The use case is described in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2021-01/msg00026.html The bug was introduced by 2d3396c3ea. * src/extract.c (create_placeholder_file): If placeholder already exists and is registered in the delayed_link list, return immediately. 2021-02-04 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix savannah bug #60002 Bug was introduced by commit 34d15af1. * src/extract.c (prepare_to_extract): When extracting over pipe, process only regular files. * tests/extrac24.at: New test case. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new test case. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. 2021-01-17 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix memory leak in read_header Bug reported in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59897 * src/list.c (read_header): Don't return directly from the loop. Instead set the status and break. Return the status. Free next_long_name and next_long_link before returning. 2021-01-17 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix improper argument reference. (bug introduced by 1ff0b63f) * src/tar.c (parse_default_options): Pass args as is to the argp_parse. 2021-01-16 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix regression itroduced by 66162927. * src/misc.c (chdir_arg): Initialize the abspath field to NULL. (tar_getcdpath): Actually initialize the abspath field here. 2021-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fixes in the delete_archive_members function * src/delete.c (delete_archive_members): Clean-up the code. Avoid entering the loop from the middle. Free the memory allocated for current_stat_info. 2021-01-08 Sergey Poznyakoff Use stdopen from gnulib * gnulib.modules: Request stdopen * lib/Makefile.am: Remove stdopen.c and stdopen.h * lib/stdopen.c: Remove. * lib/stdopen.h: Remove. * src/tar.c: stdopen returns 0 on success. 2021-01-08 Sergey Poznyakoff Actually prefer /dev/full over /dev/null as a replacement for stdin * lib/stdopen.c (stdopen): Fix improper condition. Avoid leaking extra file descriptor. * src/tar.c (main): Set name of the stdout for diagnostics. Bail out if stdopen fails. 2021-01-07 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.33 * NEWS: Update. * configure.ac: Raise version number. Require automake 1.15 and autoconf 2.64. * gnulib: pull v0.1-4333-g30820c2 * src/names.c: Use hash_remove instead of the deprecated hash_delete. 2021-01-06 Sergey Poznyakoff Update copyright years 2020-07-13 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix typo in the manpage * doc/tar.1: Fix description of the --newer option 2020-07-10 Pavel Raiskup Bugfix --sparse --diff mode Originally reported in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1853469 * src/sparse.c (check_data_region): Only compare the part of buffer really fed by safe_read(), not whole rdsize. 2020-06-24 Sergey Poznyakoff Accept only position-sensitive (file-selection) options in file list files. Using such options as -f, -z, etc. is senseless in the file list file and bypasses the option consistency checks in decode_options. Therefore, only options related to file selection (a.k.a position-sensitive options) are allowed in files. * doc/tar.texi: Document changes. * src/common.h (tar_args): Move from tar.c (TAR_ARGS_INITIALIZER): New macro. * src/names.c: Declare option group identifiers as an enum. (names_parse_opt): Special handling for ARGP_KEY_ERROR. (names_argp): Remove static qualifier. (names_argp_children): Remove. * src/tar.c: Declare option group identifiers as an enum. (parse_opt): Special handling for ARGP_KEY_INIT. (argp_children): New static variable. (args): Remove static variable. (more_options): Allow only options from names_argp. (parse_default_options): Take a pointer to struct tar_args as argument. Replace the loc member during the call to argp_parse and restore it afterwards. (decode_options): Use automatic variable for args. 2020-06-22 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix the logic of prepare_to_extract. * src/extract.c (prepare_to_extract): Return true to proceed with the extraction, and false to skip the current member. If extracting over a pipe, skip unlinking logic. (extract_archive): Update accordingly. 2020-06-15 Sergey Poznyakoff Make sure link counting works for file names supplied with -T * src/common.h (name_count): Remove extern. (files_count): New enum.

