From: Sergey Poznyakoff Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 11:03:18 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Honor the pax-option overrides when creating archive. X-Git-Url: https://git.dogcows.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7b6f8e3aecf2699ecd1e18f905e14a2841c5e00;p=chaz%2Ftar Honor the pax-option overrides when creating archive. Changes proposed by Denis Excoffier. * NEWS: Fix typos. * doc/tar.texi: Fix typos. Improve recipe for creation of binary equivalent archives. * src/create.c (write_extended): Use the value of the --mtime option (if specified) as the default for exthdr.mtime. * src/xheader.c (xheader_store): Create the header if at least one override is supplied in --pax-option. --- diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 32bc881..c3385f8 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -GNU tar NEWS - User visible changes. 2014-07-27 +GNU tar NEWS - User visible changes. 2014-11-07 Please send GNU tar bug reports to @@ -369,7 +369,7 @@ Modification times in ustar header blocks of extended headers are set to mtimes of the corresponding archive members.
