Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
Nov 07, 2008: Read filter refactor: The decompression routines just
Packit Service 1d0348
	consume and produce arbitrarily-sized blocks.  The reblocking
Packit Service 1d0348
	from read_support_compression_none() has been pulled into the
Packit Service 1d0348
	read core.  Also, the decompression bid now makes multiple
Packit Service 1d0348
	passes and stacks read filters.

Sep 17, 2008: Miklos Vajna: lzma reader and test.  Note:  I still have
Packit Service 1d0348
	some concerns about the auto-detection (LZMA file format
Packit Service 1d0348
	doesn't support auto-detection well), so this is not yet
Packit Service 1d0348
	enabled under archive_read_support_compression_all().  For
Packit Service 1d0348
	now, you must call archive_read_support_compression_lzma() if
Packit Service 1d0348
	you want LZMA read support.
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 11, 2008: Ivailo Petrov: Many fixes to Windows build, new solution files
Packit Service 1d0348
Jul 26, 2008: archive_entry now tracks which values have not been set.
Packit Service 1d0348
	This helps zip extraction (file size is often "unknown") and
Packit Service 1d0348
	time restores (tar usually doesn't know atime).
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
        This was causing spurious test failures on a lot of systems.
Packit Service 1d0348
        Thanks to Bernhard R. Link for the diagnosis.
Packit Service 1d0348

May 04, 2008: libarchive 2.5.3b released
Packit Service 1d0348
	* libarchive: Several fixes to link resolver to address bsdcpio crashes
Packit Service 1d0348
	* bsdcpio: -p hardlink handling fixes
Packit Service 1d0348
	* tar/pax: Ensure ustar dirnames end in '/'; be more careful about
Packit Service 1d0348
	  measuring filenames when deciding what pathname fields to use
Packit Service 1d0348
	* libarchive: Mark which entry strings are set; be accurate about
Packit Service 1d0348
	  distinguishing empty strings ("") from unset ones (NULL)
Packit Service 1d0348
	* tar: Don't crash reading entries with empty filenames
Packit Service 1d0348
	* libarchive_test, bsdtar_test, bsdcpio_test:  Better defaults:
Packit Service 1d0348
	  run all tests, delete temp dirs, summarize repeated failures
Packit Service 1d0348
	* -no-undefined to libtool for Cygwin
Packit Service 1d0348
	* libarchive_test: Skip large file tests on systems with 32-bit off_t
Packit Service 1d0348
	* iso9660: Don't bother trying to find the body of an empty file;
Packit Service 1d0348
	  this works around strange behavior from some ISO9660 writers
Packit Service 1d0348
	* tar: allow -r -T to be used together
Packit Service 1d0348
	* tar: allow --format with -r or -u
Packit Service 1d0348
	* libarchive: Don't build archive.h
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
May 04, 2008: Simplified building: archive.h is no longer constructed
Packit Service 1d0348
	This may require additional #if conditionals on some platforms.

Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 15, 2008: bsdcpio now seems to correctly write hardlinks into newc,
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
	bsdcpio 1.0 becomes a reality.
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 15, 2008: I think the new linkify() interface is finally handling

Packit Service 1d0348
	files as they are needed.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 14, 2008: libarchive 2.4.14 released; identical to 2.4.13 except for

Feb 18, 2008: [bsdtar] Permit appending on block devices.
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 09, 2008: New "linkify" resolver to help with newc hardlink writing;
Packit Service 1d0348
	bsdcpio still needs to be converted to use this.
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 02, 2008: Windows compatibility fixes from Ivailo Petrov, Kees Zeelenberg

Packit Service 1d0348
	bsdcpio_test complains about missing options (-y and -z), format
Packit Service 1d0348
	of informational messages (--version, --help), and a minor formatting
Packit Service 1d0348
	issue in odc format output.  After this update, bsdcpio_test uncovered
Packit Service 1d0348
	several more cosmetic issues in bsdcpio, all now fixed.
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 22, 2008: Experimental support for self-extracting Zip archives.
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 22, 2008: Extend hardlink restore strategy to work correctly with
Packit Service 1d0348
	hardlinks extracted from newc cpio files.  (Which store the body
Packit Service 1d0348
	only with the last occurrence of a link.)
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Dec 30, 2007: libarchive 2.4.11 released