Now it marks a directory which is the last one in a chain of renames. Regular renamed directories are recognized by their orig member being non-NULL. Directories marked with DIRF_RENAMED start encoding of renames. (procdir): Clear DIRF_RENAMED flag on directories which are origins for renames. (makedumpdir): Use the orig member to check if the directory is a result of a rename. (store_rename): Move the check for DIR_IS_RENAMED to the caller. Don't clear the DIRF_RENAMED, it is not needed any more. * tests/rename06.at: New test. * tests/Makefile.am: Add rename06.at * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. 2020-02-08 Sergey Poznyakoff Update copyright years 2020-02-08 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix the --no-overwrite-dir option Given this option, tar failed to preserve permissions of empty directories and to create files under directories owned by the current user that did not have the S_IWUSR bit set. * src/extract.c (fd_chmod): Rename to fd_i_chmod. (fd_chmod): New function. (safe_dir_mode): New function. (extract_dir): Special handling for existing directories in --no-overwrite-dir mode. * tests/extrac23.at: New file. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new test case. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. 2019-12-03 Sergey Poznyakoff Wildcards in exclude-vcs-ignore mode should not match slash * src/exclist.c (info_attach_exclist): Use the FNM_FILE_NAME flag. 2019-11-27 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.32.90 2019-11-25 Sergey Poznyakoff Testsuite fixes * tests/sparse06.at: Skip the test if genfile is unable to create sparse files. * tests/sptrcreat.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrdiff00.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrdiff01.at: Likewise. 2019-11-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Another testsuite fix. * tests/extrac11.at: Skip test if ulimit fails. 2019-11-13 Sergey Poznyakoff Testsuite fix. * tests/remfiles10.at: Don't expect EINVAL when trying to remove CWD. 2019-08-25 Sergey Poznyakoff Consistently use x2realloc for buffer reallocation * src/create.c (create_archive): Use x2realloc * src/names.c (copy_name) (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Use x2realloc 2019-08-18 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix extraction of symbolic links hardlinked to another symbolic links * src/extract.c (create_placeholder_file): Take additional argument: the delayed_link entry after which to the newly created one. (extract_link): Create a placeholder file if the target link name exists in the delayed_link list. 2019-04-11 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix --delay-directory-restore on archives with reversed member ordering. * src/extract.c (find_direct_ancestor): Remove useless test. (delay_set_stat): If the file name being added is already in the list, update stored data instead of creating a new entry. This works for archives with reversed order of members. * tests/extrac22.at: New testcase. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new testcase. * tests/testsuite.at: Include new testcase. 2019-03-28 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor change * scripts/backup.in: Fix typo Typesetting fixes in the manpage 2019-03-28 Zachary Vance POSIX extended format headers do not include PID by default The intent is to make binary-equivalent PAX archives easy to create. If POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the POSIX standard default is used, which embeds the pid. * src/common.h (posixly_correct): New global. * src/tar.c (decode_options): Detect the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable. * src/buffer.c (add_chunk_header): Change filenames of multipart files to omit the pid. * src/xheader.c (HEADER_TEMPLATE): New macro. (xheader_xhdr_name, xheader_ghdr_name): Use HEADER_TEMPLATE to select the template for the POSIX extended header name. * doc/tar.texi: Document the change. 2019-03-03 Sergey Poznyakoff Check return value from xgetcwd * src/misc.c (chdir_arg,tar_getcdpath): Check for non-NULL return from xgetcwd. The function returns NULL for any error originating from getcwd. 2019-02-23 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.32 2019-02-04 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor fixes in docs. * doc/tar.1: Remove description of the --preserve option Document verbosity levels. * doc/tar.texi: Fix description of the -o option. 2019-01-15 Daniel Le Fix typos in the documentation Short option "t" was mistranslated to "--test" instead of "--list" in commit 67cad0792b4e6cf22c6cb1b167b149cd176d49f9. 2019-01-15 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix build on AIX * src/unlink.c (flush_deferred_unlinks): Avoid possible duplicate case (if ENOTEMPTY==EEXIST) 2019-01-15 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.31.90 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Ensure gnu format when running checkpoint tests 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix compression tests Existing compression tests used tar with compiled-in defaults. However, some of the defaults are sure to create archives that are not byte-to-byte reproducible (e.g. DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=POSIX, because the name field in posix extended headers uses PID of the creating process by default). Moreover, some compressors (e.g. gzip) store current timestamp in the file header when compressing from stdin, so that using cmp on the two created archives as the tests did is error-prone. Another problem is that the tests implicitly assumed that tar uses archive suffix to recognize its format when extracting, which isn't the case. Finally, there's hardly any reason in using sed to create m4 sources, when everything can be achieved by m4 itself. * tests/Makefile.am: Remove generation of compress-*.at files. * tests/compress.at.in: Remove. * tests/compress.m4: New file. * tests/testsuite.at: Include compress.m4, use TAR_CHECK_COMPRESS to check compression options. 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix possible NULL dereference (savannah bug #55369) * src/sparse.c (pax_decode_header): Check return from find_next_block. 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix compilation without iconv. 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix iconv usage. Patch by Christian Weisgerber. * src/utf8.c (utf8_convert): non-zero return from iconv means failure. 2019-01-14 Pavel Raiskup tests: fix numeric.at for BSD While creating file, BSD kernels inherit the group ownership from parent directory. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-06/msg00000.html * tests/numeric.at: Attempt to 'chown' the newly created directory to proper group (at least on affected machines that command is expected to succeed). 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix typo in manpage. 2019-01-14 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix expected output in dirrem tests. In both tests, the "file changed as we read it" warning might be produced for dir/sub, depending on the ctime resolution and timing. The problem was fixed by 64b43fdf70d82c39eb2ca900cd4f8e49, but regressed after e7cd377f7801d42aa8e07addff93d2150666c237, which removed 1 second delays between each pair of checkpoints. Since the presense or absense of this warning is irrelevant for the test, it is now suppressed. * tests/dirrem01.at: Suppress the file-changed warning. * tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise. 2019-01-12 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix the use of --checkpoint without explicit --checkpoint-action * src/checkpoint.c (checkpoint_finish_compile): Set default action, if necessary. * tests/checkpoint/defaults.at: New testcase. * tests/checkpoint/dot-compat.at: New testcase. * tests/checkpoint/dot-int.at: New testcase. * tests/checkpoint/dot.at: New testcase. * tests/checkpoint/interval.at: New testcase. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new testcases. * tests/testsuite.at Include new testcases. 2019-01-10 Sergey Poznyakoff Remove erroneous abort() call The call was introduced by commit ccef8581. It caused tar to abort on perfectly normal operations, like untarring archives containing ./ with the -U option, See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2019-01/msg00019.html for details. * src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable): Remove misplaced call to abort(). 2019-01-02 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.31 2018-12-28 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix the difflink test Hardlinking a symlink produces hardlink on BSD and symlink on GNU/Linux. Avoid the ambiguity. * tests/difflink.at: Create hard link from a regular file. 2018-12-28 Sergey Poznyakoff Work over a bug in gnulib error() The error() function from glibc correctly prefixes each message it prints with program_name as set by set_program_name. However, its replacement from gnulib, which is linked in on systems where this function is not available, prints the name returned by getprogname() instead. Due to this messages output by tar subprocess (which sets its program name to 'tar (child)') become indiscernible from those printed by the main process. In particular, this breaks the remfiles01.at and remfiles02.at test cases. * configure.ac: Define ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME if using gnulib error(). * src/tar.c [ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME] (tar_print_progname): New function. (main) [ENABLE_ERROR_PRINT_PROGNAME]: Set error_print_progname. 2018-12-28 Sergey Poznyakoff Implement the "wait" checkpoint action. This action instructs tar to pause until given signal is delivered. The newer genfile tool uses this action for communication between genfile and tar in exec mode. This eliminates race conitions and speeds up the tests based on exec mode. * doc/tar.texi: Document changes. * paxutils: Upgrade. * src/checkpoint.c: Implement the wait action. * src/common.h (decode_signal): New proto. * src/tar.c (decode_signal): New function. (set_stat_signal): Rewrite. * tests/dirrem01.at: Adjust genfile and tar command line arguments to use the new feature. * tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise. * tests/filerem01.at: Likewise. * tests/filerem02.at: Likewise. * tests/grow.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrcreat.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrdiff00.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrdiff01.at: Likewise. * tests/truncate.at: Likewise. 2018-12-27 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix CVE-2018-20482 * NEWS: Update. * src/sparse.c (sparse_dump_region): Handle short read condition. (sparse_extract_region,check_data_region): Fix dumped_size calculation. Handle short read condition. (pax_decode_header): Fix dumped_size calculation. * tests/Makefile.am: Add new testcases. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. * tests/sptrcreat.at: New file. * tests/sptrdiff00.at: New file. * tests/sptrdiff01.at: New file. 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Disallow modifications to the global pax extended header in update mode. Updating global headers in update mode is not possible, because: 1) If the original archive was not in PAX format, writing the global header would overwrite first member header (and eventually data blocks) in the archive. 2) Otherwise, using the --pax-option can make the updated header occupy more blocks than the original one, which would lead to the same effect as in 1. This also fixes http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00007.html * src/xheader.c (xheader_forbid_global): New function. * src/common.h (xheader_forbid_global): New prototype. * src/update.c (update_archive): Use xheader_forbid_global, instead of trying to write global extended header record. 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Bugfix Bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00014.html * src/names.c (collect_and_sort_names): Fix iteration over namelist. 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix semantics of -K used together with explicit member names. This also fixes the bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00012.html * src/common.h (starting_file_option): Describe the variable. * src/names.c (add_starting_file): New function. (name_match): Ignore everything before the member indicated by the --starting-file option * src/tar.c: Use add_starting_file to handle the -K option. 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix error handling when reading incremental snapshots Bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00008.html * incremen.c (read_incr_db_01): Don't try to continue after errors. 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Reject pax options starting with equals sign Bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00010.html * xheader.c (xheader_set_keyword_equal): Bail out if the keyword starts with = 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix buffer overflow Bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00011.html * src/xheader.c (xheader_format_name): fix length calculation 2018-12-21 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix improper memory access Bug reported in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2018-12/msg00009.html * src/transform.c (parse_transform_expr): Check if re is not empty before accessing its last byte. 2018-11-24 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix parsing of ACLs Text returned by acl_to_text can contain comments (introduced by #). Strip comments and horizontal tabs prior to storing ACLs in PAX headers. * src/xattrs.c (xattrs_acls_cleanup): New function. (xattrs__acls_get_a,xattrs__acls_get_d): Use xattrs_acls_cleanup. 2018-11-24 Sergey Poznyakoff Don't try to read past the end of header string fields * src/common.h (assign_string_n): New proto. (ASSIGN_STRING_N): New macro. * src/misc.c (assign_string_n): New function. * gnulib.modules: Add strnlen. * src/buffer.c: Use assign_string_n where appropriate. * src/list.c: Likewise. 2018-11-12 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix verbose ACL listing * src/xattrs.c (acls_one_line): Advance pos. (xattrs_print): Insert a comma between ACL and default ACL if both are non-empty. 2018-10-29 Paul Eggert tar: fix numbered backup bug * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file): Pass chdir_fd, not AT_FDCWD, to find_backup_file_name. This fixes a bug whereby the wrong backup file name was chosen for numbered backups. 2018-10-29 Paul Eggert * src/tar.c (expand_pax_option): Pacify recent GCC. 2018-10-29 Paul Eggert build: update gnulib submodule to latest * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file): Adjust to Gnulib change. 2018-08-02 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor fixes in wordsplit.c 2018-08-02 Paul Eggert build: update gnulib submodule to latest 2018-07-31 Sergey Poznyakoff Silence gcc warnings in wordsplit 2018-07-31 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix double-free introduced by 577dc345 * src/utf8.c (utf8_convert): Don't store freed value in *output 2018-07-31 Pavel Raiskup Report race on systems without O_DIRECTORY * src/names.c (collect_and_sort_names): Report ENOTDIR after successful fstat() but !S_ISDIR. 2018-07-31 Pavel Raiskup Avoid some resource leaks * src/incremen.c (store_rename): Free temp_name, leaked before for each renamed directory with --listed-incremental. * src/transform.c (add_literal_segment): Tighten arguments by const. (parse_transform_expr): Free 'str', leaked storage for each --transform option before. * src/utf8.c (utf8_convert): Deallocate buffer for failed iconv() call so callers don't have to. 2018-07-31 Sergey Poznyakoff Sync wordsplit and paxutils with the most recent versions 2018-06-14 Paul Eggert * doc/tar.1: Fix font typo noted by esr. 2018-05-16 Paul Eggert * doc/tar.1: Don't refer to nonexistent tar(5). 2018-04-13 Jim Meyering --one-top-level: avoid a heap-buffer-overflow * NEWS: Mention this. * src/suffix.c (strip_compression_suffix): Fix string comparison guard.

