----- ChangeLog -----

1997-04-25  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Release 1.12.

        * configure.in: Check for the inline keyword.

1997-04-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.am (BABYL): Delete admin/RMAIL, renamed rmail/announce.

        * PORTS: New file.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Adjusted.

1997-04-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Adjusted.

        * configure.in (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Call deleted.  AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
        takes care of this already.

1997-04-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11q.

        * configure.in: Use gethostent instead of gethostbyname while
        checking for -lnsl.  It seems SINIX systems require this.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-04-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * acinclude.m4: New fp_WITH_INCLUDED_MALLOC macro.

        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-04-17  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11p.

        * acinclude.m4 (cl_FUNC_GMALLOC): New macro, yet still unused, as
        it requires config.guess.  I have to think more about this.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-04-16  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * AC-PATCHES: Patches for Autoconf 2.12.

        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1997-04-12  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Add fnmatch.o to LIBOBJS if AC_FUNC_FNMATCH
        says no working copy was found.  This is not done automatically.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Bryant Fujimoto, John David Anglin,
        Kaveh R. Ghazi, Laurent Caillat-Vallet, Sakai Kiyotaka and
        Santiago Vila Doncel.

        * configure.in: Do not check for gettimeofday anymore.

        * configure.in: Do not anymore blindly add -lnsl if gethostname
        is found, nor -lsocket if setsockopt is found.  Instead, for
        resolving setsockopt, try none, -lsocket, and -lsocket -lnsl,
        in that order.  For resoving gethostbyname, try none, than -lnsl.
        Reported by Ariel Faigon, Heiko Schlichting, Jean-Philippe
        Martin-Flatin, John J. Szetela, John R. Vanderpool, Kaveh
        R. Ghazi, Larry Schwimmer, Marcus Daniels, Mark Bynum and
        Russell Cattelan.

1997-04-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        in AC_OUTPUT, leave it to Automake.
        * acinclude.m4: Replaced whole, from elsewhere.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Leave README-alpha to Automake.

1997-02-12  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

1995-12-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Prefer avoiding union wait, and use it only if
        using int fails.  This turns around the previous test, as directly
        checking for union wait is seemingly seeking for trouble.
        Reported by Alan Bawden, Chris Arthur, Coranth Gryphon,
        Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin, Robert Bernstein and Tarang Kumar

        Innis Bushnell, Robert Bernstein, Santiago Vila Doncel, Skip
        Montanaro and Thomas Krebs.

        * configure.in: Be more systematic at caching test results.
        Reported by Ulrich Drepper.

        * configure.in: While checking for remote tape header files, only
        include <sgtty.h> if it was found to exist.

1995-11-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_STPCPY for the time being.  I do not
        understand yet why this is mandatory: it should be automatic
        from AC_CHECK_FUNCS(stpcpy) in aclocal.m4, through autoheader.

        * configure.in: Use fp_FUNC_FNMATCH, to get around non-working
        versions on SCO Unix 3.2v4.2, and Solaris.

        Westerik, Robert Weiner and Tom Tromey.

1995-10-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Reported by Bela Lubkin and Rodney Brown.

1995-07-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Adapt for GNU gettext 0.8.

1995-07-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in (default): Define to all.

1995-06-18  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: For mknod, also include <sys/types.h> prior to
        <sys/stat.h>, as Ultrix needs this.
        Reported by Bruce Jerrick, Bryant Fujimoto, Conrad Hughes, Erich
        Stefan Boleyn, Jason R. Mastaler, Joshua R. Poulson, Jurgen Botz,
        Serge Granik, Simon Wright, Ulrich Drepper and Vince Del Vecchio.

        * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_MKNOD.
        * configure.in: Test for mknod only once <sys/stat.h> included.
        Reported by Alan Modra, Ray Dassen and Ulrich Drepper.

        * aclocal.m4: Test for re_rx_search instead of rx_compile, the
        latter not being exported unless RX_WANT_RX_DEFS is defined.
        Reported by Alan Modra.

1995-06-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in (dist): Do not hide copying rule.

1994-08-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Replace AC_SYS_REMOTE_TAPE by its definition,
        distillating it around.  It is going out of Autoconf.
        Do not backslash quotes anymore while defining unquoted, this is
        now corrected in Autoconf.

1994-08-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Do not define RTAPELIB nor HAVE_RTAPELIB.

1994-08-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Little cleanup in installation:
        * configure.in: Do not check for wait3, this function is not used.
        * Makefile.in: Remove useless RSH substitutions.

        * configure.in: Use `-g -O' instead of `-g' as CFLAGS default
        value, when GNU C is being used.  Delay testing for presets.
        Reported by Chris Arthur.

1994-08-21  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.5.

        * Makefile.in (BACKLOG, dist, shar): Correct for when a different
        build directory.

        * configure.in: Check for union wait.  Adapted from make 3.71.

        * configure.in: Replace both mkdir and rmdir, not just mkdir,
        because NS32016 running SysVr2.2 has mkdir and lacks rmdir.
        Reported by Greg Black.

        * configure.in: Do not try anymore to discover the archive device
        by looking around for various device names.  If the installer does
        not override it, nicely use `-' as a convenient default.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1994-08-20  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Correct a checking message.

        * configure.in: Replace AC_PROG_RSH with its expansion.  Correct
        the no/true confusion in tests.  Do not substitute RSH anymore in
        src/Makefile, instead define REMOTE_SHELL in config.h.  Replace
        NO_REMOTE by HAVE_RTAPELIB, with inverted meaning.  Substitute
        RTAPELIB by $Urtapelib.o instead of rtapelib.o.
        * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_RTAPELIB and REMOTE_SHELL.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * configure.in: Checking for remote shell, use the RSH environment
        variable if set.  This is done only when not already in the cache.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * configure.in: Include <sys/types.h> when testing <utime.h>.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * configure.in: Also create doc/Makefile.
        * Makefile.in: Add doc in subdirs, set infodir, update MDEFINES.

1994-08-16  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Undo the `test -b' patch of 1994-08-05.  Ultrix
        4.2 test does not know about -b.  Grrr...
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * configure.in: Check for <sys/gentape.h>, HAVE_SYS_GENTAPE_H
        is tested in rmt.c.  Check for <sys/tape.h>, to avoid playing
        with M_UNIX anymore in rmt.c.
        Reported by Daniel R. Guilderson and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * configure.in: Use proper function names in AC_CHECK_LIB's.
        Reported by Alexander Dupuy and Kurt Jaeger.

1994-08-14  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Decide MTIO_CHECK_FIELD by grepping <sys/mtio.h>.
        * acconfig.h: Document it.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander.

        * Makefile.in: Substitute CC, INSTALL, INSTALL_PROGRAM,
        INSTALL_DATA, RSH, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS, prefix, exec_prefix,
        binprefix, bindir and libexecdir.
        (MDEFINES): New, using the previous substitutions.
        (all, install, uninstall): Use it.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1994-08-13  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>.

1994-08-11  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: For <utime.h>, also ensure struct utimbuf is
        defined by the header file before defining HAVE_UTIME_H.  Some
        systems will not define the structure without _POSIX_SOURCE.
        * acconfig.h: Document HAVE_UTIME_H.
        Reported by James W. McKelvey and Robert E. Brown.

        * configure.in: Instead of replacing strstr, check for it, so
        HAVE_STRSTR gets defined, then replace it explicitely if required.

1994-08-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Updated for Autoconf 2.0.

1994-08-08  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi (for memset and strstr).
        Reported by Bruno Haible (for mkdir and rename).

1994-08-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Remove padding test.
        * acconfig.h: Remove PADDING_IN_TAR_HEADER.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * configure.in: While defining DEFAULT_ARCHIVE, check for a block
        device, instead of mere existence.  But is `test -b' portable?
        Test for /dev/fd0, instead of for /dev/fd.  Put rct tests last.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * configure.in: Define uid_t and gid_t if necessary.
        Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.

1994-07-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: When --with-malloc-dbg, define WITH_MALLOC_DBG and
        add -lmalloc_dbg to LIBS.
        * acconfig.h: Document WITH_MALLOC_DBG.

        * configure.in: Try deciding DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER from
        the selected DEFAULT_ARCHIVE.
        * acconfig.h: Document DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER.
        Reported by Danny R. Johnston.

1994-07-29  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * aclocal.m4: Adapt AC_PROTOTYPES to caching.

        * Using configure as generated by a more recent Autoconf solves a
        problem of rename being rejected on HP-UX in ANSI mode, because of
        a conflicting prototype from <stdio.h>.  In this context, Autoconf
        now uses ctype.c instead for defining __stub macros.
        Reported by Alan Modra, Burkhard Plache, Edward Welbourne,
        Henrik Bakman, Jeffrey Goldberg, Jim Farrell, Kimmy Posey,
        Michael Maass, Mike Nolan, Richard Lloyd, Robert McGraw,
        Robert W. Kim, Stefan Skoglund, Tarang Kumar Patel, Tilman
        Schmidt, Tim Ramsey, Van Snyder and W. Phillip Moore.

1994-07-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Check for <fcntl.h>.  Do not define BSD42, do
        not look anymore if /vmunix, /sdmach or /../../mach exist.
        * acconfig.h: Remove BSD42.

1994-07-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Add gmalloc.o to LIBOBJS, instead of AC_SUBST'ing
        MALLOC.  Check for valloc only if gmalloc.o is not being selected.
        valloc was possibly defined both in "port.h" and GNU malloc.
        * acconfig.h: Add a description for HAVE_VALLOC.
        J.T. Conklin, Nelson H.F. Beebe and Tilman Schmidt.

1994-07-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Use provided fnmatch only as a replacement.

        problems reported by users.
        Reported by Chris Hopps and John David Anglin.

1994-07-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Check for <utime.h>.

1994-07-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in:  Substitute DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING
        from the environment.  Check for /dev/tape first while trying to
        decide the default archive, because it is often symlinked right.
        * acconfig.h: Explain DEFAULT_ARCHIVE and DEFAULT_BLOCKING.

        * configure.in: Use AC_SET_MAKE.
        * Makefile.in: Use @SET_MAKE@.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

        * configure.in: Integrate the check, previously in testpad.c,
        about a needed padding field in the tar header struct.

1994-07-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Check for -linet, this library is required on
        a few systems for gettimeofday() or getservbyname().  Also, on ISC
        4.0, this avoids a broken version of rename().
        Reported by Dean Gaudet, Goeran Uddeborg, Mike Rogers and
        Peder Chr. Norgaard.

        * configure.in: Ensure -lsocket is tested after -lnsl.  This is
        required in particular for SINIX-Z, an SVR4.0 system.
        Reported by Manfred Weichel and Mark Frost.

        * configure.in: All tests reordered for clarity.

1994-07-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: Use AC_TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME, test for <sys/time.h>.
        This should solve the problem of multiple inclusions of <time.h>.
        Also, also check for <sys/timeb.h>, for getdate.y tests this.
        Reported by Jim Meyering, John Rouillard, Karl Berry and Rick
        Emerson.

1994-06-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * configure.in: AC_CONST was already added since 1.11.2, but no
        ChangeLog entry for it, so here is one, with list of reporters.
        * AIX 3.2 RS/6000 IBM's compiler was unable to compile regex.c,
        this might be solved already through improved Autoconf tests.

        Reported by Alexey Vovenko, Ben A. Mesander, Bryant
        Fujimoto, Christian. T. Dum, Christopher Vickery, Dan Bloch,
        David K. Drum, David Lemson, Demizu Noritoshi, Dimitris

        R. Scott Butler, Rob Parry, Ron Guilmette, Scott Grosch,
        Sherwood and Stephen Saroff.

        * Makefile.in: Completely replaced, lurking at the previous one.
        At the same time, solve a few minor problems reported by users.
        The most frequently reported ones pertained to a trailing \ in a
        comment, and rmt installing in /etc.
        Reported by Dean Gaudet, Gerben Wierda, James W. McKelvey,
        John L. Chmielewski, Karl Berry, Mike Rogers, Ralf Suckow and
        Richard Lloyd.

        * configure.in: Also process lib/Makefile.in and src/Makefile.in.
        Substitute CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and YFLAGS from the environment.
        Use AC_CHECKING instead of using echo explicitely.
        Use AC_HEADER_CHECK(unistd.h) instead of obsolete AC_UNISTD_H.

        * configure.in: Generate a configuration header file.  This not
        only puts less clutter in make output, but also goes around some
        compilers' limits about the number of allowed -D options.
        Reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe.

        * acconfig.h: New file.

        * Split distribution into a few subdirectories, for easing
        maintainance.  So far: src, lib, scripts, msdos which are to be
        distributed; then rmail, texinfo, ARCH and misc to be kept here.
        * scripts/ChangeLog: Initialized by moving entries related to
        scripts out of this ChangeLog.

        * Taking over maintenance duties.

        * dump-remind: Send mail notification to the original recipients
        that the dump has been continued when that is the case.

1993-03-31  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Put logfile in `log' subdirectory.

1993-03-28  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * dump-remind (volno): Don't increment by one.

1993-03-25  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use `--block-size', not just
        `--block', which is now ambiguous.

1993-03-24  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * backup-specs (TAR): New variable.

        * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Get path of GNU tar from `TAR'
        variable, don't hardcode it.

1993-03-20  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): put backslashes in front of nested
        double quotes.

        * level-0, level-1 (BACKUP_DIRS): Don't put in quotes.
        (LOGFILE): Use sed to construct name, not awk.

        * dump-remind (recipients): Replaced inefficient pipeline with a
        single, simple sed script.
        (volno): Deal with the possibility that VOLNO_FILE may not be
        created yet.

1993-03-19  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * backup-specs (VOLNO_FILE): Removed abusive comment by Noah.

1993-03-18  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (AUX): Include `dump-remind' in distribution.

        * backup-specs (SLEEP_MESSAGE): New variable.
        level-0, level-1: Use it instead of external `dont_touch' file.

        * level-0, level-1: Put most of the script in () and pipe
        everything from the subshell through tee -a $LOGFILE.  Since you
        really want most of the output to go to the logfile anyway, and
        since all those pipelines were preventing one from getting the
        exit status of most commands, this seems like the right idea.

        * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Use YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format
        for log file name, since that makes the file names sortable in a
        coherent way.  Suffix should always be `level-n' where n is the
        dump level.  level-0 script was just using `-full' instead.

        * level-0, level-1 (DUMP_LEVEL): New variable.  Set to `0' or `1'
        in each script as appropriate.

        * level-0, level-1 (HOST): Renamed to `localhost' for clarity.
        (host): renamed to `remotehost' for clarity.

        * level-0, level-1 (startdate): New variable.  Use it in Subject
        line of mailed report.

        * level-0, level-1: Fixed all instances where sed is called with a
        script on the command line to use `-e' option.

        * level-0, level-1: Don't try to call logfile.sed to filter
        LOGFILE.  It's not distributed with tar and was never really used
        anyway.

        * level-0, level-1: Put quotes around most variable names (barring
        those that are known to intentionally contain text that should be
        expanded into multiple words, like `TAR_PART1').

        * level-0, level-1: Got rid of annoying trailing backslashes in awk
        scripts.  They were gratuitous.  Made them a little more readable
        by adding some whitespace.

1992-10-21  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1: put curly braces around variables for clarity.

        * backup-specs (DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT): define it (but commented out
        so that distributed dump scripts won't use it by default).
        level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): use --info-script if
        DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT is defined.
        dump-remind: new file (intended as an example).

