Wed Dec  6 16:04:39 UTC 2023 - Joshua Smith <jsmithfpv@gmail.com>

- 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
    headers.
  * Fix handling of out-of-range sparse entries in pax headers.
  * Fix handling of --transform='s/s/@/2'.
  * Fix treatment of options ending in slash in files-from list.
  * Fix crash on tar --checkpoint-action exec=\".
  * Fix low-memory crash when reading incremental dumps.
  * Fix --exclude-vcs-ignores memory allocation misuse.
- Added patch: 
  * add_forgotten-tests.patch: added 2 tests that upstream forgot in the release.

- No longer recommend -lang: supplements are in use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Mar 25 15:07:06 UTC 2019 - Kristýna Streitová <kstreitova@suse.com>

  tar-1.31-racy_compress_tests.patch that are no longer needed
  (applied usptream)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 15 13:47:43 UTC 2019 - Cristian Rodríguez <crrodriguez@opensuse.org>

- Remove libattr-devel from buildrequires, tar no longer uses 
  it but finds xattr functions in libc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb 14 12:20:29 UTC 2019 - kstreitova@suse.com

- update to version 1.31
  * Fix heap-buffer-overrun with --one-top-level, bug introduced
    with the addition of that option in 1.28
  * Support for zstd compression
  * New option '--zstd' instructs tar to use zstd as compression
    program. When listing, extractng and comparing, zstd compressed
    archives are recognized automatically. When '-a' option is in
    effect, zstd compression is selected if the destination archive
    name ends in '.zst' or '.tzst'.
  * The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the
    command line. Names of members to extract can be specified along
    with the "-K NAME" option. In this case, tar will extract NAME
    and those of named members that appear in the archive after it,
    which is consistent with the semantics of the option. Previous
    versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
    appeared before it, and everything after it.
  * Fix CVE-2018-20482 - When creating archives with the --sparse
    option, previous versions of tar would loop endlessly if a
    sparse file had been truncated while being archived.

Tue Dec 05 16:07:51 CET 2006 - mkoenig@suse.de

  Bugfixes:
  * Avoid running off file descriptors when using multiple -C options.

    modification times.
  New features:
  * New option --mtime allows to set modification times
  * New option --transform allows to transform file names before 
    storing
  * --strip-components option works when deleting and comparing.  
  * New option --show-transformed-names
  * Short option -l is now an alias of --check-links option, 
    which complies with UNIX98
  * The --checkpoint option takes an optional argument specifying 
    the number of records between the two successive checkpoints.
  * The --totals option can be used with any tar operation
  * Any number of -T (--files-from) options may be used in the 
    command line.
  * List files containing null-separated file names are detected 
    and processed automatically.
  * New option --no-unquote disables the unquoting of input file 
    names.
  * New option --test-label tests the archive volume label.
  * New option --show-stored-names.
  * New option --to-command pipes the contents of archive members 
    to the specified command.
  * New option --atime-preserve=system
  * New option --delay-directory-restore
  * New option --restrict prohibits use of some potentially harmful 
    tar options.
  * New options --quoting-style and --quote-chars control the way 
    tar quotes member names on output.
  * Better support for full-resolution time stamps.
  Incompatible changes:
  * tar no longer uses globbing by default

Tue Dec 21 18:23:54 CET 2004 - mmj@suse.de

- Update to 1.15.1 which fixes a bug introduced in 1.15 which caused
  tar to refuse to extract files from standard input.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec 21 13:33:31 CET 2004 - mmj@suse.de

- Update to tar-1.15 including:
- Features:
  o Compressed archives are recognised automatically, it is no
    longer necessary to specify -Z, -z, or -j options to read
    them.  Thus, you can now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.
  o When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
    prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
    from being purged. With the previous versions of tar it was
    dangerous to create incremental dumps with --one-file-system
    option, since they would recursively remove mount points when
    restoring from the back up. This change fixes the bug.
  o Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
    the GNU convention.
  o Skipping archive members is sped up if the archive media supports
    seeks.
  o Restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a)
    option, or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.
  o `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
    the file names had their prefixes stripped off.
  o New option --exclude-caches instructs tar to exclude cache
    directories automatically on archive creation. Cache directories
    are those containing a standardized tag file, as specified at:
    http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html	
  o New configure option --with-rmt allows to specify full path
    name to the `rmt' utility. This supercedes DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND
    variable introduced in version 1.14
  o New configure variable DEFAULT_RMT_DIR allows to specify the
    directory where to install `rmt' utility. This is necessary
    since modifying --libexecdir as was suggested for version 1.14
    produced a side effect: it also modified installation prefix
    for backup scripts (if --enable-backup-scripts was given).

- Bugfixes:
  o Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
  o Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option.
  o GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than
    100 characters.  Do not allow multivolume archives to begin
    with such filenames.
  o If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
    previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
    were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
    lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
    extracted copy in such cases.
  o Restore script was passing improper argument to tar --listed
    option (which didn't affect the functionality, but was
    logically incorrect).
  o Fixed verification of created archives.
  o Fixed unquoting of file names containing backslash escapes (previous
    versions failed to recognize \a and \v).
  o When attempting to delete a non-existing member from the
    archive, previous versions of tar used to overwrite last
    archive block with zeroes.
