
        conditional will yield false anyway. On the other hand, if
        dump_file is invoked on a directory, the conditional will yield
        false due to !S_ISDIR assertion, so these will be processed as usual.

        Thus, for this case the extra condition (!incremental_option) is
        irrelevant, and its removal won't alter the behavior of tar,
        *except* that it will enable incremental backups on individual
        files, which is the wanted effect.

        2) when incremental_option==0
        In this case the condition yields true and its removal does not
        affect the functionality.

        * THANKS: Updated
        * configure.ac: Raised patchlevel to 93
        * src/incremen.c: Minor stylistic fixes.

        declarations
        (xheader_ghdr_name): Changed declaration
        * src/create.c (start_private_header): Removed static qualifier.

        --format arguments are given. This is a common case when
        TAR_OPTIONS are used.
        (decode_options): New option --show-defaults displays the
        compiled-in defaults.
        Use POSIX format if no --format option was given and
        --pax-option was specified.
        Do not allow to use --pax-option unless the archive format is
        set to POSIX (or reading subcommand is requested).

        (xheader_ghdr_name): Removed unused argument.
        (xheader_write,xheader_write_global): New function.
        (xheader_decode): Modified to honor overrides whatever

        unconditionally.
        * src/list.c (decode_header): Likewise.
        * src/incremen.c (sort_obstack): Fixed typo in the comment

        * doc/tar.texi: Document new default for extended
        header names.

        * tests/before: Accept an optional list of allowed archive
        formats. Exit with the status 77 if the current archive
        format does not match any of them.
        * tests/delete03.sh: Require gnu, oldgnu or posix format
        * tests/incremen.sh: Require gnu or oldgnu format
        * tests/multiv01.sh: Likewise

2004-02-20  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * bootstrap: Likewise
        * lib/Makefile.am: Likewise
        * src/common.h (xheader_xhdr_name,xheader_ghdr_name): New
        functions
        * src/create.c (write_extended): Call xheader_xhdr_name
        instead of using hardcoded "././@PaxHeader" name.
        * src/tar.c: New option --pax-option (equivalent to -o option
        of pax).
        * src/xheader.c: Implement pax -o option. Fixed misleading
        heading comment (introduced 2003-09-02).
        * src/incremen.c: Minor fixes

2004-02-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Fix Debian bug 230872, originally reported by Jeff King in
        <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=230872>.

        * doc/tar.texi (posix compliance): Remove.  The whole section
        was a misunderstanding of what POSIXLY_CORRECT is supposed to
        mean.  The GNU Coding Standards says that POSIXLY_CORRECT
        is for disabling extensions that are incompatible with POSIX:
        it is not for disabling compatible extensions.  All references
        to this section removed.
        (posix): This format is created only if the posix format is
        specified; it is no longer created if gnu format is specified
        and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
        * src/tar.c (decode_options): Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
        POSIX does not specify the behavior of tar, so we should
        not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT here.

2004-01-21  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

2004-01-21  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * bootstrap: Bugfix by Marco Gerards <metgerards@student.han.nl>:
        Use $option instead of $1 so all options will be parsed.

2004-01-04  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        Started rewriting buffer.c ...

        * bootstrap: New option --no-po

        * src/tar.c (decode_options): More option compatibility checks
        (moved from buffer.c)
        * src/update.c (time_to_start_writing): Changed data type.
        * tests/recurse.sh: New test case.
        * tests/mksparse.c: New file.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Added recurse.sh and mksparse.c

2004-01-02  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>

        * src/sparse.c (sparse_diff_file): Bugfix. Thanks
        Martin Simmons for the patch.
        * src/create.c (dump_dir0): Bugfix. Thanks Piotr Czerwinski
        <pius@pld-linux.org> for the patch.

2003-12-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Synchronize with Gettext 0.13.1, Automake 1.8, Autoconf 2.59,
        and translation website.

        * bootstrap: Don't bother skipping codeset.m4, glibc21.m4,
        intdiv0.m4, inttypes_h.m4, inttypes.m4, inttypes-pri.m4,
        isc-posix.m4, and lcmessage.m4 from gnulib.  This list of files is
        a bit obsolete anyway, now that gettext 0.13.1 is out.  Also, the
        files are replaced by autoreconf.  Also, there seems to be a bug
        in gettext/autoconf/automake if we try to omit these files after
        autoreconf has replaced them, even though the gettext manual says
        they're optional.  So give up and just include them for now, even
        though they make 'configure' longer and slower.

        Change translation URL from
        <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/tar/> to
        <http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~gnutra/po/maint/tar/> to
        accommodate translator website revamp.

        Fail if autoreconf fails.

        * m4/.cvsignore: Add intmax.m4, longdouble.m4, printf-posix.m4,
        signed.m4, size_max.m4, wchar_t.m4, wint_t.m4, xsize.m4, to
        ignore files now supplied by gettext 0.13.1.

        archive file size to determine if we have to do with a
        sparse file.

        "stripped_path_len" in declaration.

        Upgrade to latest version from external source.  The file "bootstrap"
        now grabs these automatically, so we needn't keep track of them
        in this change long any longer.

        * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove.  Now done by configure.ac.
        (SUBDIRS): Remove intl.

        * lib/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove.
        (EXTRA_DIST, libtar_a_SOURCES): Switch to gnulib, so that they
        are built up in pieces with +=.
        (noinst_HEADERS, INCLUDES): Remove.

        prereq.m4, xstrtoimax.m4.

        * po/POTFILES.in: Remove tests/genfile.c; it doesn't need to
        be translated, since it's not a user-visible tool.

        * scripts/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove.

        * src/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Remove.
        (INCLUDES): Remove ../intl.  Put top-srcdir before ., for
        consistency with coreutils.
        (LDADD): Link LIBINTL after libtar.a, since
        it's now external and should stand by itself.

        * src/buffer.c (print_total_written): Adjust to new human.h
        interface.

