183392ce20 Create missing directories when extracting hardlinks and symlinks. 2004-04-30 01:31:20 +00:00

9e62b060b7 Implement ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNLINK for regular files. This supports the
-U flag to bsdtar.  Essentially, this option breaks existing hard
links.  According to SUSv2, tar is supposed to overwrite existing
files on extract by default which, in particular, preserves
existing hard links.  Note that this is yet another bug in gtar; it
appears to always break existing links.  (Maybe gtar's -U is broken?)

I'm unsure about how to handle this for other file types; the current
code always unlinks first unless the NO_OVERWRITE flag is specified.
I've commented this issue liberally and will come back to it later.

61fac2242c Update file flag handling.
The new fflags support in archive_entry supports Linux and FreeBSD
file flags and is a bit more gracious about unrecognized flag names
than strtofflags(3).  This involves some minor API breakage.

The default tar format ("restricted pax") now enables pax extensions
when archiving files that have flags.  In particular, copying dir
heirarchies with 'bsdtar cf - -C src . | bsdtar xpf - -C dest' now
preserves file flags.  (Note the "p" on extract!)

While I'm here, fill in some additional explanation in the
archive_entry.3 manpage, fill in some missing MLINKS, mark some
overlooked internal functions 'static', and make a few minor style
fixes.

9214908dca Correct spelling of == so that file flags are correctly restored.

0f7d2bd380 More portability improvements, thanks to Juergen Lock.
High-resolution mtime/ctime/atime is not POSIX-standard, so hide
set/get of high-resolution time fields behind easily-mutable macros.
That makes it easier to change how those fields are accessed.

aee47dd7c8 More work on ACLs: fix error in archive_entry's ACL parsing code,
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

08766bdf18 Fix some issues with ACL handling:
* ACL storage is no longer erased before a group of entries are added.
  * ACL text creation no longer tries to skip over non-existent text.
  * UTF8 encoder no longer blows up on invalid wide characters.
  * Fixed ACL state management for default ACLs.
Also, publicize function for obtaining text-format ACL in various
formats.  The interface is now extensible through a "flags" argument
that allows you to select a variant format.

71b44796d9 Overhauled ACL support. This makes us compatible
with 'star' ACL handling, though there's still a
bit more work needed in this area.

Added 'write_open_fd' and 'read_open_fd' to simplify, e.g.,
tar's u and r modes.  Eliminated old 'write_open_file_position'
as a bad idea.  (It required closing/reopening files to
do updates, which led to unpleasant implications.)

Various other minor fixes, API tweaks, etc.

df3c1316b0 Many fixes.
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

c56e5beb9c sys/types.h must be included before sys/acl.h,
as clearly documented in the acl manpage.

Thanks to bde for catching this blunder.

2710e4d1ef Initial import of libarchive.
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.
