field when computing the length of the gzip header.
Thanks to Dag-Erling for pointing me to the OpenSSH tarballs,
which are the first files I've seen that actually used this field.
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,
which should be relatively straightforward to support.
Thanks to: Edward Napierala, who sent me a big-endian cpio archive
from a Solaris system he's been playing with.
Pointy hat: me
Make test_fuzz a bit more sensitive by actually reading the body
of each entry instead of skipping it.
While I'm here, move the "UnsupportedCompress" macro into the
only file that still uses it.
* Fix parsing of POSIX.1e ACLs from Solaris tar archives
* Test the above
* Preserve the order of POSIX.1e ACL entries
* Update tests whose results depended on the order of ACL entries
* Identify NFSv4 ACLs in Solaris tar archives and warn that
they're not yet supported. (In particular, don't try to parse
them as POSIX.1e ACLs.)
Thanks to: Edward Napierala sent me some Solaris 10 tar archives to test
* Split whiny skip function to create a new best-effort skip_lenient()
* Correctly increment the top-level file position only for the top filter
* Simulate skip by reading against the current filter, not the top filter
The latter two bugs aren't currently visible because no existing
filter delegates skip operations.
access to the file data (if the file exists on
disk). This was broken for the first regular
file; fix it and add a test so it won't break again.
In particular, this fixes the following idiom for creating
a tar archive in which every file is owned by root:
tar cf - --format=mtree . \
| sed -e 's/uname=[a-z]*/uname=root/' -e 's/uid=[0-9]*/uid=0/' \
| tar cf - @-

clarification of the Solaris tar ACL storage,
and a few comments about Mac OS X tar's resource storage.
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.
fixes to read_support_compression_program. In particular, failure of
the external program is detected a lot earlier, which gives much more
reasonable error handling.
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.