        * src/compare.c (now_verifying): Now bool, not int.
        (fill_in_sparse_array): Move to extract.c.  Now returns bool;
        all callers changed to test for failure.
        (diff_sparse_files): Take size from current_stat, not from param.
        (diff_archive): Do not count trailing slashes in archives.
        (verify_volume): Test for header failure after loop, not before.

        * src/create.c (relativize): Remove; replaced by safer_name_suffix.
        All callers changed.
        (start_header): Clear devmajor and devminor fields, too.
        (finish_header): New arg block_ordinal.
        (init_sparsearray): Now extern.  Set sp_array_size to
        SPARSES_IN_OLDGNU_HEADER if it is zero.
        (dump_file): Keep link table as a hash.
        Do not count "file changed as we read it" as a failure.

        * src/delete.c (recent_long_name_blocks, recent_long_link_blocks):
        Move extern decl to common.h.

        * src/extract.c (we_are_root): Now bool, not int.
        (check_time): Warn about implausibly old time stamps.
        (set_stat): Use utimbuf, not stat_info.
        (prepare_to_extract): New arg DIRECTORY.
        (fill_in_sparse_array): Moved here from compare.c.
        (extract_sparse_file): Now returns off_t, giving size left.
        Truncate file at end.
        (extract_archive): Use safer_name_suffix rather than rolling our own.
        Use fill_in_sparse_array rather than rolling our own.
        Strip trailing slashes more effectively.
        Check for unsafe names.

        * src/incremen.c (struct directory): nfs and found are now of type
        bool, not int.
        (gnu_restore): Now takes directory name as argument, not offset
        of directory name in a global.  All uses changed.
        (CURRENT_FILE_NAME): Remove.

        New tests.
        * tests/delete04.sh, tests/multiv01.sh, tests/options.sh: New
        files.

2002-09-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/rmt.c (prepare_input_buffer): Renamed form
        prepare_record_buffer.  All uses changed.  Do not assume that
        size_t is the same width as int.

2002-03-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * src/incremen.c (get_directory_contents):
        If ignore_failed_read_option, only warn about
        get_directory_contents failures.  Fix suggested by
        Mark Costlow.

2002-01-31  Mark W. Eichin  <eichin@thok.org>

        * src/buffer.c (child_open_for_compress): Don't try to read
        past the end of the buffer.

2001-10-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * argmatch.c (argmatch_invalid): Use quotearg_n_style (0, ...
        and quote_n (1, ... to avoid clobbering a buffer.

2001-09-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.13.25.

        * src/buffer.c (flush_read): Don't diagnose partial blocks before
        end of file; just ignore them silently.

        * src/list.c (read_header): Don't keep around extended name
        and link info indefinitely; keep it only for the next file.
        This fixes a bug introduced in 1.13.24, and removes the need
        for some static variables.  Set recent_long_name and
        recent_long_link to zero if there were no long links; this
        avoids a violation of ANSI C rules for pointers in delete.c.
        * THANKS: Add Christian Laubscher.

2001-09-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * doc/tar.texi (Remote Tape Server): is know -> is known

2001-09-25  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/unicodeio.c (EILSEQ): Include <iconv.h> first, since
        <iconv.h> may define EILSEQ (e.g. libiconv).  Define a
        replacement EILSEQ to be ENOENT, not EINVAL, since callers may
        want to distinguish EINVAL and EILSEQ.

2001-09-24  Christophe Kalt  <Christophe.Kalt@kbcfp.com>

        * src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable):
        Treat OVERWRITE_OLD_DIRS like DEFAULT_OLD_FILES.

2001-09-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.13.24.

        * ABOUT-NLS, intl/*: Update to gettext-0.10.40, replacing LGPL
        with GPL.

        Remove copysym.h.  Add print-copyr.h, unicodeio.h.
        (libtar_a_SOURCES): Remove copysym.c, Add print-copyr.c, unicodeio.c.

        * lib/copysym.c, lib/copysym.h: Remove.
        * lib/print-copyr.c, lib/print-copyr.h, lib/unicodeio.c,
        lib/unicodeio.h: New files.

        * lib/error.c, lib/getopt.c, lib/getopt.h, lib/getopt1.c,
        lib/mktime.c, lib/strtoll.c: Switch from LGPL to GPL.

        * lib/quotearg.c (HAVE_MBSINIT): Undef if !HAVE_MBRTOWC.
        (mbsinit): Define to 1 if !defined mbsinit && !HAVE_MBSINIT.

        * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove isc-posix.m4.
        * m4/isc-posix.m4: Remove.

        * m4/prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_QUOTEARG): Check for mbsinit.

        * po/POTFILES.in: Add copyright notice.

        * src/Makefile.am (LDADD): Like libtar.a before @INTLLIBS@ as
        well as after.
        * tests/Makefile.am (LDADD): Likewise.

        * src/buffer.c (write_archive_buffer, close_archive):
        If an archive is a socket, treat it like a FIFO.
        (records_read, records_written): New vars.
        (write_archive_to_stdout): Now bool, not int.
        (open_archive, flush_write, flush_read): Keep records_read and
        records_written up to date.

        * src/common.h (enum old_files): New value OVERWRITE_OLD_DIRS.
        (write_archive_to_stdout): Now bool, not int.
        (enum read_header): New value HEADER_SUCCESS_EXTENDED.
        (read_header): Now takes bool arg.  Existing callers modified
        to pass 0, unless otherwise specified.

        * src/delete.c (records_read): Remove; now a global.
        (acting_as_filter): Now bool, not int.
        (recent_long_name, recent_long_link, recent_long_name_blocks,
        recent_long_link_blocks, records_read, records_written): New decls.
        (records_skipped): New var.
        (move_archive): Don't divide by zero if arg is 0.
        Use the above vars to compute how far to move.
        (write_recent_blocks): New function.
        (delete_archive_member): Pass 1 to read_header, so that it doesn't
        read more than 1 block.  Handle resulting HEADER_SUCCESS_EXTENDED code.
        Keep track of how many records have been skipped.
        Let the buffer code count records.
        When copying a header, copy any extended headers that came before it.