(compress-*.at): New rules to generate a file/tests for each compression tool. * tests/testsuite.at (Compression): Add each of these generated files in a new section. * tests/.gitignore: Ignore the new generated files. 2018-03-18 Aaron Schrab Fix typo 2018-03-18 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.30.90 * NEWS: Update. * configure.ac: Update. * THANKS: Add Adam Borowski. 2018-03-18 Adam Borowski Add support for zstd compression * configure.ac (zstd): Register compression program. * doc/tar.1: Mention --zstd. * doc/tar.texi: Document zstd support. * src/buffer.c: Register zstd compression. * src/suffix.c: Add suffixes zst and tzst. * src/tar.c: New compression option --zstd. 2018-03-18 Pavel Raiskup tests: fix race in dirrem01 and dirrem02 Previously the '--checkpoint-action=echo' was triggered after '--checkpoint-action=sleep=1' - so the order of events *usually* was (for --format='gnu'): ... 1. checkpoint handler before write of 'dir/sub' member 2. one-second delay 3. stderr write: 'tar: Write checkpoint 3' 4. write the member 'dir/sub' into the archive 5. check that the member's ctime has not been changed 6. genfile's detecting 'Write checkpoint', doing unlink ... But sometimes, the genfile was fast enough to win the race and unlinked the directory before the member was written into the archive (IOW, the order was 1-2-3-6-4-5). This led to the occasional warning 'tar: dir/sub: file changed as we read it'. Swap the order of 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions so the genfile utility has (hopefully) enough time to do the unlink before writing the file into the archive (enforce 1-2-3-6-4-5 order). * tests/dirrem01.at: Swap 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions. * tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise. 2018-03-13 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix typos in the docs 2018-03-13 Sergey Poznyakoff Provide a way to skip tests that create very large files Define environment variable TARTEST_SKIP_LARGE_FILES=1 in order to skip tests that require lots of disk space. * tests/testsuite.at (AT_SKIP_LARGE_FILES): New macro. * tests/sparse03.at: Mark test with AT_SKIP_LARGE_FILES. * tests/sparse05.at: Likewise. * tests/star/pax-big-10g.at: Likewise. * tests/star/ustar-big-2g.at: Likewise. * tests/star/ustar-big-8g.at: Likewise. 2018-03-13 Sergey Poznyakoff Testsuite bugfix * tests/difflink.at: Define order of files within tested archive. 2018-03-13 Sergey Poznyakoff testsuite: account for absolute file names starting with double slash * tests/incr08.at: Absolute file names can start with // * tests/xform03.at: Likewise. 2017-12-17 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.30 * configure.ac: Set version 1.30 * NEWS: Update. 2017-11-20 Paul Eggert Fix "concatenating" typo.

When creating multivolume archives, the bufmap code in buffer.c implicitly assumed that the members are stored in the archive contiguously, ignoring the member (and eventual extended) headers between them. This worked until the member header happened to be at the very beginning of the volume, in which case its length was included in the calculation of the stored size and size left to store. Due to this, the GNUFileParts extended header contained invalid GNU.volume.offset value, and the resulting archive failed to extract properly. This patch also eliminates improper listing of file part headers as regular files, when creating multivolume posix archives with -v. * src/buffer.c (bufmap): New member nblocks. Counts number of blocks of file data written since reset. (bufmap_reset): Reset nblocks to 0. (_flush_write): Update nblocks. When computing offset difference for bufmap_reset, count only data blocks, not headers. (close_archive): Flush archive until all blocks are written.

The `--clamp-mtime` option can only be used together with `--mtime`. Typical use case is to make builds reproducible: to loose less information, it's better to keep the original date of an archive, except for files modified during the build process. In that case, using a reference (and thus reproducible) timestamps for the latter is good enough. See for more information.

Filename-selection options are --wildcards, --recursive, etc. (see names.c for a complete list). These options are position-sensitive, i.e. each such option affects all filenames and filename-selection options that appear after it until eventually cancelled by a corresponding counterpart option. These options can appear in "file-from" file lists, which means that they cannot be handled right away, but instead should be put on the "name_elt" list and processed sequentionally, as file name arguments are. * src/common.h (warn_regex_usage): Remove.

(parse_default_options, decode_options): Fill out incomplete initializers. 2015-08-31 Sergey Poznyakoff Improve option sanity checking Any two conflicting options are reported only if they both occur in the command line. Otherwise, options defined in the command line silently override those set in the TAR_OPTIONS environment variable. * src/common.h (option_source): New enum. (option_locus): New struct. * src/names.c (name_elt): New member: line. (name_add_file): Initialize line. (read_name_from_file): Keep track of input line number for diagnostic purposes.

(dump_file0): Use areadlinkat_with_size, rather than trying to do it by hand, incorrectly. This also avoids assumption that the symlink contents fit on the stack. Also, use the transformed link name, not the original link name, when deciding whether the name is long enough to require writing a long link. 2015-07-13 Paul Eggert tar: port -d to longer symlinks * src/compare.c (diff_symlink): Don't use alloca on symlink length; it might be too big for the stack. Don't assume that readlinkat's return value fits in 'int'. Prefer memcmp to strncmp where either will do. 2015-07-13 Paul Eggert tar: port to recent gnulib * gnulib.modules: Remove 'acl' and add 'file-has-acl'. 2015-07-13 Paul Eggert tar: pacify GCC 5.1 -Wformat-signedness * lib/wordsplit.c (struct wordsplit_node.flags): Now unsigned, so that 'printf ("%x", p->flags)' doesn't provoke GCC. * src/incremen.c (read_num, dumpdir_ok): Don't printf an int with %x or %o. 2015-04-16 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix extraction from concatenated incremental archives. * src/common.h (remove_delayed_set_stat): New proto. * src/extract.c (free_delayed_set_stat) (remove_delayed_set_stat): New function.

The commit cdb27293 made the -T option more flexible, but incurred a very considerable memory overhead by storing all file names in the argument array. In case of very big file lists this caused tar to run out of memory. This was reported by Christian Wetzel on March 14, 2013 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-03/msg00018.html). On the other hand, Michal Žeidl discovered that tar malfunctioned when given empty file lists or lists with the trailing newline missing in the last entry. This was reported by Pavel Raiskup on July 23 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-07/msg00009.html and msg00010.html).

(decode_options): Accept the --occurrence option with any subcommand from the SUBCL_OCCUR class. 2013-06-29 Pavel Raiskup testsuite: do not resist on file order in archive On my Fedora 19 box, the exclude08 & exclude11 tests failed before this fix. The reason was that the directory traversing chosen the file order differently than the testsuite expected. * tests/exclude08.at: Sort the tarball content output. * tests/exclude09.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude10.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude11.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude12.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude13.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude14.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude15.at: Likewise. * tests/exclude16.at: Likewise. 2013-06-29 Sergey Poznyakoff Improve checks for incompatible options. * src/common.h (READ_LIKE_SUBCOMMAND): Remove define. * src/tar.c (IS_SUBCOMMAND_CLASS): New macro.

(simple_print_header): Do not assume UID, GID fit in 'long'. * src/list.c (from_header): * src/xheader.c (out_of_range_header): Arg is now a plain minimum value, not minus minval converted to uintmax_t. All callers changed. * src/misc.c (COMMON_INLINE): New macro.

Rely on decode_timespec to do most of the work. (code_signed_num): New function. (code_num): Use it. (decode_signed_num): New function. (decode_num): Use it. (gid_coder, gid_decoder, uid_coder, uid_decoder, sparse_map_decoder) (sparse_map_decoder): Code and decode negative values.

Problem reported by Khanh-Dang Nguyen Thu Lam in . 2012-01-06 Paul Eggert tar: don't assume O_NONBLOCK is benign on regular files On Data Migration Facility (DMF), High Performance Storage System (HPSS), and presumably other file systems based on hierarchical storage, opening a regular file with O_NONBLOCK can cause later reads to fail with errno == EAGAIN. We need the O_NONBLOCK to avoid some security races. Work around the problem by using fcntl to clear the O_NONBLOCK flag if I/O fails with that errno value.

