+
+ * NEWS: New option --atime-preserve=system, which uses O_NOATIME.
+
+ * 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.

+
+ 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.

+ * THANKS: Convert back to UTF-8, sort (using LC_ALL=C on Debian
+ stable), and consistently use tabs rather than spaces.

* src/xheader.c: Remove parts of code prematurely introduced
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
low level function.
Correct buffer size calculation (allocated too much space).
(xheader_write): Increase global_header_count here ...
(xheader_write_global): ... instead of here

+
* tests/testsuite.at (AT_TAR_CHECK): Define TEST_TAR_FORMAT
* tests/multiv01.at: Update

* tests/multiv03.at: Update
* tests/sparsemvp.at: Update
* tests/star/multi-fail.at: Update

of traditional archives.
* doc/tar.texi (Tarcat): New node

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.

(splitting a sparse file between the volume) require additional
testing. Wait for the next commit.

(volume_label,continued_file_name,continued_file_size)
(continued_file_offset): New globals.
(save_name,save_totsize,save_sizeleft): Make static
(mv_begin,mv_end,mv_total_size,mv_size_left): New functions
(open_archive,flush_write,flush_read): Rewritten
-

* src/common.h (save_name,save_sizeleft,save_totsize): Remove
globals.
(volume_label,continued_file_name,continued_file_size): New
of related tests in groups.

+
+ * src/xheader.c (struct xhdr_tab.coder): Last arg is void const *,
+ not void *, to avoid create.c warning from GCC "passing argument 3
+ of 'xheader_store' discards qualifiers from pointer target type".
+ (dummy_coder, atime_coder, gid_coder, gname_coder, linkpath_coder):

+ * NEWS: Minor language and white space fixes.
+
+ * tests/truncate.at: Create files whose time stamps must fall on
+ 1-second boundaries. This prevents tests from failing on hosts
+ like Solaris 8 that have nanosecond-resolution file time stamps.
+ * tests/update.at: Likewise.
+
* src/xheader.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls; now done
in system.h.
