1. The correct cutoff for large uid/gid handling is 1<<18, not 1<<20.
2. Limit the uid/gid in the 'x' extension header (where numeric extensions
are not permitted) to 1<<18, but use the correct value in the regular
header (where numeric extensions are permitted).

denote a directory. Unfortunately, in the presence of GNU or POSIX
extensions, this code was checking the truncated filename stored in the
regular header rather than the full filename stored in the extended
attribute. As a result, long filenames with '/' in just the right
position would trigger this check and be erroneously marked as
directories. Move the check so it only considers the full filename.
Note: the check can't simply be disabled for archives that contain
these extensions because there are some very broken archivers out
there.

better in a couple of situations. While I'm here, clean up some comments
and try to improve the organization a bit.

This closes a security hole. Otherwise, libarchive will happily
extract into directories to which it lacks write permissions by
resetting the permissions during the extract.

and close it) and "finish" (destroy the object) functions. For backwards
compat and simplicity, have "finish" invoke "close" transparently if needed.
This allows clients to close the archive and check end-of-operation
statistics before destroying the object.
is present for FreeBSD. If you "make distfile" on FreeBSD, you will
soon have a tar.gz file suitable for deploying to other systems
(complete with the expected "configure" script, etc). This latter
relies (at least for now) on the GNU auto??? tools. (I like autoconf
okay, but someday I hope to write a custom Makefile.in and dispense
with automake, which is somewhat odious.)
As part of this, I've cleaned up some of the conditional
compilation options, added make-foo to construct archive.h dynamically
(it now contains some version constants), and added some useful
informational files.

code on the existence of the relevant libraries (actually,
the existence of the include files).
This will allow the library to be easily ported to systems
that don't have these libraries. (Of course, it also means
that clients using the library on such systems will not be
able to take advantage of the automatic compression format
detection.)
in the regular ustar header that are overridden by the pax
extended attributes. As a result, it makes perfect sense to
use numeric extensions in the regular ustar header so that readers
that don't understand pax extensions but do understand some other
extensions can still get useful information out of it.
This is especially important for filesizes, as the failure to
read a file size correctly can get the reader out of sync.
This commit introduces a "non-strict" option into the internal
function to format a ustar header. In non-strict mode, the formatter
will use longer octal values (overwriting terminators) or binary
("base-256") values as needed to ensure that large file sizes,
negative mtimes, etc, have the correct values stored in the regular
ustar header.
archive_version: Returns a text string, e.g., "libarchive 1.00.000"
archive_api_version: Returns the SHLIB major version
archive_api_feature: Returns a feature number useful for answering
questions such as "Is this recent enough to do XXX?"
The last two also have macros defined in archive.h, so you can compare
the compile-time and run-time environments. (In particular, you can
compare ARCHIVE_API_VERSION to archive_api_version() to detect library
version mismatches.)
With these in hand, it will soon be time to turn on the
shared-library version of libarchive... stay tuned.
Thanks to: David O'Brien for pointing this out.
Also, add in a few additional portability tweaks and make a few
more things conditional on features (HAVE_XXXX macros) rather
than platform.
In particular, this means we can now correctly read gtar archives that
contain timestamps prior to the start of the Epoch.
Also, make the code in this area more portable. ANSI C99 headers are
not yet ubiquitous (for example, FreeBSD 4 still lacks them), so be
prepared for systems that don't have the INT64_MAX, INT64_MIN, and
UINT64_MAX macros. This version still requires int64_t and uint64_t be
defined (which can be done in archive_platform.h if necessary), but
doesn't require them to be exactly 64 bits.