Remove trailing whitespace. 2011-09-19 Nathan Stratton Treadway Minor changes. * doc/snapshot.texi: Clarify the use of nfs field in 0 and 1 formats. Give more precise information about which versions of tar used each format. 2011-09-19 Nathan Stratton Treadway Upgrade tar-snapshot-edit script. * scripts/tar-snapshot-edit: Update Perl syntax to work correctly with more recent versions of Perl. (The original code worked with in the v5.8 timeframe but not with Perl v5.10.1 and later.) Add a "-c" option to check the snapshot file for invalid field values. Handle NFS indicator character ("+") in version 0 and 1 files. Preserve the original header/version line when editing version 1 or 2 files. Tweak output formatting. * doc/tar-snapshot-edit.texi: Update documentation. 2011-08-13 Paul Eggert tar: --owner and --group names and numbers The --owner and --group options now accept operands of the form NAME:NUM, so that you can specify both symbolic name and numeric ID for owner and group. Also, in these options, NAME no longer needs to be present in the current host's user and group databases; this implements Debian enhancement request 136231 reported by Mark W. Eichin, communicated by Thayne Harbaugh to bug-tar in . * NEWS, doc/tar.texi (Option Summary, override): Document enhancement. * src/common.h (group_name_option, owner_name_option): New decls. * src/create.c (start_header): Don't assume owner and group names are in current host database. * src/tar.c (parse_owner_group): New function, for parsing NAME:NUM.

(extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Go back to using timestamp_cmp instead of same_birthtime, as this is a bit simpler. This fix relies on an up-to-date gnulib. 2011-06-08 Paul Eggert tar: use birthtime rather than ctime when checking identity Without this fix, tar would sometimes mishandle the extraction of hard links to symbolic links. Problem reported in by Andreas Stolcke. * src/extract.c (struct delayed_link): Change ctime member to birthtime. (same_birthtime): New function. (create_placeholder_file, extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Use it to compare birthtimes (when available) instead of ctime. 2011-05-26 Paul Eggert * doc/tar.texi (Old Options): Clarify distinction from short options.