Packit Service 1d0348
Dec 03, 2007: Thanks to Lapo Luchini for sending me a ZIP file that
Packit Service 1d0348
	libarchive couldn't handle.  Fixed a bug in handling of
Packit Service 1d0348
	"length at end" flags in ZIP files.
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
	archive.  This is simpler and supports better error recovery.
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 29, 2007: Test support for very large entries in tar archives:
Packit Service 1d0348
	libarchive_test now exercises entries from 2GB up to 1TB.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 27, 2007: libarchive 2.3.5 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 27, 2007: Correct some unnecessary internal data copying in the
Packit Service 1d0348
	"compression none" reader and writer; this reduces user time
Packit Service 1d0348
	by up to 2/3 in some tests.  (Thanks to Jan Psota for
Packit Service 1d0348
	publishing his performance test results to GNU tar's bug-tar
Packit Service 1d0348
	mailing list; those results pointed me towards this problem.)
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 27, 2007: Fix for skipping archive entries that are exactly
Packit Service 1d0348
	a multiple of 4G on 32-bit platforms.
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 25, 2007: Fix for reading very large (>8G) tar archives; this was
Packit Service 1d0348
	broken when I put in support for new GNU tar sparse formats.
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 20, 2007: Initial work on new pattern-matching code for cpio; I
Packit Service 1d0348
	hope this eventually replaces the code currently in bsdtar.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 08, 2007: libarchive 2.3.4 released
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 05, 2007: New cpio.5 manpage, updates to "History" of bsdcpio.1 and
Packit Service 1d0348
	bsdtar.1 manpages.
Packit Service 1d0348
Oct 05, 2007: Fix zip reader to immediately return EOF if you try
Packit Service 1d0348
	to read body of non-regular file.  In particular, this fixes
Packit Service 1d0348
	bsdtar extraction of zip archives.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 30, 2007: libarchive 2.3.3 released

Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 26, 2007: cpio-odc and cpio-newc archives no longer write bodies
Packit Service 1d0348
	for non-regular files.
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 26, 2007: Test harness for bsdcpio is in place, needs more tests written.
Packit Service 1d0348
	This is much nicer than the ragtag collection of test scripts
Packit Service 1d0348
	that bsdtar has.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.2 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 20, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 broke bsdtar because the archive_write_data()
Packit Service 1d0348
	fix was implemented incorrectly.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 16, 2007: libarchive 2.3.1 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 16, 2007: Many fixes to bsdcpio 0.3:  handle hardlinks with -p, recognize
Packit Service 1d0348
	block size on writing, fix a couple of segfaults.
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 16, 2007: Fixed return value from archive_write_data() when used
Packit Service 1d0348
	with archive_write_disk() to match the documentation and other
Packit Service 1d0348
	instances of this same function.
Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 15, 2007: Add archive_entry_link_resolver, archive_entry_strmode

Packit Service 1d0348
Sep 01, 2007: libarchive 2.2.7 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 31, 2007: Support for reading mtree files, including an mtree.5 manpage
Packit Service 1d0348
	(A little experimental still.)
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 18, 2007: Read gtar 1.17 --posix --sparse entries.
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 13, 2007: Refined suid/sgid restore handling; it is no longer
Packit Service 1d0348
	an error if suid/sgid bits are dropped when you request
Packit Service 1d0348
	perm restore but don't request owner restore.
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 06, 2007: Use --enable-bsdcpio if you want to try bsdcpio
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 05, 2007: libarchive 2.2.6 released
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
Jul 12, 2007: Thanks to Colin Percival's help in diagnosing and
Packit Service 1d0348
	fixing several critical security bugs.  Details available at
Packit Service 1d0348
	http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
May 26, 2007: libarchive 2.2.3 released
Packit Service 1d0348
May 26, 2007: Fix memory leaks in ZIP reader and shar writer, add some
Packit Service 1d0348
	missing system headers to archive_entry.h, dead code cleanup
Packit Service 1d0348
	from Colin Percival, more tests for gzip/bzip2, fix an
Packit Service 1d0348
	EOF anomaly in bzip2 decompression.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
May 12, 2007: libarchive 2.2.2 released
Packit Service 1d0348
May 12, 2007: Fix archive_write_disk permission restore by cloning
Packit Service 1d0348
	entry passed into write_header so that permission info is
Packit Service 1d0348
	still available at finish_entry time.  (archive_read_extract()
Packit Service 1d0348
	worked okay because it held onto the passed-in entry, but
Packit Service 1d0348
	direct consumers of archive_write_disk would break).  This
Packit Service 1d0348
	required fixing archive_entry_clone(), which now works and has
Packit Service 1d0348
	a reasonably complete test case.
Packit Service 1d0348
May 10, 2007: Skeletal cpio implementation.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
May 06, 2007: libarchive 2.2.1 released
Packit Service 1d0348
May 06, 2007: Flesh out a lot more of test_entry.c so as to catch
Packit Service 1d0348
	problems such as the device node breakage before releasing <sigh>.
Packit Service 1d0348
May 05, 2007: Fix a bad bug introduced in 2.1.9 that broke device
Packit Service 1d0348
	node entries in tar archives.
Packit Service 1d0348
May 03, 2007: Move 'struct stat' out of archive_entry core as well.
Packit Service 1d0348
	This removes some portability headaches and fixes a bunch
Packit Service 1d0348
	of corner cases that arise when manipulating archives on
Packit Service 1d0348
	dissimilar systems.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348