        * src/extract.c (extract_archive): When marking a directory to be
        updated after symlinks, stat all directories after it in the
        delayed-set-stat list too, since they will be checked after
        symlinks.  Add support for --overwrite-dir.

        * src/list.c (recent_long_name, recent_long_link,
        recent_long_name_blocks, recent_long_link_blocks): New vars.
        (read_and): Pass 0 to read_header.
        (read_header): New arg RAW_EXTENDED_HEADERS.  Store away extended
        headers into new vars.  Null-terminate incoming symbolic links.

        * src/rmt.c: Include print-copyr.h, not copysym.h.

        (main): Use XARGMATCH, not argmatch.

2001-09-20  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

        * lib/xstrtol.c (strtoimax): Guard declaration with
        `#if !HAVE_DECL_STRTOIMAX', rather than just `#ifndef strtoimax'.
        The latter fails because some systems (at least rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.3.0)

        --wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
        Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these control how exclude
        patterns are interpreted.  The default interpretation of exclude
        patterns is now --no-anchored --no-ignore-case --recursion
        --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.

        directories.
        Fix mode computation in the case where the directory exists.

        link, make a copy of the symbolic link.

        * src/incremen.c (get_directory_contents):
        If ignore_failed_read_option, only warn about
        stat failures.

        * src/list.c (from_header): Do not issue a diagnostic if TYPE is zero.
        However, check for error even for '-' or '+' case.

        (print_header): Try parsing uids and gids as unsigned integers first,
        and as a uid_t or gid_t only if that fails.  This adds support for

        declares it.

        * src/system.h: Include stddef.h if available.

        --wildcards-match-slash.

        (decode_options): Implement the new way of interpreting exclude
        patterns.

        (usage): --newer-mtime takes a DATE operand.  DATE may be a file name.

        just print error messages suggesting alternatives.

        (add_filtered_exclude): Remove.

        * tests/extrac04.sh (out): Remove

        size_t is narrower than long.

        (write_record, delete_archive_members): Use acting_as_filter
        rather than archive == STDIN_FILENO to detect whether we're acting

        ignore_zeros_option is nonzero.  Fix bug that messed up last
        output block: write_eot can't be used here, as it gets confused
        when the input is at end of file.

        * src/compare.c (diff_archive): Do not impose an arbitrary limit on
        symbolic link contents length.  Pass directory size to
        get_directory_contents.

        * m4/decl.m4, m4/error.m4, m4/mbstate_t.m4, m4/prereq.m4,
        m4/strerror_r.m4: New files.
        * m4/signedchar.m4: Remove this file.
        * Makefile.am (ACINCLUDE_INPUTS): Adjust to above changes.
        * m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Likewise.

        * Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): Add intl/libintl.h.

        * po/da.po: New translation file.

        * src/mangle.c (extract_mangle):
        Fix diagnostic with wrong number of %s'es.

        * lib/fnmatch.c (fnmatch):
        Fix some FNM_FILE_NAME and FNM_LEADING_DIR bugs,
        e.g. fnmatch("d*/*1", "d/s/1", FNM_FILE_NAME) incorrectly yielded zero.

        * lib/full-write.c (full_write): Some buggy drivers return 0 when you
        fall off a device's end.  Detect this.

        * src/system.h (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN): Renamed from CTYPE_DOMAIN.  All
        uses changed.
        (open): Remove macro; we no longer support EMUL_OPEN3.  Do not
        include <pathmax.h> and directory include files like <dirent.h>;
        no longer used.  Include <savedir.h> instead.
        (closedir, signed_char): remove macro; no longer used.
        (bool, false, true): Include <stdbool.h> if you have the include
        file, otherwise define.

        * src/misc.c:
        (is_dot_or_dotdot, closedir_error, closedir_warn, opendir_error,
        opendir_warn, readdir_error): Remove; no longer needed.
        (safer_rmdir): Strip leading ./ (or .// or ./// or ././ or etc.)
        before deciding whether we're trying to remove ".".
        (remove_any_file): Try unlink first if we are not root.  Use
        savedir when recursively removing directories, to avoid exhausting
        file descriptors.
        (savedir_error, savedir_warn, symlink_error): New functions.

        * src/list.c: (read_and): Do not invoke
        apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat; DO_SOMETHING is now
        responsible for that.  Do not invoke apply_delayed_set_stat; our
        caller is now responsible for that.
        (read_header): Use signed char instead of signed_char.  Prevent
        later references to current_header from mistakenly treating it as
        an old GNU header.
        (from_header): Quote invalid base-64 strings in diagnostics.
        (time_from_header): Do not warn about future timestamps in
        archive; check_time now does that.
        (print_header): Quote unknown file types.
        (skip_member): New function, replacing skip_extended_headers and
        now skipping the whole member instead of just the extended
        headers.  All callers changed.  This makes the code handle
        extended headers uniformly, and fixes some bugs.

        * src/update.c (update_archive): Use skip_member.

        * src/extract.c (we_are_root): Now global.
        (struct delayed_symlink): New type.
        (delayed_symlink_head): New var.
        (extr_init, fatal_exit): Invoke extract_finish on fatal errors,
        not apply_delayed_set_stat.
        (set_mode, set_stat): Pointer args are now const pointers.
        (check_time): New function.
        (set_stat): Warn if setting a file's timestamp to be the future.
        (make_directories): Do not save and restore errno.
        (maybe_recoverable): Set errno to ENOENT if we cannot make missing
        intermediate directories.
        (extract_archive): Invoke apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat here,
        not in caller.  Extract potentially dangerous symbolic links more
        carefully, deferring their creation until the end, and using a
        regular file placeholder in the meantime.  Do not remove trailing
        / and /. from file names.  Do not bother checking for ".." when
        checking whether a directory loops back on itself, as loopbacks
        can occur with symlinks too.  Also, in that case, do not bother
        saving and restoring errno; just set it to EEXIST.
        (apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat): A prefix is a potential
        ancestor if it ends in slash too (as well as ending in a char just
        before slash).
        (apply_delayed_set_stat): Remove.
        (apply_delayed_symlinks, extract_finish): New functions.