1992-10-15  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1: remove $LOGFILE.tmp files before exiting.

1992-09-24  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): remove --atime-preserve
        because of a total screw.

1992-09-10  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): put --atime-preserve inside quotes.

1992-09-09  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1 (TAR_PART1): Use --atime-preserve.

1992-07-10  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0, level-1: Avoid silly Sun awk lossage.

1992-04-30  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-1: Added `$' before VOLNO_FILE in definition of TAR_PART1.
        Added line to remove $VOLNO_FILE from any previous dump before
        starting.

        * level-0, level-1: Change long options to use `--' instead of `+'
        (support for `+' will go away soon)

1991-10-17  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0: Repair damage from previous mod: stdin to rsh must
        be the terminal or tar's questions lose.

1991-08-31  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * level-0: Fixed several syntax errors associated with
        stdout/stderr redirection.
        Made sure remote host executes commands from sh where redirection
        is necessary, since root's shell might be csh in some places and
        the redirect syntax differs.

1991-07-01  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Fix a misplaced quote in level-0 and change some >& into
        2>&1.

        Reported by Bruno Haible and Ken Steube.

1997-04-16  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * arith.h: Prefer a single long over a long long, if possible.
        Also reject long long if it is not long enough :-).
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-04-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c, tar.c, update.c, common.h: Replace _COMMAND suffixed
        constants by _SUBCOMMAND suffixed.  Rename enum command by

        set_main_command_option by set_subcommand_option.

        * create.c (dump_file): Remove badperror label, call WARN
        explicitly at the two other needed places instead.  Remove
        badfile label, expand the proper code at the three other
        needed places instead.  Delete the critical_error flag, just
        set exit_status to TAREXIT_FAILURE rather than setting this flag.

1997-04-12  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * delete.c (move_archive): Declare it void.
        Reported by Bruno Haible and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * Prerelease 1.11o.

        * Makefile.am: Duplicate rules for the ansi2knr case.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and Marcus Daniels.

1997-04-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * common.h: Change mode_option from int to struct mode_change *.
        * tar.c (decode_option): Use mode_compile.
        * create.c (start_header): Use mode_adjust.

1997-04-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * All: Replace all flag_ prefixed variables by _option suffixed.
        * tar.c: Replace OPTION_ prefixed macros by _OPTION suffixed.

        * buffer.c, tar.c, update.c, common.h: Replace COMMAND_ prefixed
        macros by _COMMAND suffixed, COMMAND_NONE by UNKNOWN_COMMAND,
        and delete TOO_MANY_COMMAND.  Turn these into an enum and declare
        main_command_option of this enum type, to replace command_mode,
        which was an int, everywhere.
        * tar.c (decode_options): Initialise main_command_option.
        (set_main_command_option): New function to replace
        SET_COMMAND_MODE.  Diagnostic ambiguous command as soon as seen.
        However, be forgiving if command has merely been repeated.

        * buffer.c, tar.c, common.h: Have info_script_option be at the
        same time a flag and the option value, no need for a separate
        info_script variable.  Rename rsh_command to rsh_command_option,
        tape_length to tape_length_option, compress_program to
        use_compress_program_option, volno_file to volno_file_option.
        * tar.c (set_use_compress_program_option): New function.

        * buffer.c, names.c, tar.c, common.h: Have files_from_option
        be at the same time a flag and the option value, no need for
        a separate namefile_name variable.

        * buffer.c, create.c, tar.c, commun.h: Rename volume_label to
        volume_label_option.

        * incremen.c, tar.c, common.h: Rename gnu_dumpfile to
        listed_incremental_option.  Let it unitialised for just incremental.
        * create.c (create_archive): No need to check both
        incremental_option and listed_incremental_option, as the later
        implies the former already.

        * create.c, tar.c, common.h: Rename preset_owner to owner_option,
        preset_group to group_option and preset_mode to mode_option.

        * create.c, incremen.c, list.c, tar.c, commun.h: Have
        after_date_option be a Boolean instead of a three-valued flag.
        Rename threshold_time to newer_mdate_option, which may be looked
        at without checking after_date_option first, as threshold_time
        before.  Make newer_cdate_option an alias for newer_mdate_option.

1997-04-08  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c: Use int after extern to declare time_to_start_writing.
        * extract.c: Use int after static to declare we_are_root.
        Reported by Ariel Faigon.

1997-04-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * list.c (read_and): Use the proper enum constants in switch,
        instead of oldish and wrong numbers.
        Reported by Martin Mares.

1997-04-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * arith.c [SUPERDIGIT] (zerop_tarlong, lessp_tarlong,
        clear_tarlong, add_to_tarlong, add_to_tarlong, mult_tarlong,
        print_tarlong): Rename all functions by adding a _helper suffix.
        * arith.h [SUPERDIGIT]: Replace function prototypes by macros,
        each calling the function with _helper appended, and extracting
        pointers out of the tarlong structures.
        Reported by Andrew A. Ivanov and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress): Copy all records coming out
        of the compressor, not only the last one.
        Reported by Alois Steindl, Mark Bynum, Martin Mares, Nelson
        H. F. Beebe, Scott J. Kramer and Torkel Hasle.

1997-03-29  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c (dump_file): Ignore unreadable directories when
        --ignore-failed-read.
        Reported by Ralph Schleicher.

        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Chain the last partial zero block
        with the preceding data, do not try sparing it.  This correction
        is approximative, as the whole thing should be rethought.
        Reported by Andreas Degert.

1997-03-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * All: Rename head to current_header, hstat to current_stat, and
        header_format to current_format.
        * update.c (update_archive): Rename nstat to stat_data.
        * create.c: Do not extern hstat, as common.h does it.
        (deal_with_sparse): Get rid of amidst_data, since numbytes is
        already usable as a flag for the same thing.

1997-03-21  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * names.c (name_gather): Do not declare static variables which
        do not need to be.  Have allocated_length represent the full
        allocated length, instead of only the name part.  It's clearer.
        (addname): Similar cleanups.

1997-03-20  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * compare.c: Always call report_difference when there is a
        problem, so the exit status will be set in all cases.  Build the
        message string if necessary, so avoiding stdargs/varargs.
        (report_difference): If NULL argument, just set the exit status
        without reporting a message.  Move out the word `differs'
        in all callers, do not insert into an English message.
        (read_and_process): Return void, as the int result is never used.
        Assume processors returns nonzero for success and zero for
        failure, instead of 0 for success and -1 for error.
        (process_rawdata, process_dumpdir): Adjusted.

        * compare.c: Remove different as a global variable, it is useless.
        (diff_sparse_files): Make different a local variable, reinitialise
        it on each call.  Otherwise, after any error elsewhere, all sparse
        files were always and falsely reported as erroneous.
        Reported by James E. Carpenter and Tim Towers.

1997-02-25  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c: Adjust copyright years in --version output.

        * create.c (dump_file): Allow saving directories even with -o.
        Reported by Daniel Trinkle.

1996-11-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * compare.c (verify_volume) [FDFLUSH]: Use fsync even in that case.
        Reported by Marty Leisner.

1996-11-25  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Write file name in two words.
        * names.c (name_next): Idem.
        * buffer.c (flush_read): Speak of record size instead of blocksize.
        Reported by Christian Kirsch.

1996-11-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * list.c (read_header): Return failure, instead of success,
        whenever checksums do not match.
        Reported by Marc Boucher and Marty Leisner.

        * incremen.c (get_directory_contents): Use stat_data instead of
        current_header for checking normal files.  Otherwise, new or
        modified files in old directories were not dumped, that is, if a
        directory was older than the listed entry, it was skipped
        completely without checking the contained files.
        Reported by David Johnson, John David Anglin and Wolfram Wagner.

        * buffer.c (open_archive): When updating the archive, initialize
        the access variable with reading mode, not update mode.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * delete.c (junk_archive): Initially jump directly into the loop,
        so deleting a file after a big one will not destroying the archive.
        Reported by Akiko Matsushita, Andreas Schwab, Eric Backus, Jeff
        Siegel, Saul Lubkin, Stuart Kemp and Yasushi Suzudo.

1996-11-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * incremen.c (get_directory_contents): Compute distance using the
        start of the proper buffer.
        Reported by David Johnson, Donald H. Locker, John David Anglin,
        Marc Boucher and Noah Friedman.

        * tar.c (usage): Revise the mandatory/optional sentence again.
        Reported by Karl Berry.

1996-11-18  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.14.

        * tar.c (usage): Explain the purpose of the program.

        * tar.c (usage): Clarify the mandatory/optional sentence.
        Reported by Alex Schmidt.

        * system.h [HAVE_SYS_TAPE_H]: Include sys/buf.h if it exists, to
        avoid many warnings on BSD/OS.
        Reported by Dan Reish.

1996-11-11  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * incremen.c (write_directory_file): Renamed from write_dir_file.
        (get_directory_contents): Renamed from get_dir_contents.
        * common.h: Adjusted.

        * all: Cleanup around local variables, renaming them more
        appropriately, using initializers when natural, and moving them
        closer to the blocks where they are used.

        A bit of reorganisation in the sources:
        * common.h: New file, for holding all GNU tar specific definitions,
        which were previously held in tar.h.
        * tar.h: Now limited to the archive format description only.
        * all: Include common.h instead of tar.h.
        * delete.c: New file, holding delete code out of update.c.
        * update.c: Now limited to appending type of commands.
        * compare.c: New name for diffarch.c.
        * incremen.c: New name for increm.c.
        * names.c: Moved over all name processing from tar.c.
        * tar.c, common.h: Adjusted.
        * Makefile.am: Adjusted.

        * create.c, diffarch.c, increm.c: Remove similar definitions.

        * tar.c: Merge --version-control into --backup, make it obsolete.

1996-11-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * all: Add a FIXME comment everywhere errno is modified by tar.

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Return nonzero/zero for success/failure,
        instead of zero/negative.  Callers adjusted.  Use xstrdup on
        file name given by user with the answer "n", so avoiding the
        apparently useless allocation of one extra byte.  Avoid using p.

        * buffer.c: Add DEBUG_FORK conditional code.
        Reported by Thomas König and Ulrich Drepper.

        * misc.c (maybe_backup_file): In the renaming message, say that
        the previous file is being renamed, not the newly extracted one.

        * buffer.c (backspace_output): Change return type to void, since
        returned values were never used.
        * update.c (move_arch): Idem.
        (xdup2): New name for redirect, order of arguments was not natural.

1996-11-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * all: Remove all white lines between open braces and comments.

        * tar.h: Declare access_mode as an enum and as a variable.
        Adjust declaration of open_archive.
        * buffer.c: (open_archive, new_volume): Use access instead of
        reading.  Callers adjusted for using enum access_mode arguments.
        (flush_archive, close_archive): Use access_mode, and cleanup.
        * diffarch.c (verify_volume): Use access_mode.

        * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress, child_open_for_uncompress):
        Split of previous child_open_for_compress.  Clean up.
        (open_archive): Adjusted for calling the proper function above.

        * Prerelease 1.11.13.

        * tar.c (usage): Do not tie --posix anymore to 1.12.

        * extract.c (set_stat): Until we know better, for the time being,
        limit restoring symbolic link attributes to lchown only.

        * all: Mini clean up.  Systematically set logical variables to
        one instead of auto-incrementing them (PDP-11 time is over by
        now! :-).  Replace some single letter counters or cursors by
        variables named counter or cursor.  Simplify a few C constructs.

        * buffer.c, tar.h: Delete read_error_flag, set but never used.
        Rename r_error_count to read_error_count.

        * create.c (clear_buffer): Use memset instead of explicit loop.
        (zero_block_p): Renamed from zero_block, callers adjusted.

1996-11-07  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.c (private_strerror): Add const's to sys_errlist declaration.
        Reported by Fabio d'Alessi.

1996-11-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Add OPTION_BACKUP, OPTION_SUFFIX, OPTION_VERSION_CONTROL.
        Renumber options from 3 instead of from 10.  Declare flag_backup.
        * tar.c:  Include backupfile.h.  Implement --backup, --suffix and
        --version-control decoding.  Adjust usage documentation.

        * misc.c (maybe_backup_file, un_backup_file): New functions.
        * tar.h: Adjusted.
        * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress, open_archive, new_volume):
        Use the new functions.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
        Reported by Jeffrey Mark Siskind, Karl Berry, Karl Heuer, Marty
        Leisner, Melissa Weisshaus and William Bader.

        * misc.c (assign_string): Moved over from tar.c.
        * tar.h: Adjusted.

1996-10-28  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Declare enum read_header, for return values of read_header.
        * diffarch.c (verify_volume): Adjusted.
        * list.c (read_and, read_header): Adjusted.
        * update.c (junk_archive, update_archive): Adjusted.
        * update.c: Rename prev_status to previous_status.
        * update.c (junk_archive): Delete found_stuff, use logical_status.

1996-10-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c (new_volume, open_archive): Soften messages.
        * create.c, extract.c: Add quotes around slashes in some messages.
        * tar.c (usage): Added a missing equal sign after --directory.
        Reported by Jan Djarv.

1996-09-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c: Write --no-recursion instead of --no-recurse.
        Reported by Noah Friedman.

        * Prerelease 1.11.12

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_PROGRAMS): Compile rmt properly, instead of
        letting make use default .c to executable rule.

        * tar.c: Include getopt.h.
        * system.h: Don't.

        * increm.c (get_dir_contents): Consider all NFS devices as equal
        before deciding that a directory was renamed, so automount will
        not fool GNU tar into spurious incremental redumping.
        Reported by Frank Koenen, Giorgio Signorini, Joachim Holzfuss,
        Konno Hiroharu, R. Kent Dybvig and Wolfram Wagner.

        * tar.c (usage): Add bug report address in --help output.

        wrapped inside a struct to avoid bugs in EWS 4.2 C compiler.
        * arith.c: Adjusted.
        Reported by Paul Eggert.

        * buffer.c: Declare archive_stat statically.

        [EMUL_OPEN3]: Intercept open calls and redirect them to open3.
        * open3.c: New file, moved over from lib/.  Merely include
        system.h rather than config.h, errno.h and open3.h.
        [EMUL_OPEN3]: The compilation of the file depends on this symbol.
        When it was in lib/, we were using LIBOBJS to control this.
        * Makefile.am: Adjusted.
        * extract.c: Don't call open3.h.
        Reported by Jim Meyering.

1996-09-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.am (libexec_PROGRAMS): Rely on @RMT@, not rmt.
        (bin_PROGRAMS): Do not include @RMT@.

        * gnu.c (remove_any_file): Protect value of errno in case
        of failure to remove a directory, in non-recursive mode.
        This should correct spurious diagnostics while extracting
        directories over already existing hierarchies.
        Reported by Martin Mares and Marty Leisner.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Do not mention ansi2knr.1 nor
        ansi2knr.c, as Automake now handle them automatically.

1996-07-18  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * arith.h: Include tar.h, not arith.h, so FATAL_ERROR is defined.
        [!SUPER_DIGIT]: Declare arguments to ..._tarlong routines as
        pointers to unsigned long and not arrays, for avoiding pointers
        to arrays, and nevertheless have arrays passed by reference
        rather than by value.
        * arith.c: Adjusted function headers accordingly.
        * buffer.c, tar.c: Removed address-of operators, using tarlongs.
        Reported by Christian T. Dum, Jim Meyering and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * arith.h [SUPER_DIGIT]: Avoid indirection in all macros for
        Accumulators.  This, in particular, solves a bug where the pointer
        value itself was printed, rather than the pointed to value.
        Reported by Drew Sullivan and Wolfram Wagner.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Include ansi2knr.[1c] for now.
        Reported by Christian T. Dum, Jim Meyering and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * Makefile.am (check-local): Ensure relinking if the service
        libraries where modified (waiting for Automake to do it!).