Be more systematic about backslashes inside ``; it shouldn't matter for modern shells but it might matter for older ones. * scripts/restore.in: Likewise. * scripts/backup.in: Adjust implementation of -t/--time to match the new implementation of -l/--level. 2010-11-15 Sergey Poznyakoff Issue a warning if the archive being compared contains transformed file names. * src/common.h (transform_program_p): New proto. * src/transform.c (transform_program_p): New function. * src/compare.c (verify_volume): Warn if the archive contains transformed file names. 2010-11-15 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor change. * doc/tar.texi: Reword the description of decompress-program. 2010-11-15 Paul Eggert tar: fix --verify option, which broke in 1.24 * NEWS: Document this. * src/compare.c (verify_volume): Decode the header before invoking diff_archive, as diff_archive no longer does this as of the 2010-06-28 commit. Also, don't try to invoke diff_archive on a zero block. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add verify.at. * tests/testsuite.at: Include verify.at. * tests/verify.at: New file. 2010-11-08 Paul Eggert Merge branch 'master' of ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/tar 2010-11-08 Jim Meyering tests: avoid spurious failure when VERSION_CONTROL envvar is set * tests/backup01.at: Unset VERSION_CONTROL. Otherwise, when set to e.g., 'always', it would cause this test to fail. 2010-11-07 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.25 * configure.ac: Version 1.25 * NEWS: Describe the changes. 2010-11-05 Sergey Poznyakoff Run alternative decompression programs if the principal one is not available. Some compression programs are able to handle various compression formats (e.g. `gzip' can decompress files created by `compress', `xz' is able to handle lzma, etc.) Tar tries to use such programs for decompression if the principal decompressor cannot be started. * src/buffer.c (compress_type): Swap ct_none and ct_tar. (archive_compression_type): New static variable. (zip_magic): Remove program and option fields. (zip_program): New structure and static. (compress_program): Remove macro. (find_zip_program): New static function. (first_decompress_program,next_decompress_program): New functions. (open_compressed_archive): Set archive_compression_type instead of use_compress_program_option. * src/common.h (first_decompress_program) (next_decompress_program): New functions. (WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM): New flag. (WARN_VERBOSE_WARNINGS): Include WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM. * src/warning.c (warning_args): Add "decompress-program". (warning_types): Add WARN_DECOMPRESS_PROGRAM. * src/system.c (run_decompress_program): New function. (sys_child_open_for_uncompress): Use run_decompress_program instead of calling execlp directly. 2010-11-02 Paul Eggert tests: fix some issues with signals, timestamps, "test" typo * tests/extrac17.at: Add --warning=no-timestamp, to avoid bogus warning due to NFS clock skew. * tests/remfiles01.at: Discard diagnostics that some shells generate about broken pipes. * tests/sigpipe.at: Likewise. * tests/remfiles01.at: Fix typo: "test $EC" was written where "test $EC -ne 0" was intended. 2010-11-01 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix extraction of device nodes. * src/extract.c (extract_node): Do not mask out node type. The bug was introduced in commit ea964cce. 2010-10-28 Paul Eggert tar: don't cross struct member boundaries with OLDGNU_MAGIC * src/create.c (write_gnu_long_link, start_header): Access header->buffer + offsetof (struct posix_header, magic), instead of header->header.magic, when reading or writing the OLDGNU_MAGIC pattern. The code violates the C standard without this change, and GCC warns about this if fortify checking is enabled. It's not a bug on traditional (i.e., non-debugging) platforms, but it does violate the C standard so it should be fixed. Problem originally reported by John Emil Karlson in . * src/list.c (decode_header): Likewise. 2010-10-28 Paul Eggert tests: port to sh variants that squirrel away file descriptors OpenBSD /bin/sh, and some other sh variants, squirrel away file descriptors before closing them. For example, for "cat 3<&-" they first dup file descriptor 3 to a fd that is 10 or greater, then close 3 (because if "cat" had been a builtin command like ":" then they would have wanted to avoid the fork and restore the fd after ":" finished); and they treat ordinary (forking) commands the same as builtin commands. This approach fails after "ulimit -n 10". Work around this deficiency by closing the file descriptors before invoking ulimit. Problem reported by Christian Weisgerber in ; solution suggested by Jilles Tjoelker in . * tests/extrac11.at (scarce file descriptors): Close file descriptors before invoking ulimit -n. 2010-10-27 Sergey Poznyakoff Transform file names when updating and appending to archives. This complements 28e91b48. * src/common.h (transform_stat_info): New prototype. * src/list.c (transform_stat_info): Remove static qualifier. * src/update.c (update_archive): Call transform_stat_info. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add append03.at * tests/testsuite.at: Include append03.at 2010-10-27 Paul Eggert tests: port to Solaris diff * tests/extrac13.at: Don't assume that "diff -c" outputs nothing when there are no differences. This is not true on Solaris, where it outputs "No differences encountered". 2010-10-27 Paul Eggert tar: fix -x --overwrite bug (no --dereference, ! O_NOFOLLOW) This bug was discovered on Solaris 8. On older hosts lacking O_NOFOLLOW, tar -x --overwrite (without --dereference) follows symbolic links, causing the "extract over symlinks" test to fail. * src/extract.c (open_output_file): If O_NOFOLLOW is needed but does not work, check for a symlink separately. 2010-10-27 Paul Eggert tar: don't use "((" in shell scripts * tests/extrac11.at: Replace "((" with "( (" in shell scripts, as "((" is not portable to the Korn shell, and POSIX 1003.1-2008 says that "((" is not portable. 2010-10-26 Sergey Poznyakoff Make sure name matching occurs before name transformation. The commit 9c194c99 altered that order. * src/list.c (transform_stat_info): New function. Split off from decode_header. (read_and): Call transform_stat_info right before do_something, and after deciding if we should proceed with this member name, so that name matching occurs before name transformation. * tests/extrac17.at: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac17.at * tests/testsuite.at: Include extrac17.at. 2010-10-26 Paul Eggert tar: don't assume stdin is open when testing fd limits * tests/extrac11.at: Redirect stdin from /dev/null, in case the parent 'make' is running with stdin closed. 2010-10-26 Sergey Poznyakoff Further fixes in bootstrap. * bootstrap: Restore the default for gnulib_path (symlink_to_dir): Re-apply 67cad07. 2010-10-26 Paul Eggert tar: fix bug with -C and extracting directories Problem reported by Denis Excoffier in . * src/extract.c (extract_dir): Use mkdirat, not mkdir. * tests/extrac16.at: New file, to test for this bug. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it earlier. 2010-10-25 Sergey Poznyakoff Version 1.24 * configure.ac, NEWS: Version 1.24 * bootstrap: Restore tar-specific code lost during last sync from gnulib (241b72ffad). * src/misc.c (chdir_do): Remove unused automatic variable. 2010-10-16 Paul Eggert tar: use more-accurate diagnostic when intermediate mkdir fails Without this change, if tar tried to extract a file A/B/C, noticed that A/B didn't exist, attempted to mkdir A/B, and the mkdir failed, it did not diagnose the mkdir failure, but simply reported the failure to open A/B/C. This sometimes led to confusion because it wasn't clear what tar was trying to do, in particular that tar tried to mkdir A/B. With this patch, tar issues two diagnostics in this case: one for A/B and the other for A/B/C. Problem reported by Hauke Laging in . * gnulib.modules: Remove faccessat. * src/extract.c (make_directories): New arg INTERDIR_MADE. Diagnose mkdir failure. Return 0 on success, nonzero on failure, as opposed to nonzero iff some directory was created. All callers changed. Simplify the code when mkdir fails, by checking whether the desired file exists unless errno==EEXIST: this is more robust. * tests/extrac15.at: New test, to check this. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. 2010-10-16 Paul Eggert tests: port to NFS file servers with clock skew Several of the tests assumed that a newly created file cannot have a time stamp dated in the future. This assumption is not true when files are served by a remote host whose clock is slightly in advance of ours. Fix the problems that I observed when running "make check" a couple of times on such a server. * tests/backup01.at: Use --warning=no-timestamp to suppress clock-skew warnings. * tests/chtype.at, tests/comprec.at, tests/exclude06.at: * tests/extrac01.at, tests/extrac03.at, tests/extrac05.at: * tests/extrac06.at, tests/extrac08.at, tests/extrac13.at: * tests/extrac14.at, tests/incr01.at, tests/incr03.at, tests/link01.at: * tests/multiv01.at, tests/multiv02.at, tests/multiv03.at: * tests/pipe.at, tests/rename02.at, tests/rename03.at: * tests/rename05.at, tests/same-order01.at, tests/same-order02.at: * tests/sparse01.at: Likewise. 2010-10-12 Paul Eggert gnulib: sync from latest gnulib, notably bootstrap and parse-datetime * bootstrap: Sync from gnulib. * doc/.gitignore: Rename getdate.texi to parse-datetime.texi. * doc/Makefile.am (tar_TEXINFOS): Likewise. * doc/tar.texi (Top): Adjust to renaming of getdate to parse-datetime. * gnulib.modules: Likewise. Also, remove ftruncate (now obsolete). And add inttostr (we missed this dependency). * src/tar.c: Include parse-datetime.h, not getdate.h. All calls to get_date replaced with parse_datetime. 2010-09-24 Paul Eggert tar: -x -C symlink fix * src/misc.c (chdir_do): Don't use O_NOFOLLOW when opening the argument to -C. This is for consistency with "tar -c -C FOO", and matches the new documentation. * tests/extrac14.at: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. 2010-09-24 Paul Eggert tar: --dereference consistency This closes another race condition, that occurs when overwriting a symlink with a regular file. * NEWS (--dereference consistency): New section. * doc/tar.texi (Option Summary): Describe new --deference behavior. (dereference): Likewise. Remove discussion that I didn't follow, even before --dereference was changed. * src/common.h (deref_stat, set_file_atime): Adjust signatures. * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Respect open_read_flags instead of rolling our own flags. This implements the new behavior for --dereference. (diff_file, diff_dumpdir): Likewise, for fstatat_flags. * src/create.c: Adjust to set_file_atime signature change. * src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir): Likewise. * src/incremen.c (try_purge_directory): Likewise. * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file): Likewise. * src/extract.c (file_newer_p): New arg STP. All callers changed. (maybe_recoverable): New arg REGULAR. All callers changed. Handle the case of overwriting a symlink with a regular file, when --overwrite is specified but --dereference is not. (open_output_file): Add O_CLOEXEC, O_NOCTTY, O_NONBLOCK for consistency with file creation. Add O_NOFOLLOW if overwriting_old_files && ! dereference_option. * src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Use fstat, not fstatat; there's less to go wrong. * src/misc.c (deref_stat): Remove DEREF arg. All callers changed. Instead, use fstatat_flags. (set_file_atime): Remove ATFLAG arg. All callers changed. Instead, use fstatat_flags. * src/names.c, src/update.c: Adjust to deref_stat signature change. * src/tar.c (get_date_or_file): Use stat, not deref_stat, as this is not a file to be archived. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac13.at. * tests/extrac13.at: New file. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. 