        * doc/fdl.texi: New file.
        * doc/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add fdl.texi.
        ($(srcdir)/tar.info): Add fdl.texi.  Invoke makeinfo with --no-split.
        * doc/tar.texi: Add Free Documentation License.  New section
        "Overwrite Old Files", and revamp that section to make it easier to
        follow.  "tar" -> "GNU tar" where appropriate.  Migrate getdate
        documentation into getdate.texi.  Fix several minor typos.  Describe
        TAR_OPTIONS.  Describe incompatibility between incremental backups and
        --atime-preserve.  Describe incompatibility between --verify and other
        options.  Mention that tar normally removes symbolic links rather than
        following them, when extracting a file of the same name.

        * THANKS: Add gpoul.  Change skip's address.

        * po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/human.c.

        * src/common.h (namelist, namelast): Remove decls.
        (we_are_root, extract_finish, skip_member, savedir_error,
        savedir_warn, symlink_error, gnu_list_name): New decls.
        (apply_delayed_set_stat, apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat,
        skip_extended_headers, is_dot_or_dotdot, closedir_error,
        closedir_warn, opendir_error, opendir_warn, readdir_error,
        readdir_warn): Remove decls.
        (get_directory_contents): New off_t arg.
        (addname): Now returns struct name *.

        * src/tar.h, tests/genfile.c: Fix comments.

        * src/create.c: Include hash.h.
        (gnu_list_name): Remove decl.
        (struct link): Remove "next" member.
        (linklist): Remove.
        (start_header): Say "leading `FOO'" rather than "`FOO' prefix" for
        consistency with other diagnostics.
        (deal_with_sparse): Check for I/O error when closing the file.
        (create_archive): Do not allocate an array of size PATH_MAX, as
        PATH_MAX might be (size_t) -1.  Instead, allocate an array with
        the size that's needed.
        (hash_link, compare_links): New functions.
        (dump_file): Do not exhaust open file descriptors when descending
        deeply into a directory, by using savedir rather than
        opendir/readdir.  Do not zero-fill the name buffer unnecessarily.
        Hash the set of links already created, instead of using a linked
        list.  Fix some bugs in outputting sparse files which caused the
        sparse tables to be incorrect.  When a file unexpectedly shrinks,
        output zeros rather than garbage.  Do not allocate an array of
        size PATH_MAX, as PATH_MAX might be (size_t) -1.  Instead,
        allocate an array with the size that's needed.

        * src/incremen.c: Include hash.h.
        (struct directory): Remove "next", "dir_text".  Change "name" to
        be char[1] with struct hack, not const char *.  Add "found".
        (directory_list): Remove.  Replaced by directory_table.
        (directory_table): New var.
        (nfs_string): Renamed from nfs.
        (hash_directory, compare_directories): New functions.
        (note_directory): Now returns struct directory *.  First arg is
        now const pointer.  struct stat arg is now dev_t, ino_t, nfs.
        Remove text arg.  New "found" arg, basically corresponding to the
        old text arg not being null.  All callers changed.
        (note_directory, find_directory): Use hash table rather than
        linked list.
        (get_directory_contents): New arg "device".  Use savedir to do the
        hard work.  Save the nfs-ness of stat_data, since it might change
        under us.  Use note_directory instead of find_directory to save
        some work.  When adding an "A" record, do it with
        add_to_accumulator instead of cheating with strcat.
        (read_directory_file): Use "+" flag before device to indicate
        whether it was NFS.  Fix typo in checking for strtoul error.
        (write_directory_file_entry): New function.
        (write_directory_file): Use it, and use the hash routines to
        traverse the directory table.
        (gnu_restore): Use savedir rather than opendir/readdir.

        * src/tar.c: Include localedir.h, prepargs.h.
        (long_options): Now static.
        (long_options, usage, decode_options): -j is now short for
        --bzip2, and -I is now an alias for -T.
        (decode_options, main): argv is not const pointer now.
        (decode_options): Invoke prepend_default_options to support
        TAR_OPTIONS.  In diagnostic, mention the string that was the
        invalid blocking factor, tape length, group, owner, or record
        size.  --delete is no longer incompatible with -f -, undoing
        2000-01-07 change.
        (main): Invoke extract_finish at end of extraction.

        * src/rmt.c: Include localedir.h.
        (main): Update copyright date to 2000.

        * doc/getdate.texi: New file, taken from fileutils 4.0.27, with the
        following changes: Use @sc where appropriate.  Document the ranges of
        supported times more precisely.  Add Eggert to getdate authors.
        Document old Latin 12m/12pm tradition.  Remove list of alphabetic time
        zone names, as it wasn't correct and people shouldn't be relying on it
        anyway.  Relative items also account for non-DST adjustments.  Fix
        some misspellings.

        * lib/prepargs.c, lib/prepargs.h, tests/extrac04.sh: New file.

        * tests/ignfail.sh: opendir -> savedir in diagnostics.

        * tests/preset.in: Set LANGUAGE to the empty string, for some
        brain damaged host.

2000-10-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/fnmatch.m4: Mention the GNU C library.

2000-10-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/fnmatch.m4: Add a couple more test cases to catch bugs in
        glibc 2.1.95.

2000-10-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/human.c (<limits.h>): Do not include; human.h does it if needed.
        (CHAR_BIT): Remove.

        * lib/human.h (<limits.h>): Include if HAVE_LIMITS_H.
        (CHAR_BIT): Define if not defined.

2000-09-09  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c: From fileutils: rename ISASCII to IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN.