        * rmt.c (strerror): It is a macro on some systems.
        Reported by Santiago Vila Doncel.

        * tar.h: Declare that unquote_string as returning int, not char *.
        * misc.c (unquote_string): New name for un_quote_string.  Clean
        up a bit, return a boolean indicator for success, not a string.
        * gnu.c (read_dir_file), mangle.c (extract_mangle), tar.c
        (add_exclude): Callers adjusted, so they never use a NULL return
        as an actual string.  In fact, the result of unquote_string is
        always used, even if the quoting was improper.
        Reported by Johan Vromans.

1996-05-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c, create.c, gnu.c, list.c: Adjusted.
        (decode_options): Clarify -N and --newer-mtime decoding, ensure
        one of them is called at most, otherwise it would misbehave.

1996-05-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * misc.c (quote_copy_string): Ensure spaces are backslash-quoted.
        Reported by Max Hailperin.

        * list.c (decode_header): Some clean up.  Recognize POSIX archive
        headers, avoid fetching atime or ctime in this case.
        [!S_IFBLK || !S_IFCHR]: Ensure st_rdev is cleared appropriately.
        * tar.h: Rename head_standard to header_format, so turning an
        int to an enum archive_format.  Adjust decode_header prototype.
        * diffarch.c, extract.c, list.c, update.c: Usages changed.
        * create.c: Ensure oldgnu_header is only used when OLDGNU_FORMAT.

1996-05-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c (close_archive): If reading and the archive is

        message from the upstream process if we are reading from a pipe.
        Reported by Bennett Todd, Dick Streefland, Don Bennett, Ian Lance
        Taylor, Jean-loup Gailly and Piercarlo Grandi.

        Reported by Marty Leisner.

1996-04-29  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * list.c (isotime): New function.
        (print_header) [!USE_OLD_CTIME]: Use it instead of ctime.

        Matt Power, Warren Dodge and Wolfram Gloger.

        * extract.c (extr_init): If the umask was very restrictive at
        start of tar, nevertheless ensure we create intermediate
        directories with such permissions that we can at least add files
        into them.
        (extract_archive): Same, but for final directory.  Ensure
        directory attributes are restored in all cases.
        Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.

        * tar.h: Declare preset_owner, preset_group and preset_mode.
        * create.c: Obey these variables.
        Reported by Ken Raeburn, Richard Stallman and Stephen Gildea.

        * create.c (dump_file): When wanting the length of the link
        name, use strlen, rather then doing wrong arithmetic giving
        the number of removed slashes at the beginning of it.
        Reported by Brian R. Smith.

        * create.c (start_header): Try removing leading slashes even for
        long file names.
        Reported by Art Isbell, Fritz Elfert and Robert E. Brown.

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Avoid calling closeout_volume_number if

        * system.h (N_): Define marking macro for delayed translations.
        * rmt.c: Use N_ instead of _ for returned strings.  It does not
        make sense translating messages in a remote process, not knowing
        the language in use in the local process.

1996-04-18  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Instead of -UU for removing directories, request a long option.

        (usage): Document --recursive-unlink.
        (decode_options): Have --recursive-unlink imply --unlink-first.
        * tar.h: Declare --recursive-unlink.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Use flag_recursive_unlink instead
        of flag_unlink_first > 1.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

1996-04-17  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): New name for DIST_OTHER.

        Thompson, Russell Cattelan, Ted Rule and Tor Lillqvist.

        Ensure --tape-length is usable for huge media:
        * tar.h: Declare tape_length as tarlong instead of int.
        * tar.c (decode_option): Decode tape_length as tarlong, and use
        its value pre-multiplied by 1024.
        * buffer.c (flush_write): Use bytes_written and tape_length as
        tarlongs.  Declare bytes_written outside flush_write.
        (init_total_written): Zero out bytes_written as well.
        Reported by Dave Barr.

1996-01-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Define LOCALEDIR in DEFS.
        * system.h [!ENABLE_NLS]: Add replacement for bindtextdomain.
        * tar.c (main): Add call to bindtextdomain.
        * rmt.c (main): Add calls to bindtextdomain and textdomain.
        Reported by Ulrich Drepper.

        * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, gnu.c, list.c, rmt.h, system.h,

1995-12-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * extract.c (extract_archive): On systems not having symbolic
        links, attempt extracting symbolic links as hard links instead,
        as POSIX suggests.  Emit a diagnostic on first occurrence.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): On systems not having contiguous
        files, continue extracting them as regular files as before, but
        emit a diagnostic on first occurrence.

        * tar.h: Declare remove_any_file.
        * gnu.c (remove_any_file): New name for recursively_delete.
        Add a parameter to control recursion.  Inverse return value,
        so 0 is failure.  Ensure errno is always valid in this case.
        (gnu_restore): Specify recursion when calling remove_any_file.
        * extract.c (maybe_recoverable): New routine.
        (extract_archive): Call maybe_recoverable rather than
        make_directories, so deleting files is also tried.  Some cleanup.

        * tar.h: Declare flag_unlink_first.
        * tar.c (decode_options): Decode --unlink-first (-U).
        (usage): Document it.

        the beginning of it.

        * tar.h (USAGE_ERROR): New macro.
        * tar.c: Use USAGE_ERROR as far as possible.  Cleanup and
        normalization in string for usage errors.  Better detection of
        conflicting options about archive format or compression program.

        * tar.c (decode_options): Decouple cases for -C and files.  Count
        number of input files.  Cowardly refuse to create an empty archive
        file, if -c is given without input file or list.
        Reported by Karl Berry and Robert Bernstein.

        * gnu.c: Have dir_list properly initialized to NULL.
        Reported by Paul Nordstrom and Tim Lashua.

        * list.c (print_for_mkdir): New name for pr_mkdir.
        * tar.h: Adjust declaration.
        * extract.c (make_directories): New name for make_dirs.  Some
        cleanup in variable names.

        * extract.c: Let newdir_umask be a global variable.
        (make_directories): Use newdir_umask while creating intermediate
        directories.  They used to be 0777 unconditionally.
        Reported by Bruce Evans, Harald König and James Crawford Ralston.

1995-12-20  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c (finish_header): Avoid printing the header for long
        names or links, this avoids spurious `Visible longname error's.

        Reported by Arne Wichmann, Chris F.M. Verberne, Frank Koenen,
        Franz-Werner Gergen, Ian Jackson, Jon Lewis, Mark Kollert, Paul
        Nordstrom, Ted Rule, Thomas Priesner, Tim Rylance and Tom Tromey.

1995-12-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c: Have real_s_name able to hold PATH_MAX characters,
        not only NAME_FIELD_SIZE.  It was breaking --multi-volume
        --listed-incremental when backing up long file names.
        Many symptoms really: a screwed-up date on the incremental data
        file, dumping incremental which should not have been, etc.
        * (flush_read): Avoid altering save_name pointer value, use
        cursor instead.  Also avoid the optimization of cleaning each
        save_name only once per flush_read if it did not change: it
        was using `save_name = real_s_name;', and since save_name may
        be freed at any time, this is/was really running after trouble.

        * create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c, list.c, rtapelib.c,
        tar.c: Drop register specifications, useless in GNU's tar, as

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Inhibit creation of links, special
        devices, directories, etc., when --to-stdout option is being used.
        Reported by Donald B Gordon, Gerben Wierda, Greg Chung, Norbert

        * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose --block-compress properly.
        Was segment violating because falling into --blocking-factor.

        of timestamps for directories.
        * buffer.c (child_open_for_compress): Add a missing semi-colon.

        --label uses regexps.
        Reported by John R. Vanderpool and Matti Aarnio.

        * tar.c (names_notfound): Do not report a fake namelist entry, so
        gzipped empty archives will not produce spurious diagnostics.
        Reported by Jonathan Kamens.

1995-11-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        file descriptors.
        Reported by Holger Teutsch.

        (name_init, add_exclude_file, decode_options): Use request_stdin
        if required.
        (confirm): Check stdin_used_by to see if stdin in use.

        * list.c (read_header):  Consistently use sizeof to find size
        of checksum field.

1995-08-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * names.c (uid_to_uname, gid_to_gname): Ensure that the empty
        string is returned when not found, instead of the previous one.

1995-08-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Use stderr rather than stdlis for
        interactions.  Clarify `archive == 0' into `archive == STDIN'.

1995-08-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): When symlink differs, report the

        * tar.h: Sort out declarations a little better.
        * tar.c (decode_options): Reorder the cases in the big switch.

        * tar.h: Introduce OLDGNU_COMPATIBILITY, enum archive_format,
        variable archive_format.  Delete flag_old_archive, flag_standard.
        * tar.c (decode_options): Initialize archive_format so that -o
        yields V7_FORMAT, nothing yields OLDGNU_FORMAT, --posix yields
        GNU_FORMAT, and --posix with POSIXLY_CORRECT yields POSIX_FORMAT.
        * create.c (start_header): Use TMAGIC and TVERSION if required.
        Replace all flag_old_archive and flag_standard appropriately.

        * tar.c: Implement a --record-size option, which is an
        alternate way of saying --blocking-factor, in bytes this time.

        * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c (child_open_for_compress):
        Delete --block-compress, issue a warning if used.  It was never
        obeyed while outputting on disk files, where it would have been
        useful.  It was only obeyed for pipes, remotes and devices, that
        is, exactly when it would be an error not to specify it.

        Reported by Hans Guerth, James H Caldwell Jr, Jean-loup Gailly,
        Jeffrey W. Parker, John D. Sybalsky, Kai Schlichting, Marcin

        * tar.c (usage): Remind that `USER@' may be specified.
        Reported by John J. Szetela and Oliver Trepte.

        * tar.c (usage): Replace `modificators' by `modifiers'.
        Reported by Alan Modra.

        * extract.c (set_mode, set_stat): New functions, from
        previous code, elsewhere.  Replace various occurrences of code
        appropriately with function calls.  Ensure mode bits are properly
        set in all circumstances.  This may imply calling set_mode twice.
        Reported by Piercarlo Grandi and Tim Magill.

        * extract.c: Save the whole stat information in saved
        directory information, instead of parts of it, all mistyped.
        (restore_saved_dir_info): Free information as we consume it.
        Simplify code by using set_mode and set_times.  Rename routine to
        apply_delayed_set_stat, and do some other cleanup around it.

        * *.[hc]: Replace flag_confirm by flag_interactive,
        flag_do_chown by flag_same_owner,
        flag_exstdout by flag_to_stdout,
        flag_follow_links by flag_dereference,

        flag_sorted_names by flag_same_order,
        flag_sparse_files by flag_sparse,
        flag_startfile by flag_starting_file,
        flag_use_protection by flag_same_permissions,
        OPTION_COMPRESS_PROG by OPTION_USE_COMPRESS_PROGRAM,
        flag_volhdr by volume_label,
        flag_compressprog by compress_program,
        flag_rsh_command by rsh_command,
        and flag_volno_file by volno_file.

        * tar.c: Rename --modification-time by --touch, and provide a
        warning for the old option.

1995-06-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * list.c (decode_header): At extraction time, use the stored
        uid if uname is unknown in this system, and use the stored gid if
        gname is unknown in this system, instead.  This solves a long
        lasting bug by which restored files were all owned by root, using
        an incomplete /etc/passwd or /etc/group file.
        * names.c: Rename finduname to uid_to_uname and findgname to
        gid_to_gname, exchanging the order of arguments.  Use uid_t and
        gid_t instead of int's.  Use empty strings in cached_[ug]name for
        marking there is no valid cached translation, instead of using
        magic values for cached_[ug]id.  Rename finduid to uname_to_uid
        and findgid to gname_to_gid, adding a second argument to store the
        result if found, and returning a success/failure indication, not
        anymore assuming the current [ug]id by default.
        * tar.h, create.c, list.c: Adjust prototypes and callers.

        Reported by Anders Andersson, Bernard Derval, Brian Perkins,
        Charles Fu, Daniel Trinkle, Ian Jackson, Johannes Helander,
        Michael Lin, Richard Sims, Robert E. Brown, Tim P. Starrin and
        Torkel Hasle.

        * tar.h, create.c, list.c, names.c, tar.c:
        Implement --numeric-owner, to replace the NONAMES define.  Then,
        ensure some reasonable values to magic and linkflags if POSIX.
        Reported by Benedikt Stockebrand, Ian Jackson and Stephen Gildea.

        * buffer.c: Delete save_block function, as well as
        saved_block_pointer and saved_block variables.  Blocks were
        carefully saved indeed, but never consulted after the fact.
        * tar.h: Delete save_block prototype.
        * *.c: Delete all usages of save_block.

        * rmt.c: Add static to variable declarations.
        * list.c (read_header): Rename recsum to recorded_sum.

1995-06-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * *.[hc]: Rename --read-full-blocks to --read-full-records,
        --block-size to --blocking-factor, and --record-number to
        --block-number.
        * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose usage of old names.

        * *.[hc]: Rename saverec to save_block, findrec to
        find_next_block, and userec to set_next_block_after.
        Replace endofrecs by available_space_after which does the space
        computation instead of returning the end pointer, adjust and
        simplify all callers, by using variable data_block systematically.
        Also, rename union block field charptr to buffer.

1995-06-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * *.[hc]: Exchange "record" and "block" almost everywhere and
        whenever appropriate, to follow the terminology used in
        P1003.1-1990, and so removing a lot of confusion in sources.

        * tar.h: Prefer naming constants and fields per P1003-1.1990 as
        far as possible.  Rename those remaining LF_xxx to GNUTYPE_xxx.
        * *.c: Adjusted accordingly.

        * tar.h: Clean up the header structure.  Make very clear what is
        specified by POSIX, and what is GNU format, and what is extended
        header for sparse files.  Use xxx_FIELD_SIZE instead of NAMSIZ,
        TUNMLEN and TGNMLEN.  Dismangle some other names, on the way...
        * *.c: Adjusted accordingly.

        * tar.h: Do not declare baserec, declare current_block_ordinal.
        * buffer.c (current_block_ordinal): New function.
        Rename baserec to record_start_block, and make it static.
        * list.c: Use current_block_ordinal, avoid baserec computations.
        * buffer.c, list.c: Get rid of saved_recno and annofile.

        * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Move no_op and wantbytes from
        buffer.c to diffarch.c.  Correct prototypes so first arg is long.
        * tar.h: Do not declare no_op nor wantbytes, anymore.

        * tar.h, buffer.c: Move ar_block, ar_record and ar_last
        from tar.h to buffer.c, renaming them to record_start,
        current_block, record_end respectively.
        * update.c: Add temporary extern declaration for record_start,
        current_block and record_end.

        * tar.h, buffer.c: Move ar_reading from tar.h to buffer.c,
        renaming it to reading_archive.
        * diffarch.c: Add temporary extern declaration for
        reading_archive.

        * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c,
        list.c, names.c, rmt.c, rmt.h, rtapelib.c,
        tar.c, update.c: Replace many #ifdef's by #if's, and
        #ifndef's by #if !'s.

        * buffer.c (redirect): New name for dupto.  Callers changed.