2010-09-20 Paul Eggert tar: do not crash with --listed-incremental Problem reported by Frantisek Hanzlik in via Kamil Dudka in . I don't understand this code either, but Sergey can take a look at this patch, and perhaps install a better one, when he has the time. * src/incremen.c (append_incremental_renames): Don't actually append anything to DIR if DIR is null. 2010-09-19 Paul Eggert tar: prefer openat-style functions This change replaces traditional functions like 'open' with the POSIX.1-2008 functions like 'openat'. Mostly this is an internal refactoring change, in preparation for further changes to close some races. * gnulib.modules: Add faccessat, linkat, mkfifoat, renameat, symlinkat. Remove save-cwd. * src/Makefile.am (tar_LDADD): Add $(LIB_EACCESS). * tests/Makefile.am (LDADD): Likewise. * src/common.h (chdir_fd): New extern var. * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Use openat instead of open. * src/create.c (create_archive, restore_parent_fd): Likewise. * src/extract.c (create_placeholder_file): Likewise. * src/names.c (collect_and_sort_names): Likewise. * src/update.c (append_file): Likewise. * src/compare.c (diff_symlink): Use readlinkat instead of readlink. * src/compare.c (diff_file): Use chdir_fd instead of AT_FDCWD. * src/create.c (subfile_open, dump_file0): Likewise. * src/extract.c (fd_chmod, fd_chown, fd_stat, set_stat): (repair_delayed_set_stat, apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat): Likewise. * src/extract.c (mark_after_links, file_newer_p, extract_dir): (extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Use fstatat rather than stat or lstat. * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file, deref_stat): Likewise. * src/extract.c (make_directories): Use mkdirat rather than mkdir. Use faccessat rather than access. This fixes a minor permissions bug when tar is running setuid (who would want to do that?!). (open_output_file): Use openat rather than open. In the process, this removes support for Masscomp's O_CTG files, which aren't compatible with openat's signature. Masscomp! Wow! That's a blast from the past. As far as I know, that operating system hasn't been supported for more than 20 years. (extract_link, apply_delayed_links): Use linkat rather than link. (extract_symlink, apply_delayed_links): Use symlinkat rather than symlink. (extract_node): Use mknodat rather than mknod. (extract_fifo): Use mkfifoat rather than mkfifo. (apply_delayed_links): Use unlinkat rather than unlink or rmdir. * src/misc.c (safer_rmdir, remove_any_file): Likewise. * src/unlink.c (flush_deferred_unlinks): Likewise. * src/extract.c (rename_directory): Use renameat rather than rename. * src/misc.c (maybe_backup_file, undo_last_backup): Likewise. * src/misc.c: Don't include ; no longer needed now that we're using openat etc. (struct wd): Add member fd. Remove members err and fd. All uses changed. (CHDIR_CACHE_SIZE): New constant. (wdcache, wdcache_count, chdir_fd): New vars. (chdir_do): Use openat rather than save_cwd. Keep the cache up to date. This code won't scale well, but is good enough for now. * src/update.c (update_archive): Use openat + fdopendir + streamsavedir rather than savedir. This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it earlier. 2010-09-18 Paul Eggert tar: add utimens.h includes * src/extract.c: Include , needed for fdutimens prototype. * src/misc.c: Likewise. 2010-09-18 Paul Eggert tar: switch to gnulib fdutimensat module * gnulib.modules: Add fdutimensat. * src/common.h (fd_utimensat): Remove decl. * src/extract.c (set_stat): Call fdutimensat, not fd_utimensat. * src/misc.c (set_file_atime): Likewise. (fd_utimensat): Remove. 2010-09-17 Paul Eggert tar: extract permissions for . last * src/common.h (must_be_dot_or_slash): New decl. * src/extract.c (mark_after_links): New function, taking code that used to be in create_placeholder_file. (create_placeholder_file): Use it. (delay_set_stat): Always delay setting status for . and /. * src/misc.c (must_be_dot_or_slash): Now extern. * tests/extrac12.at: New file. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. 2010-09-17 Paul Eggert tar: don't check for getdtablesize; use AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE * configure.ac: Don't check for getdtablesize; no longer needed. Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE rather than AC_CHECK_FUNCS, for efficiency. 2010-09-17 Paul Eggert tar: extract symlink attributes, close some symlink-related races * NEWS: Describe symlink-extraction improvements. * src/extract.c (enum permstatus): Remove. (fchmod, fchown): Define dummy replacement macros if the system does not supply them. (implemented): New function. (struct delayed_set_stat): Remove members invert_permissions, permstatus. They were too confusing, and tried to do too much in too-little space. Instead, add members current_mode, current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag. All users changed. (struct delayed_link): Add members mode, atime, mtime, to support platforms such as BSD where symlinks have these attributes. All users changed. (fd_chmod): Renamed from fdchmod. New argument atflag. Check for operation not supported at run-time, not at configure-time. Put fd argument first. All callers changed. (fd_chown): Likewise, renaming from fdchown. (fd_stat): Likewise, renaming from fdstat. (set_mode): Remove args stat_info, cur_info, invert_permissions, permstatus. Add args mode, mode_mask, current_mode, current_mode_mask, atflag. All callers changed. Close some races. Use an easier-to understand method for computing permissions. Work around POSIX incompatibility in Linux fchmodat. Support extraction of symlink modes, if the OS allows it. (set_stat): Remove args cur_info, invert_permissions, permstatus. Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, interdir, atflag. All callers changed. Close some races. Support extraction of attributes on symlinks, if the OS allows it. (delay_set_stat): Remove args invert_permissions, permstatus. Add args current_mode, current_mode_mask, mode, atflag. The ST arg can be null now, indicating that it's an intermediate directory. All callers changed. (repair_delayed_set_stat, apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat): Close some races. (extract_dir): Also be paranoid if only --same-permissions, due to semantics of setgid and setuid directories on some hosts. This closes a race on those hosts. Simplify calculation of delay_set_stat arguments; the old code was truly strange and probably wrong in some border cases. (extract_dir, extract_file, extract_node, extract_fifo): Don't rely on unspecified behavior in mode arg of open, mknod, etc. Instead, mask out those bits when creating the file, and add them later via fchmod or chmodat. (open_output_file): file_name is now const. Add arg current_mode, current_mode_mask. All callers changed. When overwriting old files, refuse to overwrite something that is not a regular file, since we're extracting a regular file. (extract_file): Remove the FIXME comment. Whatever the protection issues were, they should be fixed now. As a result of all the other API changes, we now use fchmod etc. rather than chmod etc., closing some races. (create_placeholder_file, apply_delayed_links): Record desired mode and times for symlinks, for OSes that support that. 2010-09-16 Paul Eggert tar: tar -x without --incremental no longer sets atime again * src/extract.c (set_stat): Use UTIME_OMIT rather than UTIME_NOW. The UTIME_NOW was there only to emulate the previous behavior of using the current time, and the previous behavior was there only because before we started assuming POSIX.1-2008 there was no portable way to get the effect of UTIME_NOW. 2010-09-16 Paul Eggert tar: another --atime-preserve race fix * src/common.h (set_file_atime): Add parentfd arg. * src/compare.c (diff_file): Use it. * src/create.c (dump_file0): Likewise. This closes yet another race condition with symbolic links. * src/misc.c (set_file_atime): Add parentfd arg. 2010-09-16 Paul Eggert tar: --atime-preserve fixes for races etc. This patch fixes a race condition in the --atime-preserve=replace option, which might cause tar to improperly follow a symbolic link. It also drops the use of the _FIOSATIME ioctl of Solaris 2.x and later, which loses resolution on time stamps. Modern Solaris systems support full-resolution time stamps in the kernel, and it's not worth the hassle of testing this call, useful only in no-longer-supported Solaris variants. Also, it undoes a change I recently introduced to the --compare option, which caused it to not follow symbolic links unless the --dereference option was also used. Quite possibly this change is a good idea, but the old behavior was documented and the change should not have been installed casually. * configure.ac: Don't check for stropts.h and sys/filio.h. * gnulib.modules: Add futimens, utimensat. Remove futimens. * src/common.h (fd_utimensat): New decl. * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Don't use open_read_flags: those are for --create only. * src/create.c (dump_file0): Adjust to set_file_atime changes. Pass fstatat_flags to set_file_atime, so that symbolic links are not followed inadvertently. * src/extract.c: Don't include utimens.h. (set_stat): Use fd_utimensat ant UTIME_NOW rather than fdutimens. * src/misc.c: Don't include utimens.h, stropts.h, sys/filio.h. (fd_utimensat): New function. (set_file_atime): Use it. New arg atflag, controlling symlink handling. All callers changed. 2010-09-14 Paul Eggert * configure.ac: tar: close some race conditions when extracting * configure.ac: Check for fchmod and fchown. Don't check for utimes. * src/extract.c (fdchmod, fdchown, fdstat): New functions. (set_mode, set_stat): New arg FD. All callers changed. This avoids some race conditions between closing a regular file and setting its metadata, and it's a bit faster. 2010-09-13 Paul Eggert tar: don't worry about fdopendir closing its argument * NEWS: Don't mention dirfd; no longer needed. * gnulib.modules: Remove dirfd. * src/create.c (get_directory_entries): Remove the code dealing with dirfd failures, as the new fdopendir replacement doesn't close its argument so we don't need to call dirfd. See and gnulib commit 970c9038e4cca46e1b037ae0a6d574dfae6a7327. 2010-09-13 Paul Eggert * NEWS: Fix wording typo in previous change. Reported by Jim Meyering. 2010-09-13 Paul Eggert tar: live within system-supplied limits on file descriptors * NEWS: Note the change. Mention dirfd and fdopendir. * gnulib.modules: Add dirfd and fdopendir. The code was already using fdopendir; dirfd is a new need. * src/common.h (open_searchdir_flags, get_directory_entries): (subfile_open, restore_parent_fd, tar_stat_close): New decls. (check_exclusion_tags): Adjust signature to match code change. * src/create.c (IMPOSTOR_ERRNO): New constant. (check_exclusion_tags): First arg is now a struct tar_stat_info const *, not an fd. All callers changed. (dump_regular_file, dump_file0): A zero fd represents an unused slot, so play it safe if the fd member is zero here. A negative fd represents the negation of an errno value, so play it safe and do not assign -1 to fd merely because an open fails. (open_failure_recover, get_directory_entries, restore_parent_fd): (subfile_open): New functions. These help to recover from file descriptor exhaustion. (dump_dir, dump_file0): Use them. (dump_file0): Use tar_stat_close instead of rolling our own close. * src/incremen.c (scan_directory): Use get_directory_entries, subfile_open, etc., to recover from file descriptor exhaustion. * src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Likewise. (collect_and_sort_names): A negative fd represents the negation of an errno value, so play it safe and do not assign -1 to fd. * src/tar.c (decode_options): Set open_searchdir_flags. Add O_CLOEXEC to all the open flags. (tar_stat_close): New function, which knows how to deal with new convention for directory streams and file descriptors. Diagnose 'close' failures. (tar_stat_destroy): Use it. * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New member dirstream. fd now has the negative of an errno value, not merely -1, if the file could not be opened, so that failures to reopen directories are better-diagnosed later. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add extrac11.at. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. * tests/extrac11.at: New file. 2010-09-08 Paul Eggert tar: improve documentation of reliability and security issues * doc/tar.texi (Reliability and security, Reliability): (Permissions problems, Data corruption and repair, Race conditions): (Security, Privacy, Integrity, Live untrusted data): (Security rules of thumb): New nodes. 2010-09-06 Paul Eggert tar: more reliable directory traversal when creating archives * NEWS: Document this. * gnulib.modules: Add openat, readlinkat. * src/common.h (open_read_flags, fstatat_flags): New global variables. (cachedir_file_p, dump_file, check_exclusion_tags, scan_directory): Adjust to new signatures, described below. (name_fill_directory): Remove. * src/compare.c (diff_file, diff_multivol): Use open_read_flags. * src/create.c (struct exclusion_tag): Exclusion predicates now take a file descriptor, not a file name. (add_exclusion_tag): Likewise. All uses changed. (cachedir_file_p): Likewise. (check_exclusion_tags): The directory is now a file descriptor, not a file name. All uses changed. Use openat for better traversal. (file_dumpable_p): Arg is now a struct stat, not a struct tar_stat_info. All uses changed. Check the arg's file types too. (dump_dir0, dump_dir, dump_file0, dump_file): Omit top_level and parent_device args, since st->parent tells us that now. All uses changed. (dump_dir): Likewise. Also, omit fd arg for similar reasons. Apply fdsavedir to a dup of the file descriptor, since we need a file descriptor for openat etc. as well, and fdsavedir (perhaps unwisely) consumes its file descriptor when successful. Do not consume st->fd when successful; this simplifies the caller. (create_archive): Allocate a file descriptor when retraversing a directory, during incremental dumps. (dump_file0): Use fstatat, openat, and readlinkat for better traversal. When opening a file, use the result of fstat on the file descriptor rather than the fstatat on the directory entry, to avoid some race conditions. No need to reopen the directory since we now no longer close it. Change "did we open the file?" test from 0 <= fd to 0 < fd since fd == 0 now represents uninitialized. (dump_file): Now accepts struct tar_stat_info describing parent, not parent_device. Also, accept basename and fullname of entry. All uses changed. * src/incremen.c (update_parent_directory): Accept struct tar_stat_info for parent, not name. All callers changed. Use fstatat for safer directory traversal. (procdir): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not struct stat and dev_t, for info about directory. All callers changed. (scan_directory): Accept struct tar_stat_info, not name, device, and cmdline, for info about directory. All callers changed. Do not consume the file descriptor, since caller might need it. Use fstatat and openat for safer directory traversal; also, use fstat after opening to double-check. (name_fill_directory): Remove. * src/names.c (add_hierarchy_to_namelist): Accept struct tar_stat_info instead of device and cmdline. All callers changed. When descending into a subdirectory, use openat and fstat for safer directory traversal. (collect_and_sort_names): Use open and fstat for safer directory traversal. Set up struct tar_stat_info for callee's new API. * src/tar.c (decode_options): Initialize open_read_flags and fstatat_flags. (tar_stat_destroy): Close st->fd if it is positive (not zero!). * src/tar.h (struct tar_stat_info): New members parent, fd. * src/update.c (update_archive): Adjust to dump_file's API change. * tests/filerem02.at: Ignore stderr since its contents now depend on the file system implementation. 