2000-08-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/xmalloc.c: Memory exhausted -> memory exhausted

        * lib/xalloc.h (xalloc_msg_memory_exhausted):
        change to array from char *.

2000-08-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4: Define mbstate_t to be int, not char, for
        compatibility with glibc 2.1.3 strftime.c.

2000-07-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (quotearg_n_options):
        Don't make the initial slot vector a constant,
        since it might get modified.

        * lib/quotearg.c: Add support for more than one preallocated slot.

2000-07-30  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (quotearg_n_options):
        Preallocate a slot 0 buffer, so that the caller
        can always quote one small component of a "memory exhausted" message
        in slot 0.

2000-07-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c:
        Include <wchar.h> even if ! (HAVE_MBRTOWC && 1 < MB_LEN_MAX), so that
        mbstate_t is always defined.

        Do not inspect MB_LEN_MAX, since it's incorrectly defined to be 1 in
        some GCC installations, and this configuration error is likely to be
        common.

2000-07-22  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c:
        When the system forces us to redefine mbstate_t, shadow its mbsinit
        function.  From Bruno Haible.

2000-07-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/xmalloc.c: Simplify exhausted message.

        * lib/quotearg.h: Update copyright date; from Jim Meyering.

2000-07-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.h (enum quoting style):
        New constant clocale_quoting_style.

        * lib/quotearg.c:
        (quoting_style_args, quoting_style_vals, quotearg_buffer_restyled):
        Add support for clocale_quoting_style, undoing previous change to
        locale_quoting_style.

2000-07-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c:
        <wchar.h>: Include only if HAVE_MBRTOWC && 1 < MB_LEN_MAX,
        since otherwise we don't need it.
        (MB_CUR_MAX): Redefine to 1 if ! (HAVE_MBRTOWC && 1 < MB_LEN_MAX),
        since we don't do multibytes in that case.
        (quotearg_buffer_restyled): If a unibyte locale, don't bother to
        invoke multibyte primitives.

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T):
        Renamed from AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.  All uses changed.
        Change from a two-part test, which defines both HAVE_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT
        and mbstate_t, to a single-part test that simply defines mbstate_t.

        * lib/quotearg.c (mbrtowc): Do not use HAVE_WCHAR_H in the definition.
        Use defined mbstate_t, not HAVE_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT,
        to decide whether to define the BeOS workaround macro;
        this adjusts to the change to AC_MBSTATE_T.

        * m4/strerror_r.m4: New file.

2000-07-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c: Use double-quote to quote.

        * lib/quotearg.c (N_): New macro.
        (gettext_default): New function.
        (quotearg_buffer_restyled): Use gettext_default ("{LEFT QUOTATION MARK}",
        "\"") for left quote, and gettext_default ("{RIGHT QUOTATION MARK}", "\"")
        for right quote.

        * lib/quotearg.c (struct quoting_options):
        Simplify quote_these_too dimension.
        From Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>.

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT):
        Test for mbstate_t only if the test
        for an object-type mbstate_t fails.

        * lib/quotearg.c (mbrtowc): Declare returned type, since BeOS doesn't.

2000-07-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4 (AC_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT): Port to autoconf 2.13.
        Add AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stdlib.h), since we use HAVE_STDLIB_H.

        * lib/quotearg.c (mbrtowc):
        Assign to *pwc, and return 1 only if result is nonzero.
        (iswprint): Define to ISPRINT if we are substituting our own mbrtowc.

2000-07-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (mbstate_t):
        Do not define; it should be defined with AC_CHECK_TYPE.

2000-06-26  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4: Include stdio.h before wchar.h, to work around
        a bug in glibc 2.1.3.

        * lib/xmalloc.c: Fix inaccurate comment for xrealloc.

2000-06-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (ISASCII): Add #undef and move definition to follow
        inclusion of wctype.h to work around solaris2.6 namespace pollution.
        (ISPRINT): Likewise.
        Reported by Tom Tromey.

2000-06-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/human.c (adjust_value): New function.
        (human_readable_inexact): Apply rounding style even when printing
        approximate values.

        * lib/human.c: Avoid shadowing warnings.
        From Jim Meyering.

2000-06-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/human.c (human_readable_inexact): Allow an input block size
        that is not a multiple of the output block size, and vice versa.

        * lib/getdate.y (get_date): Apply relative times after time zone
        indicator, not before.

2000-05-31  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4: Rewrite so that we don't need to run getconf,
        and thus don't need AC_CANONICAL_HOST.

        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS, AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SPACE_APPEND): Remove.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): New macro.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Change arguments from
        CODE-TO-SET-DEFAULT to VALUE, INCLUDES, FUNCTION-BODY.  All uses
        changed.  Instead of inspecting the output of getconf, try to
        compile the test program without and with the macro definition.
        (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Do not require AC_CANONICAL_HOST or check for
        getconf.  Instead, check for the needed flags by compiling test
        programs.

        * configure.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST): Remove; the largefile stuff no
        longer needs it.
        * config.guess, config.sub: Remove these files, for similar reasons.

2000-05-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to be
        500, instead of _GNU_SOURCE to be 1, to work around glibc 2.1.3
        bug.  This avoids a clash when files like regex.c that define
        _GNU_SOURCE.

2000-05-02  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE):
        Define _GNU_SOURCE if this is needed to make
        ftello visible (e.g. glibc 2.1.3).  Use compile-time test, rather than
        inspecting host and OS, to decide whether to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE.

        * lib/quotearg.c (mbrtowc, mbstat_t):
        Add definitions if !HAVE_MBSTATE_T_OBJECT.
        (<wctype.h>): Include if HAVE_WCTYPE_H.
        (iswprint): Define to 1 if we lack it

2000-04-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/mbstate_t.m4: New file.

2000-04-17  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

        * tests/ignfail.sh: Test for uid 0 along with user "root".