        * create.c (dump_file), extract.c (extract_archive,
        extract_sparse_file), tar.h: Remove crumb about ending_blanks
        and end_nulls.

        * Makefile.in (all): Do not prepare genfile by default, as it
        is only needed for checking.

        * tar.c (decode_options): Diagnose lacking arguments to old
        options.
        Reported by Aage Robeck, Alan Cox, Benny Holmgren, Bruno Haible,

        Replace ck_close by xclose in all modules.
        * port.c: Remove ck_close.

        * port.c: Remove ck_malloc, because xmalloc can be used
        instead, now that it protects against malloc(0) returning NULL.
        * gnu.c (gnu_restore), list.c (read_header): Replace
        ck_malloc with xmalloc.  In gnu_restore, remove skipping code in
        case of failed allocation, because tar already aborted in xmalloc.
        * tar.h: Delete ck_malloc declaration.

        * port.c: Remove mknod, link, chown and geteuid, which
        normally exist on Unix.  To be reinserted later, as needed.

        * misc.c (un_quote_string): If `\' ends a string to unquote,
        just pass it undisturbed.
        From Robert Lipe.

        instead of ../intl/libintl.h, which does not always exist.

        * genfile.c: Define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE if not.
        * tar.c (main): Use TAREXIT_SUCCESS instead of EXIT_SUCCESS.

        * tar.h: Use off_t instead of long for the second argument in
        __rmt_lseek declaration.
        * system.h: Remove typedef of off_t, because AC_TYPE_OFF_T
        takes care of it now.
        Reported by Coranth Gryphon, Jim Blandy and Thomas Krebs.

1995-06-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (decode_options): Implement OBSOLETE_ABSOLUTE_NAMES for
        reporting --absolute-paths as obsolete.

        * system.h: Conditionnaly include <locale.h> and define
        setlocale to void independently of ENABLE_NLS.
        Reported by Ulrich Drepper.

1995-06-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (long_options): Use no_argument and require_argument,
        instead of constants.  Have long option names translated to short
        options whenever possible, rather than setting flags directly:
        easing option management is worth a few extra nanoseconds.

        * tar.c (long_options): Add --gunzip as meaning -z.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1995-06-07  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Use subdir and distdir.

        * system.h [NLS]: Simplify by merely including <libintl.h>.
        Also, define setlocale to empty only if the setlocale function is
        not known, instead of when <locale.h> is missing.
        * Makefile.in (INCLUDES): Use ../intl in compilations,
        taking care of the fact libintl.h might have been symlinked there.

1995-06-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c, tar.h: Rename TAR_EXTERN to GLOBAL.

        * tar.h: Delete COMMAND_VERSION.
        * tar.c: Replace OPTION_HELP and OPTION_VERSION commands by
        show_help and show_version variables, so `--version --create' will
        not diagnose `Too many commands'.  Adjust things so this works.
        Reported by Marty Leisner.

1995-06-04  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in (check): New goal.
        * checktar.sh: New script.
        * genfile.c: New file.
        * Makefile.in (all): Prepare genfile.
        * Makefile.in: Distribute checktar.sh and genfile.c.

1995-06-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Adjust so extracted doc/header.texi is neater.

1995-05-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (name_match): Use %s for printing directory, not %d.
        Reported by Marty Leisner.

        * tar.c (name_gather, addname): chdir_name receives string
        pointers which might later be overwritten, but nevertheless saved
        into structures, so, use xstrdup for the time being.
        Reported by Michael Holmes.

        * tar.c (name_next, name_from_list): Abort when chdir fails.
        Reported by Ian Jackson and Marty Leisner.

1995-05-28  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.h: Declare second argument of __rmt_lseek to be off_t
        instead of long, so it is the same as in rmt.c.
        Reported by Chris Arthur.

        * buffer.c (close_archive): Compensate for the addition of 2
        to ar_block at open_archive time, for when -M used, just before
        calling free.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Clinton Carr, Hernan Prieto Schmidt,
        Kevin Dalley, Loren J. Rittle and Marty Leisner.

        * rmt.c: Replace SSIZE by STRING_SIZE, avoiding a conflict
        with some header files.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.

        * tar.c: Use DEVICE_PREFIX instead of DEVICE_PREXIX, and
        WITH_REGEX instead of WITH_REGEC.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1995-05-16  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.7.

        * Makefile.in (tar): Have $(OBJECTS) depend on system.h.

1995-05-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Clean glocale out.

1995-05-08  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Use libintl.a while linking.
        * system.h: Include <libintl.h> unconditionally, instead only
        if WITH_CATALOG.  Let <libintl.h> define _() appropriately.
        * tar.c (main): Call textdomain.

1995-05-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * system.h, gnu.c, list.c, port.c: Avoid
        superfluous parentheses in macro definitions.
        * port.c: Capitalize macro arguments.
        * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, tar.c: Use comma
        operator when assignment in test.

1995-04-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * port.c (link): Use WARN to report the message.
        Reported by Sherwood Botsford.

1995-03-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Remove GLOCALE, add LINGUAS, use fp_WITH_CATALOGS.
        * system.h: Use WITH_CATALOGS to define _() differently.

1995-03-14  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Close the unused side of each
        pipe, instead of the useful one, prior to processing.
        Reported by Charles Lopes and Minh Tran-Le.

1995-02-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Replace `date' by `echo timestamp'.

1995-02-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Support ID files.  Do not distribute TAGS.

1995-02-13  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Use top_srcdir.

1995-02-11  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * gnu.c (is_dot_or_dotdot): Through NFS, readdir might deliver
        empty filenames under old Solaris 2.4, causing endless loops in
        tar.  As a workaround, avoid `' as done already for `.' and `..'.
        Reported by Jan Carlson.

1995-02-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in (maintainer-clean): New name for realclean.

1995-01-04  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * extract.c (make_dirs) [MSDOS]: Correct for Turbo C, which may
        return EACCES instead of EEXIST on mkdir.
        Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.

        * tar.c (usage) [MSDOS]: Do not tell about -N and related.
        (decode_options) [MSDOS]: Be blind to -N and related.
        Reported by Jeffrey Goldberg.

        * rmt.h (_remdev): A filename is not remote if the colon is
        preceeded by a slash, to take care of `/:/' which is a shorthand
        for `/.../<CELL-NAME>/fs' on OSF's Distributing Computing
        Environment (DCE) and Distributed File System (DFS).
        Reported by Travis L. Priest.

1995-01-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (decode_options): Renamed from options.  Convert
        oldish-style non-dashed options to modern writing before
        performing option decoding.  Diagnose when modern options are met
        before old style options are fully converted.  This allows
        mixing of option styles on a single call.  Avoid getoldopt and
        use getopt_long instead.
        * getoldopt.c: Deleted.
        * tar.h: Prototype deleted.
        * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Les Mikesell, Patrick Timmons and Saul
        Lubkin.

1995-01-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * system.h: New file, split out of tar.h.
        * buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c,
        getoldopt.c, gnu.c, list.c, mangle.c, names.c,
        port.c, tar.c, update.c: Include "system.h", and move
        the inclusion of "tar.h" down after system dependent definitions.
        * Makefile.in: Distribute system.h.

        * rmt.c: Include "system.h", and simplify accordingly.
        * rtapelib.c: Include "system.h", and simplify accordingly.
        * rmt.h: Simplify according to the inclusion of "system.h".

        * system.h: Include conditionnaly <sys/gentape.h>,
        <sys/tape.h>, <sys/mtio.h>, <sys/ioctl.h> and <sys/io/trioctl.h>.
        * buffer.c, diffarch.c, rmt.c, rtapelib.c,
        update.c: Simplify accordingly.

        * system.h: If it exists, include <sys/ioccom.h> prior to
        <sys/mtio.h>, to account for problems when GNU libc 1.0x is
        installed over SunOS 4.1.3: GNU libc does not provide sys/mtio.h,
        so it is taken from Sun header files which use things like _IOW,
        which GNU libc despises, sys/ioccom.h then provides definitions.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco.

1994-12-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.h: Ensure strrchr is defined to rindex in some cases.
        Reported by Karl Vogel.

1994-12-18  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Include <ctype.c> and declare ISASCII.
        * gnu.c: Adjust, declare and use ISDIGIT and ISSPACE.
        * list.c: Adjust, declare and use ISODIGIT and ISSPACE.
        * port.c: Adjust, declare and use ISPRINT.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Konno Hiroharu and Max Hailperin.

1994-12-11  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c, tar.c [WITH_REGEX]: Check it.

1994-12-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.6.

        * rmt.c: Adjust for localization, by including <locale.h> and
        <libintl.h>, by defining _(), by defining and calling setlocale,
        and by defining and initializing program_name.
        * Makefile.in: Use locale.o and libtar.a with rmt.

        * Makefile.in: Ensure INSTALL_DATA is defined.

        * Makefile.in, tar.h, tar.c:
        Localize, adapting from how it is done in sharutils.

        * Makefile.in, tar.c: Rename PRODUCT to PACKAGE.

1994-11-29  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c (backspace_output): Change cur from long to off_t.
        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Idem for offset.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem for offset.
        * rmt.c: Idem for lseek ().
        (main): For case 'L', use atol instead of atoi, and cast the
        result to (off_t) rather than (long).
        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_lseek): Idem of offset argument.
        * tar.h: Change offset of sp_array from int to off_t.
        * update.c (move_arch): Change cur from long to off_t.
        Reported by David J. MacKenzie.

1994-11-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.h, tar.h, buffer.c, create.c,
        diffarch.c, extract.c, gnu.c, list.c,
        rtapelib.c, update.c: Rename _ to __P.
        * tar.h, rmt.h: Declare _ as a macro returning its
        argument, or else, include <libintl.h> and declare _ as gettext.
        * tar.c: Possibly include <locale.h> and call setlocale.
        * rmt.c, buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c,
        extract.c, getoldopt.c, gnu.c, list.c,
        mangle.c, port.c, rtapelib.c, tar.c,
        update.c: Use _ macro over all localizable strings.

        * rtapelib.c: Declare prototype for xstrdup.  Do not declare
        strstr, which is not needed.

1994-11-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Clean up, following those of GNU m4.  I will
        not detail all the changes here.
        * tar.c: Use PRODUCT and VERSION instead of version_string.

1994-10-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h [__STDC__]: Use #if instead of #ifdef.

1994-10-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.h, tar.h, buffer.c, create.c, diffarch.c,
        extract.c, gnu.c, list.c, mangle.c, tar.c,
        update.c: Rename all f_* variables to flag_*.

        * tar.h, buffer.c, tar.c, update.c: Rename cmd_mode into command_mode.
        * tar.c (SET_COMMAND_MODE): New macro, use it.

        * port.c (quote_copy_string): Prevent sign extension of

1994-10-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.c, rtapelib.c, tar.h: Get rid of CONFIG_BROKETS.

1994-10-04  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * diffarch.c (fill_in_sparse_array): Add a cast for Pyramid's
        dumb compiler.  Later remove the cast and compare to 0 instead.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
        Reported by Karl Vogel and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1994-09-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * diffarch.c: Normalize capitalization in diagnostics.

1994-09-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (name_next, name_match): Abort tar if directory cannot
        be changed, instead of going on.  This is not an innocuous error.
        Reported by Marty Leisner.

1994-09-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rtapelib.c: Include "rmt.h" only once <sys/types.h> has been
        included, because off_t might not be defined otherwise.
        Reported by James W. McKelvey, John L. Chmielewski, Karl
        Vogel, Kaveh R. Ghazi an and Jim Meyering and Tilman Schmidt.

1994-09-14  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in: Cleanup...
        (DISTFILES): Distribute TAGS.
        (ansi2knr): Use $(LIBS).
        (TAGS): Make TAGS in $(srcdir) only.
        (distclean): Do not remove TAGS.
        (realclean): Remove TAGS.
        (Makefile): Have ./config.status create this Makefile only.

1994-09-13  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c: Remove the presetting of stdlis, because stdout is
        not a constant in GNU libc.
        Reported by Joseph E. Sacco and Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Pass an otherwise unused argument to
        wait, do not use NULL.
        Reported by Thomas Bushnell n/BSG.

1994-09-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.in (TAGS): Remove -t on etags call.  It has been
        the default behavior for a few releases of Emacs and it seems that
        option -t is now disappearing (from Emacs 19.25, at least).
        Reported by Goeran Uddeborg.

1994-09-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Do not set dp->allnew if dp is not
        set itself.
        Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.

        messages to msg_file, instead of stdout.
        Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.

1994-08-23  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Do not declare alloca if already defined, so HP's
        +Olibcalls compiler option works.
        Reported by John David Anglin.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Use REMOTE_SHELL only if defined.
        Otherwise, if the command argument has been specified and
        REMOTE_SHELL is not defined, immediately return an error.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Marty Leisner,
        Torkel Hasle and William Bader.

        Because --rsh-command may always be given, even if no remote shell
        was found at configure time, remote capabilities are always
        compiled.  This also solve other problems related to RTAPELIB.
        * Makefile.in: Always compile $Urtapelib.o.
        * buffer.c (child_open): Always test _remdev, do not depend
        anymore on HAVE_RTAPELIB.
        * rmt.h [!HAVE_RTAPELIB]: Remove some code.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab and Vic Abell.

        * rtapelib.c: Remove unused COMPAT (mis)feature.  Remove most
        length limitations for remote host name, remote user name and
        remote device name.  Duplicate path, and free it in all cases.
        * (_rmt_rexec): The `user' parameter may never by the empty
        string.  Remove code for that case.

1994-08-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Little cleanup in installation:
        * Makefile.in: Remove rule for ../lib/libtar.a.

1994-08-21  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.5.

        * Makefile.in: Correct for when a different     build directory.

        * tar.h: Replace W* definitions.  Adapted from make 3.71.
        * buffer.c (close_archive): Replace WIFCOREDUMPED by
        WCOREDUMP.  Previous WIFSIGNALED definition was excluding SIGSTOP,
        new definition do not exclude it anymore.  We'll see.
        Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, Greg Black, Kaveh R. Ghazi,
        Robert E. Brown and Russ Evans.

1994-08-20  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        This might (?) solve the dirent problems on NeXT's and Apollo's:
        * tar.h: Change includes and defines from older AC_DIR_HEADER
        style to newer and clearer AC_HEADER_DIRENT style.
        * create.c, gnu.c: Replace NLENGTH by NAMLEN.
        Reported by Drew Trieger, Hugh Secker-Walker, James W. McKelvey,
        Robert E. Brown and Thomas Krebs.

1994-08-17  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Remove some shadowings.
        * update.c (update_archive): Rename head_standard to unused.
        * buffer.c (open_archive): Rename head to label.
        (fl_read): Rename head to cursor.

        * gnu.c (dirent_cmp): Use (char *const *), not (const char **)
        for not loosing the const specifier while casting.

        * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Remove unused argument.
        * tar.h: Adjust prototype.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Caller changed.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Remove useless mode parameter.
        * rmt.h, tar.h: Adjust prototype.
        * rmt.h: Adjust macros calling __rmt_open.
        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Remove unused argument.
        * create.c (dump_file): Caller changed.
        Reported by Greg Black.

