the number of bytes read is actually not important as long as we have at
least what we ask for. Illustrate its benefits by using it throughout
the ZIP support code, except for the few cases where it doesn't apply.

that I've been working on but put off committing until after the
RELENG_7 branch, including:
* New manpages: cpio.5 mtree.5
* New archive_entry_strmode()
* New archive_entry_link_resolver()
* New read support: mtree format
* Internal API change: read format auction only runs once
* Running the auction only once allowed simplifying a lot of bid logic.
* Cpio robustness: search for next header after a sync error
* Support device nodes on ISO9660 images
* Eliminate a lot of unnecessary copies for uncompressed archives
* Corrected handling of new GNU --sparse --posix formats
* Correctly handle a zero-byte write to a compressed archive
* Fixed memory leaks
Many of these improvements were motivated by the upcoming bsdcpio
front-end.
There have also been extensive improvements to the libarchive_test
test harness, which I'll commit separately.
a length field of zero; it does not mean the body is empty.
Thanks to: Lapo Luchini for sending me a JAR archive that demonstrated this bug

Return EOF immediately if an entry in a ZIP archive has no body.
In particular, the latter issue was causing bsdtar to emit spurious
warnings when extracting directory entries from ZIP archives.

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: Joerg Sonnenberger (compression_program)
Thanks to: Kai Wang (ar)
Thanks to: Colin Percival (many small fixes)
Thanks to: Many others who sent me various patches and problem reports.
* libarchive_test program exercises many of the core features
* Refactored old "read_extract" into new "archive_write_disk", which
uses archive_write methods to put entries onto disk. In particular,
you can now use archive_write_disk to create objects on disk
without having an archive available.
* Pushed some security checks from bsdtar down into libarchive, where
they can be better optimized.
* Rearchitected the logic for creating objects on disk to reduce
the number of system calls. Several common cases now use a
minimum number of system calls.
* Virtualized some internal interfaces to provide a clearer separation
of read and write handling and make it simpler to override key
methods.
* New "empty" format reader.
* Corrected return types (this ABI breakage required the "2.0" version bump)
* Many bug fixes.
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. ;-)
* Handles entries with compressed size >2GB (signed/unsigned cleanup)
* Handles entries with compressed size >4GB ("ZIP64" extension)
* Handles Unix extensions (ctime, atime, mtime, mode, uid, etc)
* Format-specific "skip data" override allows ZIP reader to skip
entries without decompressing them, which makes "tar -t"
a lot faster.
* Handles "length-at-end" entries generated by, e.g., "zip -r - foo"
Many thanks to: Dan Nelson, who contributed the code and test files for
the first three items above and suggested the fourth.
When reading the bodies of Zip archive entries, request a minimum of 1
byte, rather than a minimum of the full entry size. This is faster
(since it does not force the decompression layer to combine reads) and
works around a bug in the "none" decompression handler (which I'm
testing a separate fix for now). I've also renamed "bytes_read" to
"bytes_avail" in several places to more accurately reflect that the
value returned from (a->compression_read_ahead) is the number of bytes
available, not necessarily the number of bytes requested.
Only supports "deflate" and "none" compression for now.
Also, add a few clarifications to the archive_read.3 manpage as
requested by William Dean DeVries.
