* It is not extracted (because it is excluded)
* If it's not present in the archive, then an error is
reported (because the file was requested and not found)
* If it is present in the archive, no error is reported.
Previously, this would always report an error because the
exclusion prevented the entry from matching the inclusion.
Also, tar is now more reluctant to report unmatched inclusions.
Previously, "tar x file1 'file*'" against an archive that contained a
single entry "file1" would match file1 and then report an error for
the second pattern because it wasn't matched. It now considers both
inclusions to be matched and reports no error.
isolate common code used by tar and cpio (and useful to other
libarchive clients). The functions here are prefixed with
"lafe" (libarchive front-end) to indicate their use.
archive_read_disk API to pull metadata off of disk. This
removes a lot of platform-specific knowledge of things like
ACLs, file flags, and extended attributes from bsdtar.
In addition to a number of bug fixes and minor changes:
* --numeric-owner (ignore user/group names on create and extract)
* -S (sparsify files on extraction)
* -s (regex filename substitutions)
* Use new libarchive 'linkify' to get correct hardlink handling for
both old and new cpio formats
* Rework 'copy' test to be insensitive to readdir() filename ordering
Most of the credit for this work goes to Joerg Sonnenberger, who
has been duplicating features from NetBSD's 'pax' program.
* New test scripts exercise some basic functionality
* Most header inclusions are now protected (portability)
* read.c now relies on security checks in libarchive instead
of trying to do its own (optimization)
* -p now enabled by default for root, add --no-same-permissions
to disable it
* Comments, minor style fixes.
source code. Include configure logic to pick up the
system one when it exists and use the fallback version
when it doesn't exist. Set the default for FreeBSD
to use the system version.
With this, bsdtar should now be quite portable.
* Add --null option (sort #defines here)
* Add process_lines function to util.c that reads newline-terminated
or null-terminated lines (with self-sizing buffers, etc) and iteratively
invokes a provided function. Use this to dramatically simplify:
-T handling for -c, --exclude-from-file, and --include-from-file.
* Add -T handling to -x (via include_from_file)
Hopefully, this will fix the openoffice port and a couple of
others that rely on -T and --null.