        * Makefile.in: Avoid $U in defining RTAPELIB.  Remove both
        rtapelib.o and _urtapelib.o explicit rules, not needed anymore.
        * rmt.h, buffer.c [HAVE_RTAPELIB]: Instead of !NO_REMOTE.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * Makefile.in: Correct a typo in $Ubuffer.o dependencies.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl): Compile the MTIOCGET case only if
        this symbol is defined.  This also solves a missing mt_type field
        on NS32016 running SysVr2.2.
        Reported by Greg Black.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_ioctl) : Conditionnalize only the MTIOCTOP
        case, not the whole routine, with the MTIOCTOP symbol.  In case of
        unrecognized operation, return EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL.
        * rmt.h: Always provide a prototype for __rmt_ioctl.  Delete
        the RMTIOCTL machinery.

1994-08-16  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rmt.c, buffer.c: Use a more uniform way of including
        <sys/mtio.h> or its alternates.
        Reported by Daniel R. Guilderson and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * Makefile.in: Split rule for $Urtapelib.o into one rule for
        rtapelib.o and one rule for _rtapelib.o, taking care of the fact
        that rtapelib.c is in $(srcdir) while _rtapelib.c is in current
        directory.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab, Kaveh R. Ghazi, Minh Tran-Le and
        Per Foreby.

        * rmt.c (string_error): Correct DEBUG2 into DEBUG1, and strint
        into string.
        Reported by Anders Andersson, Bruno Haible, Thomas Krebs and
        Thomas König.

        * Makefile.in: Add $U's to rtapelib and rmt specific rules.
        Reported by Thomas König.

1994-08-15  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.4.

        * rmt.c (numeric_error): Renamed from error.
        (string_error): New, to replace ERROR ((...)), unavailable in rmt.c.

        * rmt.c (checkbuf): Do not accept, nor return record.  Use the
        global instead.  This will get rid of useless shadowings.

        * rmt.h: Give prototypes for __rmt_* routines.
        * rtapelib.c: Include "rmt.h".
        * update.c (move_arch): Cast last rmtioctl argument to char *.
        * buffer.c (backspace_output): Idem.
        * diffarch.c (verify_volume): Idem.

        * Makefile.in (rmt): Declare dependencies over rmt.h.

1994-08-14  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * rtapelib.c: Use MTIO_CHECK_FIELD instead of mt_type.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander.

1994-08-13  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Include <sys/wait.h> if it exists, whether POSIX or not.
        Check if WIFSTOPPED is defined, to decide if defining others WIF*.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1994-08-11  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * extract.c (extract_archive) [O_CTG]: Declare longname variable.
        Initialize it as NULL.  This dirty kludge will allow the module to
        compile on Masscomp's, for the time being.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander.

        * tar.h, rtapelib.c: Declare strstr if we replaced it.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Christian T. Dum and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1994-08-10  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c (dump_file): Do not test only for hpux, but also
        for __hpux.  I added __hpux__ too, as done in tar.h.
        Reported by Richard Lloyd.

        * tar.h: Do not include <sys/mknod.h> anymore for HP-UX from
        HP-UX 8 and after, for which definitions are in <sys/sysmacros.h>,
        and reorganize the tests in this area.
        Reported by Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis, Kimmy Posey,
        Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd and Thomas König.

1994-08-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        These changes for const-cleaning gnu.c and tar.c:
        * tar.c (read_name_from_file): Work directly on global
        variables instead of accepting parameters.  Return success or
        failure as an int instead of the relocated name_buffer.
        (name_next): Caller changed, internal clean-up of the function.
        Remove trailing slashes on the command call too, not only when
        reading from a file through -T option.
        * gnu.c: Add const to name and dir_text in struct dirname.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Bruno Haible, Christian T. Dum,
        Dean Gaudet, James W. McKelvey, Richard Lloyd and Robert E. Brown.

1994-08-08  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (name_next, name_gather, addname): Use strcmp for
        checking for "-C", instead of decomposed tests, just for clarity.

        * Makefile.in (RSH): Define from configuration.
        (rtapelib.o): Define REMOTE_SHELL from $(RSH) while compiling.
        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): If command not given, use
        REMOTE_SHELL, instead of cascading tries of filenames.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * tar.c: Include <fnmatch.h> if FNM_LEADING_DIR is not
        defined, instead of checking for FNM_PATHNAME, because some
        <unistd.h> define the later without defining the former.
        Reported by Thomas König.

        * create.c (dump_file): Cast alloca results, for those
        compilers not processing void * properly.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * Makefile.in: Get prefix and exec_prefix from configure.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab, Christian T. Dum and Dean Gaudet.

        * src/port.c: Delete mkdir (and rmdir), rename, strstr and
        ftruncate replacements.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi (for memset and strstr).
        Reported by Bruno Haible (for mkdir and rename).

1994-08-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Replace msg_file by stdlis.
        * buffer.c, gnu.c, list.c, diffarch.c: Idem.

        * tar.c (main): Print version on stdout, not stderr.

        * tar.h: Unconditionnaly insert the pad.  Why play the game of
        forcing the compiler to do it for us?  (Hum!  I'm not so sure.)
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * list.c (read_header): Initialize signed_sum to 0.  Use this
        opportunity for slightly reorganizing the code around.
        Reported by Anders Andersson, Andrey A. Chernov, Bruno Haible
        and Chris Ransom.

        * tar.c: Declare name_buffer_length as size_t instead of int.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab, J.T. Conklin, Kaveh R. Ghazi and
        Robert E. Brown.

        * rmt.h: Have the NO_REMOTE case be a particular case of the
        other, for rmtopen and rmtcreat were not transmitting the proper
        number of parameters to open and creat (since 26 July 1994).
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Delay changing owner to after
        doing utime, for keeping long enough the permission of utime'ing.
        (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info): Idem for directories.
        Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.

        * tar.h: Change malloc_dbg to dmalloc, mutatis mutandis.

        * tar.h: Undefine many macros if stat macros found to be
        broken.  Define mkfifo only if configure did not find it.
        Include <sys/param.h> if not _POSIX_SOURCE, then <unistd.h> if
        we have it, than "pathmax.h".  Move _POSIX_VERSION dependent
        code further down.  Do not declare getcwd if we do not have it.
        * tar.c: Do not include <unistd.h>, now in "tar.h".
        Reported by Bernard Chen, Jean-Michel Soenen, John L.
        Chmielewski and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * tar.h: Define DEV_BSIZE, ST_BLKSIZE and ST_NBLOCKS,
        borrowing this code from both fileutils-3.9's "lib/system.h" and
        textutils-1.9's "system.h".
        * create.c (dump_file): Straighten the test for sparseness,
        which was requiring one block too much, most probably for trying
        to get around DEV_BSIZE/st_blksize confusion.  Use ST_NBLOCKS,
        instead of computing a variable block_size and doing specific
        tests for HP-UX or Linux.  Also rewrite the test so it works
        when ST_NBLOCKS is unsigned.
        Reported by Bruno Haible, Dean Gaudet, Dick Streefland, Harald
        König, Jim Meyering, Kai Petzke, Kaveh R. Ghazi and Torkel Hasle.

1994-08-04  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c: Do not include <unistd.h> if we do not have it.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * Makefile.in (RTAPELIB): Prefix by $U for unprotoization.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi and Christian T. Dum.

        * port.c: Remove many static specifiers.
        Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, Kaveh R. Ghazi and William Bader.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Replace system by remote, twice.
        Reported by Ben A. Mesander, Christian T. Dum, Demizu Noritoshi
        and Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * tar.c (addname): Replace a forgotten EX_SYSTEM by
        TAREXIT_FAILURE.
        Reported by Demizu Noritoshi, James W. McKelvey, Kaveh R.
        Ghazi and Robert E. Brown.

1994-08-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.3.

        * tar.c (assign_string): New routines.
        * create.c (dump_file, start_header), extract.c
        (extract_archive), list.c (list_archive, read_header),
        buffer.c (open_archive), diffarch.c (diff_archive): Use
        assign_string for setting these variables to a string value or
        NULL.
        * buffer.c (open_archive): Sets current_file_name,
        current_link_name and save_name to NULL.
        (close_archive): Free each of them if not NULL.
        (fl_write): Take a copy of save_name into cursor, and advance the
        cursor instead, because save_name should stay free-able.
        Reported by Dave Gentzel, Harald Anlauf, Mark Clements, Robert
        Weissenfels, Ronald van Loon, Tsutomu Yamada and Vic Abell.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Use xstrdup, for clarity.
        * gnu.c (add_dir): Idem.

        * list.c (print_header): Correct a little bug by which
        non-symbolic links were not printed properly quoted.

        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Allocate tmpbuf to the proper
        size.  NAMSIZ + 2 is not necessarily enough.

1994-08-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Refresh str*/mem* configured declarations.  Among
        other things, this will solve previously missing #undef's.
        * rmt.h: Revise strchr configured declaration.
        * *.c: Replace bzero by memset, bcopy by memcpy, bcmp by
        memcmp, index by strchr and rindex by strrchr.
        * port.c: Delete functions bzero and bcmp, said to not exist
        on Minix.  AC_MINIX in configure.in should guarantee POSIX things.
        Reported by Drew Trieger, Hugh Secker-Walker and Vic Abell.

        * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c, update.c: Change CMD_* to COMMAND_*.

        * buffer.c (open_archive): Use strcmp to compare archive name
        to `-', instead of doing it explicitely.  Just for clarity.

        * tar.h, tar.c, buffer.c: Replace ar_files by
        archive_name_array, n_ar_files by archive_names and ar_files_len
        by allocated_archive_names.  Replace the index cur_ar_file by
        archive_name_cursor, which is a cursor in archive_name_array.

        * tar.c (main): Move the initialization of
        archive_name_array at beginning, taken from options routine.
        Free it at end of main.
        (options): Use xrealloc instead of ck_realloc for archive_name,
        for the already saved names to be preserved.
        Reported by Per Bojsen.

        * tar.h, tar.c: Replace name_file by namefile_name.
        * tar.c: Replace n_ind by name_array, n_indused by names,
        n_indalloc by allocated_names, and n_indscan by name_index.
        Replace namef by name_file, n_argv by names_argv and n_argc by
        names_argc.
        (main): Make an initial allocation for name_array at beginning,
        moved out from name_add, free it at end of main.

        * buffer.c (close_archive): Free ar_block at end.

1994-07-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h [WITH_MALLOC_DBG]: Include "malloc_dbg.h".

        * create.c (create_archive): Do not attempt creating a
        directory summary file if -G, since -G sets gnu_dumpfile to 0.
        Reported by Alexander Dupuy.

        * create.c (dump_file): Avoid a NULL dereference with -G when
        trying to dump an empty directory.
        * gnu.c (add_dir_name): Same thing.
        Reported by Rainer Orth.

        Correction for the improper `data differs' diagnostic given when
        the continuation of a multi-volume was compared.
        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): If multi-volume, update save_name
        and save_totsize before calling wantbytes.
        * buffer.c (wantbytes): If multi-volume, update save_sizeleft.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab, Denis Fortin, François Pinard,
        Hiroyuki Bessho, Olaf Schlueter, Simon Wright and Saul Lubkin.

1994-07-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c (options): Implement DEVICE_PREFIX and DENSITY_LETTER.
        Reported by Danny R. Johnston.

        * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Use CURRENT_FILE_NAME abbreviation.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Idem.
        Reported by Timothy Fossum.

1994-07-29  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c (dump_file): Abort if no memory for a possible
        link, remove related bogus code, and the variable nolinks.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * create.c (dump_file): Detect file sparseness correctly for
        Linux ext2 filesystem.
        Reported by Kai Petzke.

        * port.c (link) [!MSDOS]: Do not call setmode.
        Reported by Richard Deal.

        Reorganization for `tar -d' to provide a different exit status.
        * tar.h: Replace errors by exit_status.  Declare TAREXIT_*.
        * buffer.c (child_open): Exit with exit_status.
        * tar.c (main): Initialize exit_status to TAREXIT_SUCCESS, and
        exit with exit_status.
        * buffer.c, diffarch.c, gnu.c, list.c, port.c,
        rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Replace EXIT_FAILURE by
        TAREXIT_FAILURE, and EXIT_SUCCESS by TAREXIT_SUCCESS.
        * tar.h (ERROR), create.c (dump_file): Set exit_status to
        TAREXIT_FAILURE instead of increasing errors.
        * diffarch.c (sigh, diff_sparse_files): On differences, set
        exit_status to TAREXIT_DIFFERS if nothing more serious already.
        Reported by Tilman Schmidt.

        * rmt.c: Define EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS if not already.
        * rtapelib.c: Define EXIT_ON_EXEC_ERROR to 128 and use it.

1994-07-27  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * diffarch.c (sigh): Increment errors, so a difference will
        yield a non-zero exit status at end.
        Reported by Nick Holloway.

        * tar.h: Rename TARERROR to WARN, then add ERROR which is similar,
        but increments the errors counter.
        * *.c: Replace all TARERROR by WARN or ERROR, deciding for each
        case.  Many errors were not reflected in exit status.

        Reported by Carl Streeter, Esa Karell, George Chyu, Ian Jackson,
        Judy Ricker, Massimo Dal Zotto, Roland McGrath, Tilman Schmidt
        and Torkel Hasle.

        * buffer.c (child_open): Exit with EXIT_FAILURE if any error.

        * rtapelib.c: Use error for reporting errors.
        (do_command): New name for command.
        (get_status): New name for status.

        * buffer.c: Remove definition of MAGIC_STAT.
        (close_archive): Do not check MAGIC_STAT for an exit value, since
        this value is never returned.

        * *.c: Use TARERROR or exit with EXIT_FAILURE, instead of various
        esoteric statuses.  Normalize using TARERROR with an exit status,
        instead of calling TARERROR with 0 first, then _exit.  On exit
        calls, use EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0.
        * tar.c: Do not use the exit status anymore for outputting an
        error counter value.  Wrap around was creating spurious success.
        * tar.h: Remove EX_* definitions for tar exit statuses.
        Reported by Bob Mende and Torbjorn Granlund.

1994-07-26  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Add f_rsh_command variable.
        * tar.c: Add and process --rsh-command option.
        * buffer.c (open_archive, child_open, new_volume): Pass
        f_rsh_command to rmtopen and rmtcreat calls.
        * rmt.h (rmtopen, rmtcreat): Pass a supplementary argument.
        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Accept and process a command
        argument, to replace rsh.
        Reported by Jonathan I. Kamens.

        * tar.h: Instead of including <sys/file.h> with BSD42 or
        <fcntl.h> for V7, merely include <fcntl.h> if it exists,
        otherwise <sys/file.h>.
        * buffer.c, diffarch.c, extract.c, list.c,
        port.c, update.c: Do not include <fcntl.h> or
        <sys/file.h>, because they are indirectly included through
        "tar.h".

        * create.c (dump_file): Remove the BSD42 conditional.  If not
        f_sparse_files, initialize upperbound as when not BSD42.
        Reported by Alan Bawden, Claude Scarpelli, Laurent
        Sainte-Marthe, Noah Friedman, Reuben Sumner, Tom Quinn and
        William Bader.

1994-07-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Merely define valloc as being malloc if valloc does
        not exist.
        * port.h: Remove valloc, which was only a dummy for malloc.
        Reported by Cliff Krumvieda, Francois Pinard, Henrik Bakman,
        J.T. Conklin, Nelson H.F. Beebe and Tilman Schmidt.

1994-07-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c (start_header): Cast NAMSIZ to size_t before
        comparing it to strlen result.
        Reported by Mark Frost.

        * tar.c (main): Zero out label_pattern before compiling in
        regular expressions, instead of using uninitialized memory.
        Reported by Holger Teutsch.