2000-04-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS):
        Don't use -n32 on IRIX if the installer said
        otherwise.

2000-02-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (ALERT_CHAR): New macro.
        (quotearg_buffer_restyled): Use it.

2000-02-23  Rainer Orth  <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>

        * src/list.c (tartime): Fix off-by-one error when copying year if
        OLD_CTIME.

2000-02-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/getdate.y: Handle two-digit years with leading zeros correctly.
        (textint): New typedef.
        (parser_control): Changed from struct parser_control to typedef
        (for consistency).  Member year changed from int to textint.  All
        uses changed.
        (YYSTYPE): Removed; replaced by %union with int and textint
        members.
        (tID): Removed; not used.
        (tDAY, tDAY_UNIT, tDAYZONE, tHOUR_UNIT, tID, tLOCAL_ZONE,
        tMERIDIAN, tMINUTE_UNIT, tMONTH, tMONTH_UNIT tSEC_UNIT, tSNUMBER,
        tUNUMBER, tYEAR_UNIT, tZONE, o_merid): Now of type <intval>.
        (tSNUMBER, tUNUMBER): Now of type <textintval>.
        (date, number, to_year): Use width of number in digits, not its
        value, to determine whether it's a 2-digit year, or a 2-digit
        time.
        (yylex): Store number of digits of numeric tokens.  Return '?' for
        unknown identifiers, rather than (unused) tID.

2000-01-16  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/quotearg.c (quotearg_buffer_restyled):
        Do not quote alert, backslash, formfeed,
        and vertical tab unnecessarily in shell quoting style.

2000-01-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/c-bs-a.m4:

        (finish_sparse_file): Just abort if there is an internal error.
        (dump_file): Fix typo: stat_warn and stat_error were interchanged.
        Don't restore access times on directories during incremental dumps
        until after dealing with the directory.
        If ignoring failed reads, count closedir, read, and unknown
        file errors as warnings, not errors.
        Fix buffer overrun problem when dumping sparse files.

        * src/list.c (read_and):
        Invoke apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat on file names
        after handling them.
        (decode_mode): Remove; moved to misc.c.

        * src/misc.c (safer_rmdir): New function.

2000-01-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add wchar.h.
        (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add mbrtowc.
        (AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID): Add.

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add delete02.sh.
        (POSTPONED_TESTS): Remove.

        * tests/preset.in:
        Set LC_ALL rather than LANGUAGE, LANG, and LC_MESSAGES.

        * tests/ignfail.sh (err): Adjust to new quoting scheme.

        * tests/delete02.sh: Fix typo: need to list archive2, not archive.

        * tests/extrac03.sh: Use -P option, so that .. doesn't get diagnosed.

        * src/tar.c ("quotearg.h"): New include.
        (usage): Now has __attribute__ ((noreturn)).
        (confirm): Report errno if we can't open tty.
        (confirm, decode_options):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (OVERWRITE_OPTION): New constant.

        * src/update.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (append_file):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        Check for close error.

        * src/names.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (name_init, name_next, name_close, names_notfound,
        collect_and_sort_names): Don't assume that gettext preserves
        errno.  Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (excluded_name): Fix typo that caused empty patterns to be
        mishandled.

        * src/misc.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (quote_copy_string): Quote only newline and backslash; the output is no
        longer meant for humans, and is locale-independent.
        (contains_dot_dot): New function.
        (remove_any_file): Don't use lstat; just rmdir the file and then use
        unlink if the rmdir fails because the file isn't a directory.
        Check for readdir and closedir errors.
        (maybe_backup_file): Report "stat" for stat errors.
        (maybe_backup_file, chdir_do):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.

        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.

        chdir_fatal, close_error, closedir_error, exec_fatal, mkfifo_error,
        mknod_error, open_error, open_fatal, open_warn, opendir_error,
        opendir_warn, read_error, read_fatal, readdir_error, readdir_warn,
        readlink_error, readlink_warn, seek_error, seek_warn, stat_error,
        stat_warn, truncate_error, truncate_warn, unlink_error, waitpid_error,
        write_error, write_fatal, xfork, xpipe, quote_n, quote): New functions.

        * src/system.h (__attribute__): New macro.
        (O_NDELAY, O_NONBLOCK, O_APPEND): Remove.
        (S_ISDOOR): New macro.
        (closedir): New macro, if CLOSEDIR_VOID.

        * src/rmt.c, src/rtapelib.c (decode_oflag):
        O_APPEND might not be defined.

        * src/list.c: (read_and, list_archive):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (from_header): Use locale_quoting_style to quote diagnostics.
        (print_header, print_for_mkdir): Quote with quotearg, not quote_copy_string.

        * src/rmt.h (REM_BIAS): Increase from 128 to (1 << 30).

        * src/Makefile.am: Use ## for copyright comments.

        * src/extract.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (enum permstatus): New enum.
        (struct delayed_set_stat): file_name is now at end of buffer, to avoid
        two mallocs.  New members file_name_len, invert_permissions, permstatus.
        (extr_init): Remove hack that silently adjusted newdir_umask.
        (set_mode, set_stat): New args invert_permissions, permstatus, typeflag.
        Use these args to decide whether and how to set modes.
        (set_mode, set_stat, prepare_to_extract, extract_sparse_file, extract_archive):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.
        (set_stat): Remove arg symlink_flag; subsumed by typeflag.
        (delay_set_stat, repair_delayed_set_stat): New functions.
        (make_directories): Avoid mkdir where last part of path is "..".
        Create a struct delayed_set_stat for each directory made.
        (prepare_to_extract): Renamed from unlink_destination, and
        return 0 immediately if to_stdout_option; all callers changed.
        (maybe_recoverable): New parameter interdir_made.
        Add support for --overwrite.
        (extract_sparse_file, extract_archive):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (extract_archive): By default, warn about ".." in member names, and skip them.
        Don't open files with O_NONBLOCK or O_APPEND.
        Open with O_TRUNC only if --overwrite; otherwise, use O_EXCL to avoid
        overwriting them.  Pass only rwxrwxrwx permissions to `open' and `mkdir',
        minus the current umask.  Keep track of intermediate directories made,
        to avoid looping when making x/../x when x doesn't exist; the
        earlier code solved this in a different way that didn't fit well
        into the new scheme.  Don't extract permissions onto existing
        directories unless --overwrite is given.  Do not add -wx------
        permissions to new directories permanently; just do it temporarily.
        Remove no-longer-needed hack with MSDOS and directory time stamps.
        (apply_delayed_set_stat): New argument specifies which directories to
        fix statuses of.  Do not wait until the end of extraction to fix
        statuses; instead, fix a directory's status once we exit that directory.
        This requires less memory and does the right thing in some cases
        where the old method didn't.
        (fatal_exit): New function.