2010-09-05 Paul Eggert tar: remove lint discovered by Sun C compiler * src/common.h (WARN_ALL): Don't mask with 0xffffffff; on a 32-bit host, 0xffffffff is of type 'unsigned int', which makes WARN_ALL an unsigned int value that is too large to fit into an int, and the C standard says that this has undefined behavior. The mask is not needed, so omit it. 2010-09-04 Paul Eggert tar: restore macros that are used in some cases * src/tar.c (LOW_DENSITY_NUM, MID_DENSITY_NUM, HIGH_DENSITY_NUM): Restore these macros, undoing the previous change to this file. The macros are used after all, in some cases. Sorry about that. 2010-09-03 Paul Eggert tar: remove unused macros * src/create.c (UINTMAX_TO_CHARS): Remove; no longer used. * src/tar.c (LOW_DENSITY_NUM, MID_DENSITY_NUM, HIGH_DENSITY_NUM): Likewise. * src/incremen.c (DIR_IS_NEW): Comment out; not used. Mark this with a FIXME, since it looks like it should be used. 2010-08-27 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix --remove-files in update/append mode. * src/update.c (update_archive): Call finish_deferred_unlinks when done. 2010-08-26 Paul Eggert tar: avoid assumptions about root access and chmod -w in test cases * tests/extrac07.at, tests/extrac09.at, tests/listed03.at: Use AT_UNPRIVILEGED_PREREQ, since this test requires non-root privileges. * tests/extrac07.at: Don't use "chmod -w", as POSIX says it's not portable to start a chmod permissions-list with "-" as it may be confused with an option. Use "chmod a-w" instead. 2010-08-26 Paul Eggert tar: fix bug with -C and delayed setting of metadata * src/common.h (chdir_current): New decl. * src/extract.c (struct delayed_set_stat, struct delayed_link): New member change_dir. (delay_set_stat, create_placeholder_file): Set it. (apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat, apply_delayed_links): Use it. (extract_link): Check that the links are all relative to the same directory. (extract_archive): Restore the current directory after apply_nonancestor_delayed_set_stat has possibly changed it. * src/misc.c (chdir_current): New external var; this used to be the private static variable 'previous' inside chdir_dir. All uses changed. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): New test extrac10.at. * tests/extrac10.at: New file. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. 2010-08-25 Sergey Poznyakoff Don't apply file transformations to volume names. * src/list.c (decode_header): Don't apply file transformations to volume names. * tests/xform01.at: New testcase. * tests/xform-h.at (xform): Rename macro to xformtest. Use pushdef/popdef. * tests/Makefile.am, tests/testsuite.at: Add xform01.at 2010-08-25 Paul Eggert tar: optimize -c --sparse when file is entirely sparse * src/sparse.c (sparse_scan_file): If the file is entirely sparse, that is, if ST_NBLOCKS is zero, don't bother scanning for nonzero blocks. Idea by Kit Westneat, communicated by Bernd Schubert in . Also, omit unnecessary lseek at start of file. 2010-08-25 Paul Eggert tar: don't assume size of a sparse file chunk fits in size_t * src/tar.h (struct sp_array): Change numbytes from size_t to off_t. All uses changed. * scripts/xsparse.c (struct sp_array): Likewise. Include , for SIZE_MAX. (expand_sparse): Don't try to allocate a buffer bigger than SIZE_MAX bytes. * src/common.h (SIZE_TO_CHARS, size_to_chars, SIZE_FROM_HEADER): (size_from_header): Remove decls. * src/create.c (size_to_chars): Remove. * src/list.c (size_from_header): Remove. * src/sparse.c (sparse_extract_region, check_data_region): (oldgnu_add_sparse, oldgnu_store_sparse_info, pax_decode_header): Don't assume chunk sizes fit in size_t. (oldgnu_add_sparse): Check for off_t overflow. * src/xheader.c (sparse_numbytes_decoder, sparse_map_decoder): Likewise. 2010-08-25 Paul Eggert tar: use ctime, not mtime, when checking placeholders * src/extract.c (struct delayed_link): Rename member mtime to ctime. All uses changed to use ctime rather than mtime. 2010-08-24 Paul Eggert tar: add comment to link04.at test * tests/link04.at: Add explanatory comment at head. 2010-08-24 Paul Eggert tar: fix 1.23 Solaris regression related to PRIV_SYS_LINKDIR The idea was suggested by Petr Sumbera in the thread starting here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2010-08/msg00000.html * src/extract.c (set_mode): Save the errno of the chmod that failed, for the benefit of chmod_error_details. Do not bother retrying chmod unless the mode suggests setuid is the issue. (extract_archive): Remove redundant call to priv_set_remove_linkdir. * src/system.c: Include priv-set.h. (sys_spawn_shell, sys_child_open_for_compress): (sys_child_open_for_uncompress, sys_exec_command): (sys_exec_info_script, sys_exec_checkpoint_script): Invoke priv_set_restore_linkdir before execv or execlp, so that the subprocess has the same privileges that tar originally did. 2010-08-24 Paul Eggert tar: handle files that occur multiple times but have link count 1 This patch was inspired by the following patch that addressed a similar problem in GNU coreutils du: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;h=efe53cc72b599979ea292754ecfe8abf7c839d22 * src/common.h (name_count): New decl. * src/create.c (trivial_link_count): New static var. (create_archive): Initialize it. (dump_hard_link, file_count_links): Use it, so that files with link count 1 are handled correctly when they are found multiple times. * src/names.c (allocated_entries): Renamed from allocated_names, since the identifier's name was misleading. All uses changed. (entries): Renamed from names. All uses changed. (scanned): Renamed from name_index. All uses changed. (name_count): New var. (name_add_name): Increment it. * tests/link04.at: New file. * tests/testsuite.at: Add it. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Likewise. 2010-08-23 Paul Eggert tar: use nlink_t for link counts * src/create.c (struct link): nlink is now of type nlink_t, not size_t. 2010-08-23 Paul Eggert tar: don't export names that aren't used elsewhere * src/common.h (file_dumpable_p, gid_to_chars, major_to_chars): (minor_to_chars, mode_to_chars, uid_to_chars, uintmax_to_chars): (string_to_chars, dumpdir_creat0, dumpdir_create, dumpdir_free): (dumpdir_locate, dumpdir_next, dumpdir_first, gid_from_header): (major_from_header, minor_from_header, mode_from_header): (time_from_header, uid_from_header, quote_copy_string, request_stdin): (xheader_init, transform_header_name): Remove declarations; these are no longer exported from their modules. (GID_TO_CHARS, MAJOR_TO_CHARS, MINOR_TO_CHARS, MODE_TO_CHARS): (UID_TO_CHARS, UINTMAX_TO_CHARS, UNAME_TO_CHARS, GNAME_TO_CHARS): Move to src/create.c, since no other module uses these. (GID_FROM_HEADER, MAJOR_FROM_HEADER, MINOR_FROM_HEADER): (MODE_FROM_HEADER, TIME_FROM_HEADER, UID_FROM_HEADER): Move to src/extract.c, since no other module uses these. (dumpdir_t, dumpdir_iter_t): Remove; no longer used. * src/create.c (gid_to_chars, major_to_chars, minor_to_chars): (mode_to_chars, uid_to_chars, uintmax_to_chars, string_to_chars): (file_dumpable_p): Now static. * src/incremen.c (dumpdir_create0, dumpdir_create, dumpdir_free): (dumpdir_locate, dumpdir_next, dumpdir_first): Now static. (scan_directory, write_directory_file_entry): Use struct dumpdir_iter * rather than dumpdir_iter_t. * src/list.c (gid_from_header, major_from_header, minor_from_header): (mode_from_header, time_from_header, uid_from_header): (transform_member_name): Now static. * src/misc.c (quote_copy_string): #if 0 out, as it's not used anywhere. * src/system.c (wait_for_grandchild): Now static. * src/tar.c (request_stdin): Now static. * src/xheader.c (xheader_init): Now static. 2010-08-23 Paul Eggert tar: fix misspelled identifier "set_comression_program_by_suffix" * src/suffix.c (set_compression_program_by_suffix): Renamed from set_comression_program_by_suffix. * src/buffer.c, src/common.h, src/tar.c: All uses changed. 2010-08-20 Paul Eggert tar: change interdir_made from int to bool * src/extract.c (maybe_recoverable, create_placeholder_file): Change interdir_made from int * to bool *, since the flag has just two values 0 and 1. All uses changed. This does not affect tar's behavior. 2010-08-20 Paul Eggert tar: remove trailing white space from source files * ChangeLog.1, ChangeLog.CVS, Makefile.am, NEWS, README: * README-hacking, directory, doc/Makefile.am, doc/dumpdir.texi: * doc/gendocs_template, doc/intern.texi, doc/mastermenu.el: * doc/snapshot.texi, doc/sparse.texi, doc/tar-snapshot-edit.texi: * doc/value.texi, lib/Makefile.am, scripts/backup-specs: * scripts/dump-remind.in, scripts/tar-snapshot-edit, scripts/tarcat: * scripts/xsparse.c, src/arith.h, src/buffer.c, src/compare.c: * src/create.c, src/delete.c, src/exit.c, src/suffix.c, src/tar.c: * src/tar.h, src/update.c, src/warning.c, src/xheader.c: * tests/append01.at, tests/append02.at, tests/atlocal.in: * tests/delete03.at, tests/exclude.at, tests/exclude06.at: * tests/extrac04.at, tests/extrac05.at, tests/extrac06.at: * tests/extrac07.at, tests/filerem01.at, tests/filerem02.at: * tests/incr01.at, tests/incr02.at, tests/incr03.at, tests/incr06.at: * tests/label02.at, tests/label03.at, tests/label04.at: * tests/label05.at, tests/link02.at, tests/link03.at: * tests/listed01.at, tests/listed02.at, tests/long01.at: * tests/longv7.at, tests/multiv01.at, tests/multiv02.at: * tests/multiv03.at, tests/multiv05.at, tests/multiv06.at: * tests/multiv07.at, tests/multiv08.at, tests/options.at: * tests/options02.at, tests/remfiles03.at, tests/rename01.at: * tests/rename02.at, tests/rename03.at, tests/rename04.at: * tests/rename05.at, tests/same-order01.at, tests/same-order02.at: * tests/shortfile.at, tests/shortupd.at, tests/sparse01.at: * tests/sparse02.at, tests/sparsemv.at, tests/sparsemvp.at: * tests/star/README, tests/star/gtarfail2.at: * tests/star/multi-fail.at: * tests/star/pax-big-10g.at, tests/star/quicktest.sh: * tests/star/ustar-big-2g.at, tests/star/ustar-big-8g.at: * tests/update01.at, tests/update02.at, tests/volsize.at: * tests/volume.at: Remove trailing spaces and tabs from lines, and remove trailing empty lines from files. This makes it a bit easier to share code among coreutils and other projects that do this. 2010-08-19 Paul Eggert tar: update licenses to latest versions from www.gnu.org * COPYING: Update to latest version; this is just minor formatting. * doc/fdl.texi: Update from GFDL 1.2 to 1.3. * doc/tar.texi: Adjust to new format of fdl.texi. Omit trailing white space. 2010-07-18 Paul Eggert * src/misc.c (struct wd): Fix comment to match code. 2010-07-18 Paul R. Eggert tar: no need to report getcwd error if never using the result * src/misc.c (struct wd): Rename 'saved' to 'err', with new semantics. (chdir_arg, chdir_do): Adjust to new semantics. Do not report an error merely because save_cwd fails; report an error only if save_cwd's result is needed later. * tests/extrac09.at: New file, to test for bug that was fixed. * tests/testsuite.at: Include it. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add it. 2010-07-18 Paul R. Eggert tar: go back to absolutifying filenames in normalize_filename for now * src/misc.c (normalize_filename): For now, go back to making filenames absolute, even though this causes 'tar' to fail when getcwd fails. However, do not attempt to resolve ".." as this does not work with symlinks. Also, do the right thing with leading file system prefixes and on hosts where // != /. 2010-07-17 Sergey Poznyakoff Allow for size suffixes in -L and --record-size options. * src/tar.c (TAR_SIZE_SUFFIXES): New define. (parse_opt): Allow for size suffixes in arguments to -L and --record-size options. * NEWS, doc/tar.texi: Update. 2010-07-15 Paul R. Eggert tar: don't crash if getcwd fails * src/extract.c: Don't include xgetcwd.h. (extract_dir): stat "." rather than statting getcwd's output. * src/misc.c (normalize_filename_x): Rewrite so as not to resolve /../, which can't be done reliably in the presence of symlinks. Don't reject valid names such as ".". (normalize_filename): Don't make it absolute; that way, we don't have to invoke xgetcwd which might fail. Don't bother to realloc at the end, since that uses time and now saves little space. (chdir_do): Don't crash if xgetcwd fails. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add listed03.at. * tests/listed03.at: New file. * tests/testsuite.at: Include listed03.at. 2010-07-11 Sergey Poznyakoff Keep a detailed map of archive members stored in the record buffer. A separate map (bufmap) provides information for creating multi-volume continuation headers. * src/buffer.c (bufmap): New struct. (bufmap_head, bufmap_tail, inhibit_map): New variables.