        * tar.c [!FNM_PATHNAME]: Include fnmatch.h only if unistd.h fails
        to define this symbol.
        Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Eddy ?, John
        Oleynick and Richard Lloyd.

        * buffer.c, diffarch.c, rtapelib.c, update.c:
        Include <sys/io/trioctl.h> before <sys/mtio.h>, if it exists.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * tar.c (options): Use defined OPTION_* constants instead of
        anonymous numbers for long options not having a short option form.

        * rmt.h [!MTIOCTOP]: Do not define RMTIOCTL, so __rmt_ioctl
        will not be called if it has not been compiled in rtapelib.c.

        * tar.h: Add CMD_TOO_MANY.
        * tar.c (main): Use CMD_TOO_MANY, and get rid of badopt label.
        Reported by David J. MacKenzie.

        * tar.c (usage): New name for describe().  Rewritten with
        better help formatting and more logical grouping of options.
        Accepts an exit status argument.  Callers adapted.
        Reported by Richard O'Neill.

1994-07-20  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Reported by Elmar Heeb, Jeff Prothero and John Clark.

        * tar.c (main): Declare version_string locally.
        * version.c: Deleted.
        * Makefile.in: Adjusted.

1994-07-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.h: Merge "port.h" towards the beginning of tar.h.
        Include <stdio.h> and <errno.h>, and define errno if needed.
        * *.c: Do not include "port.h" anymore after "tar.h", do not
        include <stdio.h>, <errno.h> nor <sys/types.h>.  Also move
        "tar.h" as the first file included in every module.  This
        would solve, among other things, the problem of RE_DUP_MAX
        being redefined by <limits.h>, when included after "regex.h".
        * port.h: Deleted.
        * Makefile.in: Adjusted.
        Reported by Alan Modra, Christian T. Dum, Dimitris Fousekis,
        John David Anglin, Matthew Braun, Michael Maass, Richard Lloyd
        and Stefan Skoglund.

        * create.c (dump_file): Do not cast alloca result to (char *).
        The problem reported was that alloca result was seen as int, but
        with the changes just made, alloca should be properly declared.
        Reported by Bryant Fujimoto and Michael Kubik.

1994-07-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * create.c, extract.c [HAVE_UTIME_H]: Instead of _POSIX_VERSION,
        for choosing to include <utime.h>.
        Reported by Carl Swanson and Thomas Krebs.

1994-07-05  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * tar.c: Replace DEF_AR_FILE with DEFAULT_ARCHIVE, replace
        DEFBLOCKING with DEFAULT_BLOCKING.

        * rtapelib.c: Replace "??'" by "?? '" at two places in a
        comment, so avoiding Pyramid's DC/OSx compiler to complain about
        ANSI trigraph sequences.  Even comments can trigger bugs, now!
        Reported by Mark Frost.

        * tar.h: Declare valloc.
        * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Remove declaration for valloc.

        * testpad.c: Deleted.
        * tar.h: Do not include "testpad.h" anymore.
        * Makefile.in: Delete testpad matters.

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Inside case 'n', strcpy into r then
        assign r to p, instead of strcpy'ing directly into p, for making
        the module const clean.

1994-07-03  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        Rename a few variables to avoid shadowing variables or functions:
        * list.c (print_header): Change name to quoted_name.
        * buffer.c (child_open): Change pipe to local_pipe.
        * extract.c (extract_archive): Change namelen to namelen_bis.
        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_open): Change system to remote.

        * tar.c (options): Add two missing arguments to getoldopt
        call, NULL is not necessarily implied on all systems.

        * list.c (print_header): Add a few missing long specification
        in formats.
        * diffarch.c (compare_chunk, diff_sparse_files): Idem.
        * port.c (msg, msg_perror): Idem.

        * tar.h: Include prototypes for all functions which call from
        one module to another.  Declare voidstar (use it everywhere
        instead of PTR).  Move in the include <sys/stat.h> from
        <port.h>, and the include of option.h from tar.c and
        getoldopt.c, waiting for a better solution for all these things.
        * port.c: Removed PTR declaration and including <sys/stat.h>.
        * getoldopt.c, tar.c: Remove including "option.h".

1994-07-02  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * *: Protoized all function headers.  Added static to
        functions which can take it.  Add many const specifiers.  Remove
        unused variables.

        * port.c (xmalloc): Delete function, do not mask the true one.
        * port.c (ck_malloc): Use xmalloc, waiting for annihilation.
        * port.c (ck_realloc): Use xrealloc, waiting for annihilation.
        * *: Begin switching from ck_malloc (or even pure malloc) to
        xmalloc.  Same for ck_realloc (pure realloc) to xrealloc.
        Doing this correctly is a delicate matter, which I'll continue
        without reporting it anymore, while doing other modifications.

        * *: Replace msg and msg_perror calls by TARERROR macro calls.
        Capitalize first word of all error messages, remove ending
        punctuation or newline.  Systematically avoid contractions for
        `Cannot' and `Could not'.  Always write `WARNING:' all in capitals.
        * tar.h: Declare TARERROR as calling error().  Rename
        variable tar to program_name.
        * tar.c (main, options), buffer.c (child_open), port.c
        (msg, msg_perror), gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rename variable tar to
        program_name.
        * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Remove a spurious repetition of
        program_name in error message.

1994-07-01  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * buffer.c, create.c extract.c, gnu.c, list.c,
        names.c, rmt.c, tar.c, update.c: Remove all (void)
        prefixes to function calls.  There are limits to lint clutter.

1994-06-30  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * port.h: Remove definition of const.  Let configure do it.

        * tar.h, rmt.c, rtapelib.c, version.c, testpad.c: Add a block
        for including <config.h> or "config.h".  If "tar.h" was included
        everywhere, the block will only be needed there.

        * *.[ch]: Reindented to GNU standards (they were not far).
        Got rid of all `* ' left prefixes in comments and refilled them.
        There is still a lot of cosmetic changes needed everywhere.
        I will not report them any more, doing them along the way of
        other things in the future.

        * Makefile.in: New file.

        * Split distribution into a few subdirectories, for easing
        maintainance.

        * Taking over maintenance duties.

1993-08-31  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

1993-07-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (libdir): Use standard GNU value --
        $(exec_prefix)/lib, not /etc.

1993-07-08  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (installdirs, configure, config.status,
        Makefile): New targets.

1993-06-14  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile.in (.c.o): Put -I. before -I$(srcdir), and make
        $(CFLAGS) last.

1993-05-22  The King  <elvis@graceland.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * extract.c (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info): Print
        mode in octal, not in decimal.
        Reported by Scott S. Bertilson.

1993-03-26  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

1993-03-25  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * version.c: Released version 1.11.2.

        * Makefile.in (dist): Do the link differently; some of the
        files have changed filesystems which makes it more complex.

        * Makefile.in (dist, shar): Use gzip instead of compress.

        * create.c (dump_file): Test for curdev == -1, not curdev < 0.
        Some losing NFS systems give negative device numbers sometimes.
        Reported by Thorbjxrn Willoch.

1993-03-19  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Write the global volume number to the
        volno file before running the info script, so that the script
        can look at it.

1993-03-17  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (describe, long_options): Changed --compress-block to
        --block-compress.
        (options): Fixed f_compress_block sanity check error message
        to give the correct name of the option.

1993-03-16  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * extract.c (extract_archive): case LF_DIR: Do chown when
        necessary.  Don't bother jumping to set_filestat for
        f_modified; repeat the chmod code here.  Replace `break',
        deleted on 2 September 1992.

        * tar.c (describe, long_options, options): Added gzip options
        and use-compress-program option.
        * tar.h: Added new compression options.
        * buffer.c (child_open, open_archive): Use new compression options.

        * create.c (start_header): Only mask off high bits when
        creating old-style archives.
        * list.c (decode_header): Mask off potentially misleading
        high bits from the mode when reading headers.
        Reported by Paul Eggert.

1993-03-15  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Put arguments in the right
        order for error message.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the last byte was null, we
        didn't write it out.

        * gnu.c, create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c, list.c:
        Replace malloc calls with ck_malloc and realloc with ck_realloc.
        Reported by Jonathan Kamens.

        * tar.c (describe): Improve doc for -L.

        * tar.c (name_next): Don't apply exclusion to explicitly named
        files.

        * tar.c (long_options, describe): Added new-volume-script as
        an alias for info-script.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): LF_DUMPDIR case; misplaced paren.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): extract_file case, first if,
        include space for null in namelen computation.

        * extract.c (extract_sparse_file): Use value returned by write
        to properly create error message.

        * create.c (create_archive): Don't assume we have anything to
        dump.

        * buffer.c (open_archive): Set current_file_name for the
        volume header so that verbose listings work properly.

        * Makefile.in (realclean): Added getdate.c.

        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If exactly 26 elements in
        sparsearray, only 25 were written.
        Reported by Jim Murray.

        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): If the file ends with a zero
        block, the last byte was not written.  This is fixed in create
        rather than extract: if amidst_data is not set at EOF, put out a
        block with just the last byte of the file.
        Reported by Jim Murray.

1993-01-14  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@kropotkin.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Include fnmatch.h after port.h to make sure we get our FNM_*
        (e.g. on HPUX 8).

1992-11-24  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (addname), gnu.c (read_dir_file) [HAVE_GETCWD]: Instead of USG.

        * port.h, rmt.h [HAVE_STRING_H]: Instead of USG.

        * port.h: Add dir header decls.
        * create.c, gnu.c: Use SYSNDIR, SYSDIR, and NDIR
        instead of BSD42 and USG.  Rename DP_NAMELEN to NLENGTH.
        Use `struct dirent' instead of `struct direct'.
        * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Remove dir header decls.

1992-11-18  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Change FNM_TARPATH to FNM_LEADING_DIR to match change
        in fnmatch.[ch].

1992-10-02  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (describe): Fix some tab alignments.

        (like MS-DOS).

        * diffarch.c (diff_sparse_files): Add missing arg to fprintf calls.

        * extract.c (extract_archive, restore_saved_dir_info),
        buffer.c (child_open), list.c (decode_header, print_header):
        Delete unused vars.

        * port.c [__MSDOS__]: Have strstr, rename, and mkdir.  Don't
        define ck_pipe.

        * buffer.c, tar.c (init_volume_number, closeout_volume_number),
        create.c (write_long):  Declare as void, not int, since they
        don't return a value.

1992-09-22  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (close_archive): Removed leftover `break' from when
        this was a switch.

1992-09-22  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c, port.h: indented #pragma directives with 1 space.

1992-09-18  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * All source files: re indented using GNU indent.

        * rtapelib.c (__rmt_read): Only read the amount left in the
        buffer; otherwise a broken rmt server (which puts too much
        data out) could overwrite past our buffer.

1992-09-17  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * configure.in: Check for getpwuid and getgrgid.
        Reported by J.T. Conklin.

        * create.c: Throughout, use struct utimbuf rather than array
        of longs.
        Reported by J.T. Conklin and Michael Ellis.

        * Makefile.in (SRC3, AUX): Move alloca.c to SRC3.
        (OBJ3): Add @ALLOCA@.

        * Makefile.in (getdate.c): Look in srcdir for getdate.y.

        * buffer.c (close_archive): We can't check WTERMSIG
        meaningfully unless we already know tha WIFSIGNALED is true.
        (There is no guarantee it WTERMSIG will return zero when
        WIFSIGNALED is false.)
        * port.c (rmdir, mkdir): Check WIFSIGNALED rather than
        WTERMSIG.

        * Makefile.in (getdate.c): Use $(YACC) instead of `yacc'.
\f

        * version.c: Released version 1.11.1.

        * Makefile (AUX): Added NEWS.

        * Makefile.in (rmt): Added $(LIBS).

        * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Null terminate link name for
        losing archives missing it.

        * configure.in: Added tests for libraries needed on Solaris.

        * Makefile.in: added target and rule for getdate.c: getdate.y;
        some makes don't have one built in.

1992-09-14  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options, main): Advise use of --help rather than
        +help.
        Reported by J.T. Conklin.

        * create.c (write_long): Using hstat here is a Bad Idea, and
        totally unnecessary at that.

        * list.c (read_header): Compute both signed and normal
        checksums.
        Reported by Robert E. Brown.

        * diffarch.c, buffer.c: Declare valloc as void* rather than
        char*.
        Reported by Robert E. Brown.

        * Makefile.in: Don't install info files.

        * port.h: Undefine index and rindex if necessary; some
        string.h's define them for us.

        * tar.c (addname): Missing braces after if.
        * gnu.c (read_dir_file): Missing braces after if.

        * names.c: Add include of <stdio.h>,

        * create.c (start_header): Set current_file_name so that
        print_header, used for verbose create, works properly.
        (dump_file): Set current_link_name when setting up symlink
        and hardlink records.
        Reported by Robert Crowe.

        * configure.in: Define BSD in the presence of /sdmach or
        /../../mach.
        Reported by Robert E. Brown.

        * configure.in: Check for malloc was scrambled.

1992-09-11  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * fnmatch.[ch]: New files.
        * wildmat.c: File removed.
        * tar.c: Include fnmatch.h and use fnmatch instead of wildmat.
        * Makefile.in, makefile.pc: Replace wildmat.o(bj) with fnmatch.

1992-09-10  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c, tar.c: Remove redundant decls of getenv, rindex.

        * Makefile.in: Add uninstall target.
        Define libdir instead of hardcoding /etc for installing rmt.

1992-09-10  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * list.c (read_header): On second thought, that doesn't work
        either, so just store the names in malloced areas.  Sigh.

        * NEWS: New file.
        * README: Removed things that belong in NEWS; point to it.

        * list.c (read_header): current_file_name and
        current_link_name need to be set to the arrays in head rather
        than header; header is the actual read buffer and will change.

        * extract.c (extract_archive):
        * buffer.c (new_volume): `#' directives need to start in
        column 1.
        Reported by J.T. Conklin.
\f
1992-09-09  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile, configure.in: Arrange to use local malloc on HP-UX.

        * port.h Use the canonical Autoconf chunk for alloca instead
        of just looking for gcc.

1992-09-09  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.h: If compiling with gcc, use __builtin_alloca.

1992-09-08  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * extract.c: Removed long name support from here.
        * list.c (read_header): Understand and skip longname/longlink
        headers here.  Names for current file are stored in new global
        variables.  All source files except create.c changed to refer
        to current_file_name and current_link_name instead of fields
        directly from the current header.

1992-09-03  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c (write_long): New function.

        new write_long function instead of mangling when the link
        target is too long.
        (start_header): Use write_long instead of mangling for long
        names.
        * extract.c (saverec): Recognize LF_LONGNAME and LF_LONGLINK.

1992-09-02  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * mangle.c: This is now deprecated; retain extract_mangle for
        backward compatibility.

        * list.c (print_header): Prevent printing 0 when the gid or uid is
        null.
        Reported by Chris Arthur.

        * list.c (decode_header): Use the gid field when the gid is empty,
        and similarly for uid.
        Reported by Chris Arthur.

        * extract.c: saved_dir_info, saved_dir_info_head: new type and
        var.
        (extract_archive): When extracting directories, now save info
        in saved_dir_info_head.
        (restore_saved_dir_info): New function.
        * list.c (read_and): Call restore_saved_dir_info at the end of
        the run.
        Reported by Chris Arthur.

1992-08-31  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c (create_archive): If there are no names specified,
        write nothing on the archive instead of dumping ".".

        * buffer.c (open_archive): Useful error message.

