corrections to the Windows support to reconcile differences
between Visual Studio and Cygwin. Includes parts of
revisions 757, 774, 787, 815, 817, 819, 820, 844, and 886.
Of particular note, r886 overhauled the UTF-8/Unicode conversions to
work correctly regardless of whether the local system uses 16-bit
or 32-bit wchar_t. (I assume that systems with 16-bit wchar_t
use UTF-16 and those with 32-bit wchar_t use UCS-4.) This revision
also added a preference for wcrtomb() (which is thread-safe) on
platforms that support it.
r751: Change __archive_strncat() to use a void * source, which reduces
the amount of casting needed to use this with "char", "signed char"
and "unsigned char".
r752: Use additions instead of multiplications when growing buffer;
faster and less chance of overflow.
feedback, but the 2.5 branch is shaping up nicely.)
In addition to many small bug fixes and code improvements:
* Another iteration of versioning; I think I've got it right now.
* Portability: A lot of progress on Windows support (though I'm
not committing all of the Windows support files to FreeBSD CVS)
* Explicit tracking of MBS, WCS, and UTF-8 versions of strings
in archive_entry; the archive_entry routines now correctly return
NULL only when something is unset, setting NULL properly clears
string values. Most charset conversions have been pushed down to
archive_string.
* Better handling of charset conversion failure when writing or
reading UTF-8 headers in pax archives
* archive_entry_linkify() provides multiple strategies for
hardlink matching to suit different format expectations
* More accurate bzip2 format detection
* Joerg Sonnenberger's extensive improvements to mtree support
* Rough support for self-extracting ZIP archives. Not an ideal
approach, but it works for the archives I've tried.
* New "sparsify" option in archive_write_disk converts blocks of nulls
into seeks.
* Better default behavior for the test harness; it now reports
all failures by default instead of coredumping at the first one.
couldn't allocate more memory for a string. Change
this so it returns NULL in that case, and update
all of its callers to handle the error. Some of
those callers can now return errors back to the
client instead of calling exit(3).

* "compression_program" support uses an external program
* Portability: no longer uses "struct stat" as a primary
data interchange structure internally
* Part of the above: refactor archive_entry to separate
out copy_stat() and stat() functions
* More complete tests for archive_entry
* Finish archive_entry_clone()
* Isolate major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry; remove
these from everywhere else.
* Bug fix: properly handle decompression look-ahead at end-of-data
* Bug fixes to 'ar' support
* Fix memory leak in ZIP reader
* Portability: better timegm() emulation in iso9660 reader
* New write_disk flags to suppress auto dir creation and not
overwrite newer files (for future cpio front-end)
* Simplify trailing-'/' fixup when writing tar and pax
* Test enhancements: fix various compiler warnings, improve
portability, add lots of new tests.
* Documentation: document new functions, first draft of
libarchive_internals.3

Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes)
Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
a vanilla 2-clause BSD license, but somehow some confusing
extra verbage get copied from somewhere.
Also, update the copyright dates to 2007 for all of the files.
Prompted by: several questions about what those extra words really mean
* Actually use the HAVE_<header>_H macros to conditionally include
system headers. They've been defined for a long time, but only
used in a few places. Now they're used pretty consistently
throughout.
* Fill in a lot of missing casts for conversions from void*.
Although Standard C doesn't require this, some people have been
trying to use C++ compilers with this code, and they do require it.
Bit-for-bit, the compiled object files are identical, except for
one assert() whose line number changed, so I'm pretty confident I
didn't break anything. ;-)
simple errx() function.
Improve behavior when bzlib/zlib are missing by detecting and
issuing an error message on attempts to read gzip/bzip2 compressed
archives.
try to set ACLs even if fflag restore fails, first cut at reading
Solaris tar ACLs
Code improvement: merge gnu tar read support into main tar reader;
this eliminates a lot of duplicate code and generalizes the tar
reader to handle formats with GNU-like extensions.
Style: Makefile cleanup, eliminate 'dmalloc' references, remove 'tartype'
from archive_entry (this makes archive_entry more format-agnostic)
Thanks to: David Magda for providing Solaris tar test files
* Disabled shared-library building, as some API breakage is
still likely. (I didn't realize it was turned on by default.) If
you have an existing /usr/lib/libarchive.so.2, I recommend deleting it.
* Pax interchange format now correctly stores and reads UTF8
for extended attributes. In particular, pax format can portably
handle arbitrarily long pathnames containing arbitrary characters.
* Library compiles cleanly at -O2, -O3, and WARNS=6 on all
FreeBSD-CURRENT platforms.
* Minor portability improvements inspired by Juergen Lock
and Greg Lewis. (Less reliance on stdint.h, isolating of
various portability-challenged constructs.)
* archive_entry transparently converts multi-byte <-> wide character
strings, allowing clients and format handlers to deal with either
one, as appropriate.
* Support for reading 'L' and 'K' entries in standard tar archives
for star compatibility.
* Recognize (but don't yet handle) ACL entries from Solaris tar.
* Pushed format-specific data for format readers down into
format-specific storage and out of library-global storage. This
should make it easier to maintain individual formats without mucking
with the core library management.
* Documentation updates to track the above changes.
* Updates to tar.5 to correct a few mistakes and add some additional
information about GNU tar and Solaris tar formats.
Notes:
* The basic 'tar' reader is getting more general; there's not much
point in keeping the 'gnutar' reader separate. Merging the two
would lose a bunch of duplicate code.
* The libc ACL support is looking increasingly inadequate for my needs
here. I might need to assemble some fairly significant code for
parsing and building ACLs. <sigh>
Portability: Thanks to Juergen Lock, libarchive now compiles cleanly
on Linux. Along the way, I cleaned up a lot of error return codes and
reorganized some code to simplify conditional compilation of certain
sections.
Bug fixes:
* pax format now actually stores filenames that are 101-154
characters long.
* pax format now allows newline characters in extended attributes
(this fixes a long-standing bug in ACL handling)
* mtime/atime are now restored for directories
* directory list is now sorted prior to fix-up to permit
correct restore of non-writable dir heirarchies
What it is:
A library for reading and writing various streaming archive
formats, especially tar and cpio. Being a library, it should
be easy to incorporate into pkg_* tools, sysinstall, and any
other place that needs to read or write such archives.
Features:
* Full automatic detection of both compression and archive format.
* Extensible internal architecture to make it easy to add new formats.
* Support for "pax interchange format," a new POSIX-standard tar format
that eliminates essentially all of the restrictions of historic formats.
* BSD license
Thanks to: jkh for pushing me to start this work, gordon for
encouraging me to commit it, bde for answering endless style
questions, and many others for feedback and encouragement.
Status: Pretty good overall, though there are still a few rough edges and
the library could always use more testing. Feedback eagerly solicited.