Tar --remove-files relied on canonicalize_file_name, which replaces symlinks in file name components with the directories they point to. Due to this, tar effectively ignored existence of symbolic links and was unable to remove a directory that contained any (Alexander Kozlov , 2010-03-15). * gnulib.modules: Remove canonicalize. * src/misc.c (normalize_filename): Rewrite from scratch. The function operates only on its input string, it makes no attempt to test components for existence or to resolve symbolic links. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add remfiles03.at. * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise. * tests/remfiles03.at: New test case. * NEWS: Update. 2010-03-12 Sergey Poznyakoff Bugfixes. * src/buffer.c (check_label_pattern): Initialize result. * tests/remfiles01.at: Skip if run with root privileges. 2010-03-11 Sergey Poznyakoff Fix `--test-label' and `--label -r' behavior. * doc/tar.texi (Including a Label in the Archive): Revise the section. * NEWS: Update * src/buffer.c (open_archive): Check volume label on ACCESS_UPDATE as well. * src/list.c (test_archive_label): Rewrite to match the documentation. * src/names.c (regex_usage_warning): Return int.

Use byte offset instead. (dump_file0): Close fd before returning without dumping the directory. 2010-03-02 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor change. * doc/tar.texi: Improve some wording. 2010-03-02 Antonio Diaz Diaz Add Lzip support * configure.ac: Add TAR_COMPR_PROGRAM(lzip) * doc/tar.texi: Reflect lzip support. * src/buffer.c (compress_type) : New constant. (magic): Add magic for lzip. * src/suffix.c (compression_suffixes): Add lz. * src/tar.c: New option --lzip. 2010-03-02 Sergey Poznyakoff Minor fix. * tests/exclude05.at: Rewrite awk invocation to avoid overflowing awk's file table on Solaris. 2010-03-02 Eric Blake Fix large file support. * scripts/xsparse.c (read_map): Use fseeko. * src/incremen.c (write_directory_file): Likewise. 2010-03-02 Sergey Poznyakoff Bugfix * src/buffer.c (seek_archive): Rewrite size computation to prevent it from reaching negative values.

(read_header): Change type of the 3rd argument. * src/list.c (read_header): Change type of the 3rd argument. All callers updated. * src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Allow for volumes split at the extended/ustar header boundary.