        * tar.c, tar.h: Recognize f_atime_preserve.
        * create.c (dump_file): Implement f_atime_preserve.

        * rmt.h (_remdev): Don't require /dev/ to be in remote archive
        names; obey new force-local flag.
        * tar.c, tar.h: Implement new force-local flag.
        Reported by Roland Schemers III.

        * tar.c (describe): same-owner and same-order were confused.

        * create.c (dump_file): Check for toplevel had sense reversed.

        * buffer.c (new_archive): Don't free old_name...when these
        come from the command line, they aren't malloced, and it isn't
        important to save this trivial amount of memory.

        * tar.h: replace ar_file with ar_files, n_ar_files,
        cur_ar_files.
        * buffer.c (open_archive): multi-volume compressed archives
        never worked; give an appropriate error.  Change open of
        ar_file to open of ar_files[0].
        (writeerror, readerror, flush_archive): use
        ar_files[cur_ar_file] instead of ar_file.
        (new_archive): Necessary changes to support ar_files.
        * tar.c (options): handle multiple tape drive arguments.

1992-08-28  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * list.c (decode_header), create.c (start_header), tar.h (TMAGIC):
        Undo djm's changes below; tar does not support the final
        Posix.1 format; it's bad to make it look like it does.

1992-07-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.h: Try to prevent redefining major.
        * port.c [minix]: Implies HAVE_BZERO.  Fix a typo.

        * list.c (decode_header): Recognize the final POSIX.1 magic as
        well as the early draft magic for ustar.
        * create.c (start_header): Create a final POSIX.1 magic string
        instead of an early draft string for ustar.
        * tar.h (TMAGIC): Remove the trailing blanks.

        * rmt.c, rtapelib.c: Use POSIX and STDC headers if available.
        * rmt.h: Declare the external functions defined in rtapelib.c.

1992-07-14  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * pathmax.h: New file.
        * port.h: Include it.
        * create.c (create_archive): Allocate PATH_MAX instead of
        NAME_MAX for temporary buffer so we don't have to figure out
        what NAME_MAX is (portably).

1992-07-10  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): write_dir_file has no argument.

1992-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c (rename): If unlinking the source at the end fails,
        unlink the destination instead to avoid leaving a mess.

1992-07-03  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c, diffarch.c, update.c, rtapelib.c [HAVE_SYS_MTIO_H]:
        Instead of NO_MTIO.

        * port.c, tar.h [HAVE_FOO]: Instead of FOO_MISSING.

1992-06-23  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@goldman.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * rmt.c: Add #ifdefs to work on ISC.

1992-05-20  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.h: Define major, minor, makedev if the system doesn't.

1992-05-13  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c (add_dir_name): Store legitimate value into
        dir_contents when get_dir_contents returns NULL.

1992-05-07  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@apple-gunkies.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c (add_dir_name): Check for return of NULL from
        get_dir_contents; see djm's change of Fri Jul 26 01:12:58 1991.

1992-05-04  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.h: Make comments for option names say -- instead of +.

1992-04-29  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c, tar.t: Added +volno-file option.
        buffer.c (init_volume_number, closeout_volume_number): New functions.
        tar.c (main): Call new functions in the right place.

        * buffer.c (fl_write, fl_read): Mod to allow losing tape
        drives which use short counts to indicate end of tape
        correctly handle the multi-tape stuff.  The read half won't
        co-exist with f_reblock; there's no way to fix that, of
        course.

        * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +show-omitted-dirs.
        list.c (read_and): Implemented show-omitted-dirs.
        Reported by Karl Berry.

        * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +checkpoint.
        buffer.c (fl_read, fl_write): Implemented +checkpoint lazily.

        * create.c (dump_file): Added toplevel argument; some devices
        can be negative, so the old method was bogus.  All callers
        changed.
        Reported by Max Hailperin.

        * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +ignore-failed-read.
        create.c (dump_file): Implemented +ignore-failed-read.
        Reported by Bob Mende Pie.

        * create.c (finish_sparse_file): Commented out debugging printf.

        * tar.c, tar.h: Added new option +remove-files to delete files
        after they are added to the archive.
        create.c (dump_file): Implemented +remove-files for
        everything but directories.  I don't think they need it.

1992-04-28  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c: (dump_file): save_name needs to be set equal to p,
        not something inside the header, because the header changes at
        the first buffer flush.

1992-04-24  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c: Djm incorrectly moved the include of port.h to
        precede the include of sys/file.h; restored.

        * tar.c (main): Cases CMD_EXTRACT and CMD_LIST: declare error
        string with const.

        * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): Leave if around
        write_dir_file in place.

1992-04-22  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * rtapelib.c: SIGTYPE -> RETSIGTYPE.

1992-03-09  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * rtapelib.c: Reformat and make comments more complete.

1992-03-05  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@nutrimat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (describe): Document long options as starting with --.

1992-01-23  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options): Check get_date return value for error indication.

1991-12-24  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c, gnu.c, extract.c, create.c, port.h, rmt.h [HAVE_UNISTD_H,
        _POSIX_VERSION]: Instead of POSIX ifdefs.

1991-12-20  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * testpad.c (main): flush stderr so perror and fprintf
        cooperate right.

1991-12-18  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.h [MAJOR_IN_MKDEV, MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS]: To find where to
        get major, minor and makedev.
        * create.c, list.c, update.c: Don't check USG to include
        sys/sysmacros.h.

1991-12-12  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * mangle.c (extract_mangle): Correctly null terminate name of
        link target.

1991-11-21  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@nutrimat>

        * create.c (dump_file, at start of ISREG output loop): use
        filename from header instead of real name to make sure that we
        get the mangled version and not one that is too long and
        overflows buffers.

1991-11-16  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.h: Use new criteria for STDC version of msg.

1991-11-02  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c [USG]: Use DIRENT instead of NDIR to select
        between dirent.h and ndir.h.

        * port.c [FOO_MISSING]: Instead of WANT_FOO, to make sharing code
        and configure script with other utilities easier.
        [VPRINTF_MISSING, DOPRNT_MISSING]: Instead of FOO_MSG, to select
        error reporting routines.

1991-08-29  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (long_options).  Fixed info-script long option.
        Reported by Eric Norum.

1991-08-26  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@pogo.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * configure, Makefile.in: Only put $< in Makefiles if VPATH
        is being used, because older makes don't understand it.

1991-08-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c: Indent '#pragma alloca' so non-ANSI compilers
        don't choke on it.

1991-08-14  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * list.c (UGSWIDTH): Increase from 11 (sort of like Unix tar) to
        18, so that with normal user and group names of <= 8 chars,
        the columns never shift in a tar -t listing.

1991-08-02  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * Makefile.in (dist): Include texinfo.tex and tar.info*.
        (install): Install tar.info*.
        * configure: Set INSTALLDATA.

        * configure: Create config.status.  Remove it and Makefile if
        interrupted while creating them.

        * configure: Check for +srcdir etc. arg and look for
        Makefile.in in that directory.  Set VPATH if srcdir is not `.'.
        * Makefile.in: Add `prefix'.
        (tar.info): New target.

1991-07-30  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * configure [FTIME_MISSING]: Instead of NEED_TZSET.

1991-07-29  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wombat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

1991-07-27  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wombat.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * rmt.h: Clean up ifdefs.

        * makefile.pc: Fix typo.
        * port.h [__MSDOS__]: Instead of MSDOS.
        [__MSDOS__]: Define off_t.  Include io.h and not sys/param.h.
        [__TURBOC__]: Use void * and don't define const.

1991-07-26  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@bleen>

        * buffer.c: Rename `eof' to `hit_eof' to avoid conflict with an
        MSDOS function.
        * gnu.c (get_dir_contents): Return NULL, not "\0\0\0\0", on error.
        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): Open files in binary mode.
        Don't use or free a non-malloc'd return value from get_dir_contents.
        * msd_dir.c [__TURBOC__]: Include stdlib.h.
        * rmt.h: lseek returns off_t, not long.

        * tar.c (describe): -X is +exclude-from, not +exclude.
        (names_notfound): Free memory only if amiga, not !unix.

        * tar.h, tar.c: Add +null option to make -T read
        null-terminated filenames (such as those produced by GNU find
        -print0), and disable -C option.
        This guarantees that odd filenames will get archived.
        * tar.c (read_name_from_file): New function.
        (name_next): Call it instead of fgets.
        From David J. MacKenzie.

1991-07-24  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c [_AIX]: Declare alloca.

        * buffer.c (open_archive): Check for successful open before,
        not after, fstatting the fd.

1991-07-23  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * configure: Only define BSD42 if sys/file.h exists.
        If alloca is missing and /usr/ucblib exists (SVR4), use it
        instead of -lPW.

        * port.h [!__STDC__]: #define const.
        * gnu.c (dirent_cmp): Fix args to agree with ANSI C prototype.
        * create.c: Declare ck_realloc.
        * gnu.c, diffarch.c: Move check for symlinks to after port.h include.

1991-07-20  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * msd_dir.[ch]: Use POSIX-style `struct dirent' instead of
        `struct direct'.
        * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Adjust callers.

1991-07-18  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@bleen>

        * port.c (ck_malloc, ck_realloc): Return PTR, not char *.
        * gnu.c, create.c, tar.c: Fix decls.

        * port.c: Don't use the preprocessor to guess missing
        functions on Unix; let configure do it.
        [WANT_GETWD] (getwd): Function removed; not needed because
        getcwd is used if needed.
        * gnu.c, tar.c [POSIX]: Use getcwd.

        * rtapelib.c: Use SIGTYPE instead of testing SIGNAL_VOID.
        Default to void (more common these days) instead of int.

        * tar.c, gnu.c, mangle.c: Remove VOIDSTAR defn.  Use PTR instead.
        * port.h: Define PTR.

        * gnu.c, tar.c [__MSDOS__ || USG]: Remove incorrect getcwd decl.
        [!POSIX]: Put correct one in port.h.

        * tar.c (describe): Print on stdout instead of stderr; it's
        not so much a usage message (since you have to ask for it
        explicitly) as on-line help, and you really need to be able to
        page it because it's more than a screen long.

        * Make #ifdefs for sys/file.h or fcntl.h, directory header,
        sys/mtio.h consistent between files.  Use NO_MTIO instead of
        tricks with USG and HAVE_MTIO and NO_RMTIOCTL.
        * Move decls of ANSI C and POSIX functions to port.h and
        use standard headers to declare them if available
        [STDC_HEADERS or POSIX].
        * Add many missing function declarations and return types.
        * Some places used __MSDOS__, some MSDOS; standardize on __MSDOS__.
        * Change S_IF macros to S_IS for POSIX.
        * port.h: Define appropriate S_IS macros if missing.
        * port.h [POSIX]: Rename macros for testing exit status to conform to
        POSIX; use the system's versions if available.
        * Use POSIX PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN and MAXNAMLEN.
        * port.h: Define PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX.
        * create.c, gnu.c, tar.c: Use ck_malloc and free instead of
        auto arrays of size PATH_MAX or NAME_MAX, since with pathconf
        they might not be constants.
        * Move all definitions of O_* to port.h to reduce redundancy.
        * Make all source files that now need to include port.h do so.
        * port.c: Remove #undefs of WANT_* so you can use -DWANT_*
        when compiling, instead of having to edit port.c.
        [WANT_DUMB_GET_DATE] (get_date): Function removed.
        Even systems without bison can get bison output and compile it.
        [WANT_STRING] (index, rindex, bcopy, bzero, bcmp): Functions
        removed; the translation is now done by macros in port.h.
        * wildmat.c (wildmat): Use POSIX.2 '!' instead of '^' to negate
        character classes.

1991-07-15  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * testpad.c (main): Return type void.

        * port.c [WANT_STRING]: Don't include memory.h if NO_MEMORY_H.

        * create.c (dump_file) [AIX]: Fix typo, `allocate' for `alloca'.
        * gnu.c (collect_and_sort_names): Move misplaced brace out of #ifdef.
        Reported by Minh Tran-Le.

        * configure: Also look in sys/signal.h for signal decl.

1991-07-10  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Rename rtape_server.c to rmt.c and rtape_lib.c to rtapelib.c.

        * configure, Makefile.in: $(INSTALLPROG) -> $(INSTALL).

1991-07-09  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Most files: Refer to GPL version 2.
        * COPYING: Use version 2.

        * port.c [__TURBOC__] (utime): New function.

        * xmalloc: New function (just calls ck_malloc), for alloca.c
        and bison.simple (in getdate.y output).

        * Makefile.in (AUX): Include alloca.c and tcexparg.c, a
        command line globber for Turbo C.

1991-07-08  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * testpad.c: Open and write to testpad.h instead of stdout,
        because some MS-DOS makes (Borland's at least) can't do
        redirection in commands.
        * Makefile.in: Don't redirect testpad output.

1991-07-08  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (fl_read): Missing \n in printf.

1991-07-08  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c, extract.c, gnu.c, diffarch.c, tar.c: Comment out
        unused variables.

        * tar.c (options): Cast get_date arg to VOIDSTAR instead of
        `struct timeb *', since on some non-BSD systems the latter is
        undefined.

1991-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Replace Makefile with configure, Makefile.in, and makefile.pc.
        Update README with current compilation instructions.

        * port.c [WANT_RENAME] (rename): New function.

1991-07-03  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * testpad.c (main): Avoid warning from some compilers on array
        address.

        * rtape_server.c (sys_errlist): Should be declared extern.
        Reported by Stuart Kemp.

1991-07-01  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Release of version 1.10; appropriate changes to README.

        * create.c: Removed printf's about sparse files.

1991-06-21  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * list.c (skip_extended_headers): Userec was being called in
        the wrong place.

1991-06-20  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.h [STDC_MSG]: Use ANSI prototypes for msg and msg_perror,
        even if BSD42 is also.

        * Makefile: Replace DESTDIR with bindir.
        (install): Don't install tar.texinfo.  There's no standard
        place for texinfo files, and /usr/local/man is inappropriate.
        Add TAGS, distclean, and realclean targets and SHELL= line.

        * version.c: Move old change history to bottom of ChangeLog.

1991-06-12  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * testpad.c: New file to determine if we need special padding
        in struct header in tar.h.

        * tar.h (struct header): include padding if necessary, include
        testpad.h.

        * Makefile: rules to create testpad.h, etc.

1991-05-22  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options): -L takes an argument.

        * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): add /usr/bin/nsh to the list of
        remote shell programs.

        already at one.

        * port.c (strstr): Looking for null string should return zero.

        * tar.c (options): -l doesn't take an argument

        * Makefile: Minor fix for SGI 4D defines.
        Reported by Andrew Torda.

        * rtape_server.c (main.c): For 386/AIX.  I'm suspicious about this
        one.
        * create.c (dump_file): For hidden files on AIX.
        gnu.c (collect_and_sort_name, get_dir_contents): AIX hidden file mod.
        Reported by Minh Tran-Le.

        * tar.c: (name_next): Allow -C inside a file list given to -T.
        Reported by David Taylor.

        * Makefile: Comment describing presence of USE_REXEC.

        * extract.c (extract_archive, case LF_SPARSE): zero check for
        last element on numbytes needs to look at value after
        converted from octal.

        * port.c [HAVE_STRSTR]: Check it, instead of always demanding strstr.
        Makefile: Comment describing presence of HAVE_STRSTR option.

1991-05-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c (get_date): Renamed from getdate, to avoid SVR4 conflict.
        * tar.c: Call get_date instead of getdate.

