Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

Revision 3740:
Use archive_clear_error() to clear the error markers.

uname and gname weren't overwritten, so the
disk restore would use those to lookup the
original uid/gid again. Clearing the uname
and gname prevents this.

Adjust dependencies for programs using libarchive
Add xz and linkage against liblzma to rescue system

Note that this is actually a no-op for most users, as this GNU
cpio was broken on -HEAD and 8-STABLE since last March until
the recent fix.
FreeBSD 8.0+ uses BSD cpio by default and the code is being
actively maintained.

Also, change the existing -vi behavior to send the filenames to
stderr rather than stdout, as GNU cpio does.

were pointed out by Brooks Davis and Alexey Dokuchaev:
* It now tries to lookup arguments as names first, then tries
to parse them as numbers. In particular, this makes the
behavior consistent with POSIX conventions when usernames
consist entirely of digits.
* It now uses strtoul() for the numeric parsing.
Finally, I've included an update to the test harness
to exercise the new numeric cases for -R.

user or group Ids as well as user or group names.
In particular, this fixes freesbie2, which uses
-R 0:0 to copy a bunch of files so that the result
will be owned by root.
Also fixes a related bug that mixed-up the uid
and gid specified by -R when in passthrough mode.
Thanks to Dominique Goncalves for reporting this
regression.

more selective about what libarchive features we pull in:
* No compression support
* Only cpio and ustar writing
* Only cpio and tar/pax readers
This reduces a statically linked, stripped binary from 900k to 680k
and completely eliminates the dependency on libcrypto.
* Lots of new tests.
* New -n / --numeric-uid-gid option
* More sanity-checking of arguments
* Various Windows portability improvements
* Sync up version number to 2.7.0
* Lookup uname/gname if not provided by the archive (I copied the
uname/gname lookup cache from bsdtar)
* Format device number instead of size for device nodes
* Format date.
There's still a few improvements that I could copy from
bsdtar, especially the locale-aware safe_fprintf() code
and the locale-aware setup for day_first date formatting.
(And, of course, I need to think through a clean way to
push this stuff down into libarchive.)
Thanks to Peter Wemm for reminding me of this overlooked TODO item.
file with different permissions and set a non-zero umask
during the actual copy tests. The extra entry increases
the size of the test archives of course, so adjust the
expected sizes.
copying "dir/file" and then copying "dir" results in
"File on disk is not older; skipping" for the "dir" because
it was implicitly created by "dir/file." Among other sins,
this means that "dir" ends up with the wrong permissions
and ownership.
This is actually a libarchive bug; fix is forthcoming.
The number of blocks read from ustar archives is just an implementation
difference. The failure of bsdcpio to emit a block count to stderr
in -p mode is a real bug in bsdcpio.
following the archive structure. In particular, it no longer
crashes if you run it against GNU cpio 2.9 (although it does
still complain a lot more than it should).
understand which code paths aren't possible.
This commit eliminates 117 false positive bug reports of the form
"allocate memory; error out if pointer is NULL; use pointer".
In particular, this fixes the oddity that -dumpl would apply
umask to copied dirs (which are created in the target tree)
but not to "copied" files (which are only linked). After
this change:
$ ls -ld a a/b a/b/c

link, just ignore the -l option and copy the file instead.
In particular, this should fix the COPYTREE_* macros used in the
ports infrastructure which use -l to preserve space but often get
used for cross-device copies.