        * src/incremen.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (get_directory_contents, gnu_restore):
        Check for readdir and closedir errors.
        (get_directory_contents, read_directory_file, gnu_restore):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (get_directory_contents, read_directory_file, write_directory_file):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.

        * src/create.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (start_header): Use `member names' to refer to archive member names, not
        `archive names'.  Warn about `..' in member names.
        (finish_sparse_file, dump_file):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (finish_sparse_file, dump_file):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.
        (dump_file): Don't use `access' to determine whether a directory is readable;
        this isn't reliable if tar is setuid.  Use `opendir' instead.
        Check for readdir and closedir failures.
        Don't dump sockets as if they were fifos; just warn and skip.

        * src/delete.c (move_archive):
        Don't report fatal error merely because sizes don't fit
        into struct mtop values; fall back on lseek instead.
        Say `Cannot' uniformly, instead of `Could not' sometimes and `Cannot' others.
        Say `reposition' instead of `re-position'.
        (delete_archive_members):
        Set archive to STDOUT_FILENO before outputting trailing buffer.

        * src/compare.c (<quotearg.h>): New include.
        (diff_init): Use `Cannot' uniformly, instead of `Could not' sometimes
        and `Cannot' others.
        (report_difference, diff_archive):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.
        (process_rawdata, diff_sparse_files, get_stat_data, diff_archive, seek_warn):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.
        (diff_archive): Don't open regular files with O_NONBLOCK.
        Preserve access times of files if --atime.

        * src/common.h (FATAL_ERROR): Use new fatal_exit function to exit.
        (FATAL_ERROR, USAGE): Don't return 0.
        (enum old files): New enum.
        (old_files_option): New variable, replacing keep_old_files_option and
        unlink_first_option.
        (apply_delayed_set_stat): Now takes char const * param.
        (fatal_exit, contains_dot_dot, chdir_fatal, close_error,
        closedir_error, exec_fatal, mkfifo_error, mknod_error, open_error,
        open_fatal, open_warn, opendir_error, opendir_warn, read_error,
        read_fatal, readdir_error, readdir_warn, readlink_error,
        readlink_warn, seek_error, seek_warn, stat_error, stat_warn,
        truncate_error, truncate_warn, unlink_error, waitpid_error,
        write_error, write_fatal, xfork, xpipe, quote, quote_n): New decls.

        * src/buffer.c:
        (xclose, xdup2, child_open_for_compress, child_open_for_uncompress,
        archive_write_error, archive_read_error, flush_archive, close_archive,
        init_volume_number, new_volume):
        Don't assume that gettext preserves errno.

        (xdup2): Don't report errno if dup returns an unexpected nonnegative value.
        (open_archive): Reject multivolume verify attempts a bit earlier.
        Rename local variable `access', in case it's defined by system header.

        (open_archive, backspace_output): Use `Cannot' uniformly, instead of
        `Could not' sometimes and `Cannot' others.

        (open_archive, flush_read, flush_archive, close_archive, new_volume):
        Quote arbitrary strings in diagnostics.

        (read_error): Set archive to STDOUT_FILENO temporarily when writing
        archive buffer.

        (init_volume_number): Check for input and output errors in volno_file.

        (new_volume): Use new fatal_exit function to exit, and new xfork
        function to fork.

        * Makefile.am (ACINCLUDE_INPUTS): Add $(M4DIR)/c-bs-a.m4.

        * doc/tar.texi: Add --overwrite.
        --absolute-names rejects ".." in names.

        * lib/quotearg.c: Add support for multibyte characters.
        (ISGRAPH): Remove.
        (ISPRINT): New macro.
        (<wchar.h>): Include if HAVE_MBRTOWC && HAVE_WCHAR_H.
        (isprint, mbrtowc, mbsinit, mbstate_t): New macros,
        defined if ! (HAVE_MBRTOWC && HAVE_WCHAR_H).
        (quotearg_buffer_restyled): New function, with most of the old
        quotearg_buffer's contents.
        Major rewrite to support multibyte characters.
        (quotearg_buffer): Now just calls quotearg_buffer_restyled.

        * m4/c-bs-a.m4: New file.

        * lib/Makefile.am: Use ## for copyright notice.

        * scripts/Makefile.am: Use ## on copyright notice.

        * doc/Makefile.am:
        ($(srcdir)/tar.info, tar.dvi): We now use texinfo 4.0.

1999-12-05  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * doc/ChangeLog, lib/ChangeLog, scripts/ChangeLog,
        src/ChangeLog, tests/ChangeLog: Remove these files.
        * ChangeLog.1: New file, incorporating the above files, plus old
        ChangeLog entries.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add ChangeLog.1.

1999-12-05  Dale Worley  <worley@ariadne.com>

        * src/compare.c (<utime.h>, struct utimbuf): Add.
        (diff_archive): Restore access times if --atime.
        * doc/tar.texi: Explain that --atime also preserves modification time.

1999-12-04  Gerhard Poul  <gpoul@gnu.org>

        * ABOUT-NLS: Update to latest version from ftp.gnu.org.
        * BACKLOG, TODO: Remove.
        * Makefile.am (all-local, BABYL, dist-zoo, id, ID): Remove.
        * README: Bring up to date.