Apr 24, 2007: Fix some recently-introduced problems with libraries
Packit Service 1d0348
	(Just let automake handle it and it all works much better.)
Packit Service 1d0348
	Finish isolating major()/minor()/makedev() in archive_entry.c.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 23, 2007: libarchive 2.1.8 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 23, 2007: Minor fixes found from building on MacOS X
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 22, 2007: libarchive 2.1.7 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 22, 2007: Eliminated all uses of 'struct stat' from the
Packit Service 1d0348
	format readers/writers.  This should improve portability;
Packit Service 1d0348
	'struct stat' is now only used in archive_entry and in
Packit Service 1d0348
	code that actually touches the disk.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 17, 2007: libarchive 2.1.6 released
Packit Service 1d0348
	Libarchive now compiles and passes all tests on Interix.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 16, 2007: libarchive 2.1.5 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 15, 2007: libarchive 2.1b2 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 15, 2007: New libarchive_internals.3 documentation of internal APIs.
Packit Service 1d0348
	Not complete, but should prove helpful.
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 15, 2007: Experimental "read_compress_program" and "write_compress_program"
Packit Service 1d0348
	for using libarchive with external compression.  Not yet
Packit Service 1d0348
	well tested, and likely has portability issues.  Feedback
Packit Service 1d0348
	appreciated.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released

	written to tar archives
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Apr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms.
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry
Packit Service 1d0348
    that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly.
Packit Service 1d0348
    The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created
Packit Service 1d0348
    with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter.
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed
Packit Service 1d0348
    some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar.
Packit Service 1d0348
    If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know.
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough
Packit Service 1d0348
    to enable as part of "make check", but getting better.
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when
Packit Service 1d0348
    a header write fails in a way that only affects this item.
Packit Service 1d0348
    Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent
Packit Service 1d0348
    portion of the ACL support for now).
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got
Packit Service 1d0348
    turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it.  (ACL restores and
Packit Service 1d0348
    libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax
Packit Service 1d0348
    archives was unaffected.)
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 2, 2007:  It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.
Packit Service 1d0348
    Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking
Packit Service 1d0348
    whether the current user has too few or too many privileges.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs.
Packit Service 1d0348
    Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò for telling me about the
Packit Service 1d0348
    broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause
Packit Service 1d0348
    of this long-standing bug.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod().
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files,
Packit Service 1d0348
    without a proper end-of-archive marker.  Fixed.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT
Packit Service 1d0348
    and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK.  These checks used to be in bsdtar,
Packit Service 1d0348
    but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by
Packit Service 1d0348
    other tools and where they can be better optimized.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling
Packit Service 1d0348
    of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating
Packit Service 1d0348
    to SUID and SGID bits.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a
Packit Service 1d0348
    distinct archive format.  Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g.,
Packit Service 1d0348
    "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar"
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place.  It provides
Packit Service 1d0348
    a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract.  In particular,
Packit Service 1d0348
    you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive
Packit Service 1d0348
    around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you
Packit Service 1d0348
    want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups
Packit Service 1d0348
    (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat).
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the
Packit Service 1d0348
    most common cases with a minimal number of system calls.
Packit Service 1d0348
    Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner
Packit Service 1d0348
    cases involving objects that already exist on disk.   I expect
Packit Service 1d0348
    the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases.
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially
Packit Service 1d0348
    corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files.
Packit Service 1d0348
Jan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs.  The code should correctly handle
Packit Service 1d0348
    very large ISOs with entries up to 4G.   Thanks to Robert Sciuk
Packit Service 1d0348
    for pointing out these issues.
Packit Service 1d0348

Aug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these
Packit Service 1d0348
   are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything
Packit Service 1d0348
   that needs to change.
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close()
Packit Service 1d0348
   They weren't returning any errors before.
Packit Service 1d0348
Aug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set
Packit Service 1d0348
   Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when
Packit Service 1d0348
   using archive_write_open() directly.
Packit Service 1d0348
Jul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting
Packit Service 1d0348
   single files from large uncompressed archives.
Packit Service 1d0348
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released
Packit Service 1d0348

Packit Service 1d0348
   files.  I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on.

   spending much time on.
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support
Packit Service 1d0348
   for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.).
Packit Service 1d0348
Mar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz
Packit Service 1d0348
   file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar.
Packit Service 1d0348
Feb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write
Packit Service 1d0348
   Pax attribute entry names.
Packit Service 1d0348
Nov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive.  Feedback
Packit Service 1d0348
   appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all()
Packit Service 1d0348
   yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics.
Packit Service 1d0348
Nov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady,
Packit Service 1d0348
   minor bugfixes.

Packit Service 1d0348
   http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/
Packit Service 1d0348
   including examples of using it from Objective-C.  His MoinX
