* Support for zisofs compressed entries
* Support for relocated deep directories
* Direct calculation of link counts for accurate nlink values
even on images that lack Rockridge extensions
* Faster handling of the internal file lists.
* Better detection of ISO variants
1<<30 bytes of memory, which is required for some streams.
Also, try to make the taster more discriminating about raw lzma streams.
The detection here is still really weak, though; please use xz instead
of lzma.
* Write xattrs last instead of first (required on platforms that use
system xattrs for security attributes)
* Better handling of chdir() failures
* Don't bother trying to shorten files via seek()/write()
* Fix build on systems that lack link()/symlink()/mknod()
* Prefer futimens()/utimensat() when they're present
* Enforce option interface can only be used before the archive is opened
* Correctly handle large skips on platforms with 32-bit off_t
* Use int64_t instead of off_t
1) Avoid an infinite loop in the header resync for certain malformed
archives.
2) Don't try to match hardlinks if the nlinks count is < 2. This
reduces the likelihood of a false hardlink match due to ino truncation.
MFC after: 7 days
(incorrect handling of zero-length reads before the copy buffer is
allocated) is masked by the iso9660 taster. Tar and cpio both enable
that taster so were protected from the bug; unzip is susceptible.
This both fixes the bug and updates the test harness to exercise
this case.

erase the resulting file while trying to restore the
link. This one-line fix corrects the hardlink descriptions
to avoid this problem.

to eliminate some duplicated code. In particular,
archive_read_open_filename() has different close
handling than archive_read_open_fd(), so delegating
the former to the latter in the degenerate case
(a NULL filename is treated as stdin) broke reading
from pipelines. In particular, this fixes occasional
port failures that were seen when using "gunzip | tar"
pipelines under /bin/csh.
Thanks to Alexey Shuvaev for reporting this failure and
patiently helping me to track down the cause.
Unfortunately, liblzma itself is GPLed, so unlikely to become part of
the FreeBSD base system.
However, the core lzma compression/decompression code is public
domain, so it should be feasible for someone to create a compatible
library without the GPL strings.
read_support_format_raw() allows people to exploit libarchive's
automatic decompression support by simply stubbing out the
archive format handler.
The raw handler is not enabled by support_format_all(), of course.
It bids 1 on any non-empty input and always returns a single
entry named "data" with no properties set.
Fix reading big-endian binary cpio archives, and add a test.
While I'm here, add a note about Solaris ACL extension for cpio,

Thanks to: Edward Napierala, who sent me a big-endian cpio archive
from a Solaris system he's been playing with.

In particular, this fixes the following idiom for creating

Not an issue for FreeBSD, since the base system has the necessary libraries.
Since all decompressors are always available now, we can unconditionally
enable them in archive_read_support_compression_all().
Since FreeBSD doesn't have liblzma in the base system, the
read side will always fall back to the unxz/unlzma commands for now.
(Which will in turn fail if those commands are not currently
installed.) The write side does not yet have a fallback, so
that will just fail.