1999-12-03  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.13.15.

        * src/compare.c (diff_archive):
        Do not set errno to EPIPE; we no longer use perror.

        * src/create.c (dump_file):
        If a parent directory said that a file should be there but it is
        absent, diagnose it as being removed in the meantime.
        Do not pass meaningless errno to ERROR when reporting that the
        file changed as we read it.
        Report that a file changed if its ctime changes; this is more
        sensitive than mtime+size, and more accurate.

        * src/incremen.c (enum children): New type.
        (struct directory): Change old char allnew member to new enum children
        children member.
        All uses changed.
        (get_directory_contents): When doing an incremental dump that does
        not cross filesystem boundaries, dump the mount points, even though
        they are in a different filesystem.  This is for convenience when
        restoring, and for consistency with non-incremental dumps.
        This requires a 3-way flag for keeping track of which children we want,
        so we use enum children rather than boolean.

        * src/open3.c (modes): Remove.
        (open3): Remove unportable assumptions about flag encodings.
        Use `stat' instead of `access' for testing file existence,
        to avoid problems with setuid programs.

        * src/names.c (name_next): If file names are given both in the
        command line (e.g. via -C) and in a file (via -T), do not
        ignore the command-line names.

        * m4/uintmax_t.m4: Backport to autoconf 2.13.

        * doc/tar.texi: Clarify getdate authorship.

1999-11-23  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * lib/Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): New macro.

        * configure.in (tar_fnmatch_hin):
        Remove; it runs afoul of a bug in autoconf 2.13.
        Instead, always link fnmatch.h to some file, even if it's a throwaway.

1999-11-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4: Update serial.

1999-11-18  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Work around a bug in
        the QNX shell, which doesn't propagate exit status of failed
        commands inside shell assignments.

1999-11-07  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.13.14.

        format.
        (dump_file): Interchange last two arguments. If TOP_LEVEL is negative,
        it means we have an incremental dump where we don't know whether this
        is a top-level call.
        Use deref_stat instead of statx / stat / lstat.
        Cast result of alloca.

        Modernize sample backup script.

        * THANKS: Martin Goik's email address has changed.

        (AC_LFS_SPACE_APPEND, AC_LFS_MACRO_VALUE): New macros.
        (AC_LFS): Use them.  Set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS, _LARGEFILE_SOURCE, and

        to add anything to the command line (it's all in config.h).
        Put any extra -D and -I options into CPPFLAGS, the rest into CFLAGS.

1999-03-01  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * NEWS, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.12.64006.

        * acinclude.m4 (AC_LFS_FLAGS): Port to AIX 4.2.

        * src/list.c: (gid_from_oct, major_from_oct, minor_from_oct,
        mode_from_oct, off_from_oct, size_from_oct, time_from_oct,
        uid_from_oct, uintmax_from_oct): Use TYPE_MAXIMUM instead of macros
        like OFF_MAX, which are not reliable
        (e.g. OFF_MAX in AIX 4.2 is incorrect).
        * src/system.h (GID_MAX, MAJOR_MAX, MINOR_MAX, MODE_MAX, OFF_MAX,
        SIZE_MAX, TIME_MAX,UID_MAX, UINTMAX_MAX):  Remove; no longer used.

        * src/incremen.c (get_directory_contents):
        Don't use statx if _LARGE_FILES; it doesn't work under AIX 4.2.
        Have statx depend on STX_HIDDEN, not AIX.

        * src/create.c (to_oct):
        New parameter substitute, giving a substitute value to use
        when the original value is out of range.  Do not append a space to the
        output; modern tars don't.  When a value is out of range, specify the
        maximum value, not the number of bits.
        (GID_NOBODY, UID_NOBODY): New macros.
        (gid_to_oct, uid_to_oct): Use them as substitutes.
        (finish_header): Do not assume that UINTMAX_TO_OCT appends a space.

        * src/rmt.c (main): Remove suspicious AIX/386 code.

1999-02-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * intl/localealias.c (read_alias_file): Don't assume that memcpy
        returns a type compatible with char *; it doesn't on SunOS
        4.1.4 with Sun cc, since <string.h> doesn't declare memcpy.

        * NEWS, configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Version 1.12.64005.

        * src/tar.c (long_options, usage): Prefer --unbzip2 to --bunzip2.
        * doc/tar.texi: Add --bzip2, --unbzip2 options.

        * configure.in (AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_VALIDATE_CACHED_SYSTEM_TUPLE):
        Add.
        (AC_LINK_FILES): Omit; AM_GNU_GETTEXT now does this.

        Update to latest gettext version (serial 5).
        (AC_LFS_FLAGS): New macro
        (AC_LFS): Use it.  Append to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LDLIBS instead of
        working only with unset variables.  Append to CFLAGS, not CPPFLAGS.
        Work properly in cross-compilation scenario, by checking for getconf
        with AC_CHECK_TOOL and by ditching uname in favor of
        AC_CANONICAL_HOST and $host_os.  Add --disable-lfs option.

        * lib/getdate.y: Update to fileutils 4.0 getdate.y, with one patch:
        replace FORCE_ALLOCA_H with HAVE_ALLOCA_H.
        * lib/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Append ../src/ansi2knr,
        since getdate.y now uses ANSI code.

        * config.guess, config.sub: New files; taken from automake 1.4.

        * intl/Makefile.in, intl/VERSION, intl/bindtextdom.c,
        intl/cat-compat.c, intl/dcgettext.c, intl/dgettext.c,

        * src/system.h (mode_t): Remove; now done by autoconf.
        (ST_NBLOCKS): Do not overflow if st_size is near maximum.
        Return number of ST_NBLOCKSIZE-byte blocks,
        not number of 512-byte blocks;
        this also helps to avoid overflow.
        (st_blocks): Declare if needed.
