GNU implementation of tar ((t)ape (ar)chiver)

Edit Package tar

This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides
remote tape drive control. Since there are compatible versions of 'rmt'
in either the 'star' package or the 'dump' package, we didn't put 'rmt'
into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features
provided by tar you have to also install the 'dump' or the 'star'
package.

- GNU tar 1.34:
  * Fail when building GNU tar if the platform supports 64-bit
    time_t but the build only uses 32-bit time_t.
  * Leave the devmajor and devminor fields empty (rather than
    zero) for non-special files, as this is more compatible with
    traditional tar.
  Fixes:
  * Fix interaction of --update with --wildcards.
  * When extracting archives into an empty directory, do not create
    hard links to files outside that directory.
  * Handle partial reads from regular files.
  * Warn file changed as we read it less often. Formerly, tar
    warned if the file's size or ctime changed. However, this
    generated a false positive if tar read a file while another
    process hard-linked to it, changing its ctime. Now, tar warns
    if the file's size, mtime, user ID, group ID, or mode changes.
    Although neither heuristic is perfect, the new one should work
    better in practice.
  * Fix --ignore-failed-read to ignore file-changed read errors
    as far as exit status is concerned. You can now suppress
    file-changed issues entirely with --ignore-failed-read
    --warning=no-file-changed.
  * Fix --remove-files to not remove a file that changed while we
    read it.
  * Fix --atime-preserve=replace to not fail if there was no need
    to replace, either because we did not read the file, or the
    atime did not change.
  * Fix race when creating a parent directory while another process
    is also doing so.
  * Fix handling of prefix keywords not followed by "." in pax
