 Suggestions for improving GNU tar.

-* Add support for GNU private keywords in POSIX 1003.1-2001 headers,
-so that the GNU extensions (--sparse, --incremental, --label and
---multi-volume) may be used with POSIX archives.
+* Add support for restoring file time stamps to sub-second resolution,
+  if the file system supports this.

 
 

-* Add support for a 'pax' command that conforms to POSIX 1003.1-2001.
-  This would unify paxutils with tar.
+* Add support for restoring the attributes of symbolic links, for
+  OSes like FreeBSD that have the lutimes and lchmod functions.

 
 

-* Remove command-line incompatibilities between GNU tar and UNIX tar
-  as specified by UNIX98.  The main problem is:
+* --append should bail out if the two archives are of different types.

 
 

-     l   GNU tar doesn't cross filesystem boundaries.
-        UNIX98 tar warns if all links cannot be resolved.
-          (GNU tar --check-links option)
-
-  Perhaps we could announce a phase-in period where "l" changes in semantics.
-  In the meanwhile we could make the "l" semantics to be determined by the
-  value of POSIXLY_CORRECT variable.

+  Subject: TAR suggestion...
+  Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 18:26:36 -0500 (EST)

 
 

-  some archives have members like
-  foo/bar
-  foo/baz
-  foo/bam
-  
-  When I now want to extract the three members bar, baz and bam to the
-  directory fom instead foo, I need to extract to foo and then to move
-  the files over manually.
+  What I would like to do is:

 
 

-  patch(1) solves that problem by offering an option taking the number
-  of path elements to cut away before using the path name. With an
-  option like that, the above problem could be solved with
+  foo my.tar.gz | tar -xzOf - | tar -cMf - -L 650000 - | bar

 
 

-  tar --extract --cut-path-elements 1 --directory fom
+  where 'foo' is a program that retrieves the archive and streams it
+  to stdout and bar is a program that streams the stdin to CDR.