1991-05-10  Noah Friedman  <friedman@nutrimat>

        * README: updated for 1.10 beta release.

1991-04-02  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@godwin>

        * create.c (dump_file): HPUX's st_blocks is in 1024 byte units
        instead of 512 like the rest of the world, so I special cased
        it.
        * tar.c: Undo Noah's changes.

1991-04-01  Noah Friedman  <friedman@wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * regex.c, regex.o: New links.
        * tar.c: include regex.h.
        * Makefile (OBJ2): Add regex.o.
        (regex.o, tar.o): Depend on regex.h

        * Added files alloca.c and xmalloc.c.

1991-03-23  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c [HPUX]: Define WANT_VALLOC.

1991-03-15  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@geech.ai.mit.edu>

        * rtape_lib.c [USG && !HAVE_MTIO]: Define NO_RMTIOCTL automatically.
        (_rmt_rexec): Temporarily re-open stdin and stdout to
        /dev/tty, to guarantee that rexec() can prompt and read the
        login name and password from the user.
        * Makefile: Mention -DUSE_REXEC.
        Reported by Pascal Meheut.

1991-03-08  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.h, Makefile [HAVE_SIZE_T]:  Might be useful for some people.

        * gnu.c: lstat->stat define where appropriate

        * buffer.c (fl_write): keep track of amount written for +totals.
        * tar.c, tar.h: set flag f_totals from +totals option.
        * tar.h (f_totals, tot_written): new variables.
        * tar.c (main): print total written with CMD_CREATE.

        * tar.c (main): return appropriate exit status

1991-01-17  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * port.c: Remove a spurious `+' between functions (a remnant
        of a context diff, apparently).

1991-01-09  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@pogo.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c (where_is_data): Rewritten to be better, and then
        #ifdef-ed out.
        (deal_with_sparse): Severly pruned.  Now we write or don't
        write only complete blocks, not worrying about partial blocks.
        This simplifies calculations, removes bugs, and elides the
        second scan through the block.  The first was zero_record, the
        second was where_is_data.

1991-01-07  Michael I Bushnell  <mib@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c (deal_with_sparse): Second computation (for short
        reads) of numbytes increment had subtraction backwards.
        Need to handle calling where_is_data better when we did a
        short read (it might go past the end of the read), also, set
        sparsearray[...].offset in this case too.

1991-01-04  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c: Return a special error code if the archive
        you're trying to read starts with a different label than
        the one specified on the command line.

1991-01-02  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c: Prepend the current directory to the gnu_dumpfile, so that
        -C's won't affect where the output goes. (sigh.)

1990-12-18  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c: Don't complain if the gnudumpfile we're reading info
        from doesn't exist.

        * create.c: Write out gnudumpfile after finishing writing the archive.

        * tar.c: Add +exclude FNAME, and make +exclude-from do what +exclude
        used to.
        * Make +version an operation, not an option.
        * Add +confirmation alias for +interactive.

1990-12-04  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (check_exclude): Don't let MUMBLE match MUMBLE.c or
        fooMUMBLE but only foo/MUMBLE.

        * mangle.c: New file.
        * create.c, extract.c: According changes.

        * extract.c: Don't complain when extracting an already existing link.
        Don't complain when extracting a directory iff it already exists.
        Don't ad u+wx to directories when running as root.
        Reported by Chip Salzenberg.

        * gnu.c: Make +listed-incremental work.
        Reported by Chip Salzenberg.

        * port.c: Add the F_FREESP emulation of the ftruncate syscall.

1990-11-21  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        Remove excess \n from lots of msg() calls.

1990-11-19  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Rename +volume to +label.

1990-11-16  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * tar.c (describe): Include the default values for -b and -f
        (as set in the Makefile) in the message.

1990-11-15  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Do the utime() call before the
        chmod() call, 'cuz some versons of utime() trash the file's mode
        bits.

        * list.c (read_and): Call do_something on volume headers and
        multivol files even if they don't match the names we're looking
        for, etc.

1990-11-06  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c (un-quote-string): Don't try to write a null if there's
        already one there.

1990-11-01  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (new_volume): fflush(msg_file) before reading for
        confirmation on new volume.  On EOF or error, print error msg and
        abort.

1990-10-29  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * getdate.y: Use new version of getdate().

        * tar.c (name_add): Use sizeof(char *) instead of sizeof(int)

        * README: Give the correct return address.

1990-10-25  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        rtape_lib.c [NO_RMTIOCTL]: Instead of RMTIOCTL, so it is on by default.

        rmt.h [NO_REMOTE]: Add _isrmt() #define.

        gnu.c: Add forward reference for add_dir_name().
\f
1990-10-16  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        Version 1.09 --- New -G file implementation of gnu-dump stuff.

        * tar.c (name_add): Get the calls to ck_realloc and ck_malloc right.

1990-10-11  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c: Fix A couple of typos.

1990-09-19  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * getdate.y [USG && !DAYLIGHT_MISSING] (ftime): Use `daylight'.

1990-09-17  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Don't use a passed char* for the
        file name, use skipcrud+head->header.name, just like everything
        else does.  This means that gnu_restore will still work with
        small buffers, etc.

1990-09-13  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (add_exclude): Don't bus-error if the exclude file doesn't
        end with a newline.

1990-09-09  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile (dist): Remove .fname when done.

1990-09-06  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mti.edu>

        * gnu.c (gnu_restore): Rember to skip_file() over the directory
        contents, even if we don't have to do anything with them.

        * create.c, extract.c, diffarch.c: Free sparsearray after we're
        done with it.

1990-09-04  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile: Include gnu.c in dist

        * gnu.c: Move add_dir above read_dir_file so that cc doesn't
        complain about add_dir returning void.

1990-09-02  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * getdate.y: Declare some more functions and add storage
        classes where omitted to shut compiler up.
        [USG] (ftime): Don't use extern var `daylight'; appears that
        some systems don't have it.

1990-08-29  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * getdate.y (lookup): In the code that allows `Aug.' to be
        recognized as `Aug', don't chop off the final `.' from words
        like `a.m.', so they can be recognized.

1990-08-16  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (open_archive): If -O, write verbosity to stderr
        instead of stdout.

1990-08-10  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * getdate.y: Handle an explicit DST in the input string.
        Reported by Per Foreby.

1990-07-16  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: rename -g -G +incremental, +listed-imcremental, etc.

1990-07-13  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Make +newer and +newer-mtime work according to their names.

        * gnu.c: If +newer or +newer-mtime, use the time specified on the
        command line.

        * buffer.c, create.c: Add test to see if dimwit is trying to
        archive the archive.

        * tar.c (long_options[]): Re-ordered, so that groups of similar
        options are next to each other...  I think.

        (describe): Modified to more closely reflect reality.

1990-07-06  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Add compile-time option for SYS V (?) style
        tape-drive names /dev/rmt/{n}[lmh]

        * tar.c: Fix getopt-style stuff so that -C always works correctly.

        * gnu.c, tar.c: Make filename to -G optional.

        * {all over}: Replace some fprintf(stderr...) calls with calls
        to msg().

        * port.c: Make -Dmumble_MSG option on command line override
        internal assumptions.

        * Makefile: Mention -Dmumble_MSG options

1990-07-06  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@apple-gunkies>

        * tar.c (options): Don't change `c' if it is 0, as getopt now
        handles that internally.

1990-07-02 Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * gnu.c (new file): Moved all the f_gnudump stuff here where we
        can keep track of it easier.  Also made -G take a file name where
        it stores the inode information about directories so that we can
        detect moved directores.

        * create.c (dump_file): Changed slightly to work with the new
        f_gnudump.

        * tar.c: Moved the f_gnudump stuff to gnu.c

        * tar.c, extract.c: Added the +do-chown option, which forces tar
        to always try to chown the created files to their original owners.

        * version.c: New version 1.09

1990-06-24  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c: Change ifdefs for directory library header
        selection to be like the ones in tar.c.
        * Makefile [Xenix]: Link with -ldir to get the dirent.h
        directory library.

1990-06-07  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile, buffer.c, diffarch.c [HAVE_MTIO]: Instead of MTIO, as
        SCO Xenix defines 'MTIO' for an incompatible tape driver system in
        a file included by termio.h.
        * tar.h: Don't define size_t for Xenix.

1990-06-05  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c (dump_file): Only print the
        "... is on a different filesystem..." if f_verbose is on.
        also add a case for S_IFSOCK and treat it like a FIFO.
        (Not sure if that's the right thing to do or not, but it's better
        than all those Unknown File Type msgs.)

1990-05-31  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c [sparc]: Use instead of SPARC since the lowercase version
        is defined, and the uppercase one isn't.

1990-05-22  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c (ck_malloc): if size==0 pretend size=1
        (ck_realloc): if(!ptr) call ck_malloc instead.

1990-05-15  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * diffarch.c (diff_archive): If not f_absolute_paths, and attempt
        to open a file listed in the archive fails, try /filename also.
        This will allow diff to open the wrong file if both /filename and
        filename exist, but there's nothing we can do about that.

1990-05-11  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile: Describe new -DMTIO option.

        * buffer.c, diffarch.c: Change ifdefs slightly, so that -DMTIO
        will include sys/mtio.h even if USG is defined.  This is for HPUX
        and similar BSD/USG crossovers.

1990-05-08  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * update.c (update_archive): Call reset_eof() when appropriate.

        * buffer.c (reset_eof): New function, that turns of EOF flag, and
        re-sets the ar_record and ar_last pointers.  This will allow
        'tar rf non-existant-file' to not core-dump.

1990-05-04  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Recognize the +sparse option.  It was documented, but
        only the short form (-S) was actually recognized.

1990-04-17  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * create.c: Don't access location 0 if ->dir_contents is null.

1990-04-11  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (flush_archive, close_archive, new_volume): Always
        check the return value of rmtclose(), and only give a warning msg
        if it is <0.  Some device drivers (including Sun floppy disk, and
        HP streaming tape) return -1 after an IO error (or something like
        that.)

1990-03-23  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@mole.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (long_options): Make it so +append +extract +list +update
        +catenate and +delete don't take arguments.

1990-03-12  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (open_archive, fl_write): Set the mtime of the volume
        header to the current time.

1990-03-07  Jay Fenlason <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c  Fix +compress-block  A two character patch from
        Juha Sarlin.
        Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__.
        (new_volume): If open of new archive fails, ask again, as it
        probably is user error.

        * tar.c: Replace #ifdef __GNU__ with #ifdef __STDC__

        * port.c: Clean up #ifdef and #defines a bit.
        (quote_copy_string): Sometimes the malloc'd buffer would be up to
        two characters too short.

        * extract.c (extract_archive): Don't declare ind static.

        * create.c (dump_file): Don't declare index_offset static.

        * diffarch.c: Remove diff_name variable, and always use
        head->header.name, which will always work, unlike diff_name, which
        becomes trash when the next block is read in.

1990-03-01  Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile: Mention the -NO_REMOTE option.
        * port.c [i386]: Fix typo, and define WANT_FTRUNCATE.

1990-02-26  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@pogo.ai.mit.edu>

        * getdate.y: Declare yylex and yyerror as static.
        #define yyparse to getdate_yyparse.

1990-02-25  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@albert.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c: Remove +old option, since it is a valid abbreviation of
        +old-archive, which does the same thing.
        (describe): A few small cleanups in message.

1990-02-05  Jay Fenlason        <hack@wookumz>

        * port.c [sparc]: Define LOSING_MSG, since doprnt_msg doesn't work.
        [WANT_GETWD]: Fix typo.
\f
1990-01-26  Jay Fenlason        <hack@wookumz>

        Version 1.08 --- Sparse file support added.  Also various other
        features.

        * diffarch.c (compare_chunk): Include correct arguments in
        a call to fprintf() for an error msg.
        (compare_chunks, compare_dir): First argument is a long, not an int.

        * tar.c (options): Use tar variable (argv[0]) as the name to print
        in an error msg, instead of a constant "tar".
        (confirm): Use external variable char TTY_NAME[] for name of file
        to open for confirmation input.

        * buffer.c (new_volume): Ditto.

        * port.c: Add declaration for TTY_NAME[].

        * rmt.h: Add long declarations for lseek() and __rmt_lseek();

1990-01-23  Jay Fenlason <hack@wookumz>

        * tar.c, create.c: Create the +newer-mtime option, which is like
        +newer, but only looks for files whose mtime is newer than the
        given date.

        * rtape_lib.c [USG]: Make *both* instances of signal-handler stuff
        use void (*foo)().

1990-01-11  Jay Fenlason  <hack@wookumz>

        * getdate.y : Parse European dates of the form YYMMDD.
        In ftime(): Init timezone by calling localtime(), and remember that
        timezone is in seconds, but we want timeb->timezone to be in minutes.
        Reported by Jörgen Haegg.

        * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open): Also look for /usr/bsd/rsh.
        Declare signal handler as returning void instead of int if USG is
        defined.

        * port.c: Declare WANT_GETWD for SGI 4-D IRIS.

        * Makefile: Include defines for SGI 4D version.
        Reported by Mike Muuss.

        * buffer.c (fl_read): Work properly on broken Ultrix systems where
        read() returns -1 with errno==ENOSPC on end of tape.  Correctly go
        on to the next volume if f_multivol.

        * list.c (list_archive, print_header): Flush msg_file after
        printing messages.

        * port.c: Delete unused references to alloca().
        Don't crash if malloc() returns zero in quote_copy_string.
        Flush stderr in msg() and msg_perror().

        * tar.c: Flush msg_file after printing confirmation msg.

1990-01-10  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (main): Change -help option and references to it to +help,
        and remove suggestion to run info (which is unreleased, so not
        likely to be of any help).

1990-01-09  Jay Fenlason  <hack @wookumz>

        * create.c (dump_file): Close file descriptor if start_header()
        fails.
        (dump_file): Change test for `./'-ness to not think that `.' {any
        character} is a `./'.
        Reported by Piercarlo Grandi.

        * diffarch.c (diff_init): Print correct number of bytes in error
        message.

1990-01-09  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile: Add comment at top noting that two source files also
        contain #defines that might need to be changed by hand.

        * create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c: Change L_SET to 0 in lseek
        calls, because only BSD defines it.
        * create.c (dump_file) [BSD42]: Make sparse file checking code
        conditional because it uses st_blocks, which the other systems lack.

1990-01-02  Jay Fenlason <hack@gnu>

        * port.c (quote_copy_string): Fix so it doesn't scramble memory if
        the last character is non-printable.
        Reported by Kian-Tat Lim.

1989-12-19  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@pogo>

        * port.c [BSD42]: Define DOPRNT_MSG.
        tar.h [BSD42]: Do not prototype msg{,_perror}.

1989-12-08  Jay Fenlason <hack@gnu>

        * create.c (dump_file): Remove typo in msg.

1989-12-01  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@trix>

        * Makefile: Remove comments referring to certain systems lacking
        getopt, since it is now provided always and needed by all systems.

        * port.c: Remove copy of getopt.c, as it is now linked in
        separately to always get the current version.

        * tar.c: Rename +cat-tars option to +catenate or +concatenate,
        and +local-filesystem to +one-file-system (preferred by rms
        and used in GNU cp for the same purpose).
        (describe): Reflect changes.

1989-11-28  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * port.c: Move declaration of alloca into #else /* sparc */
        so it will compile on sparcs.

1989-11-27  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options): Remove -version option (replaced by +version).
        (describe): Mention long options.

1989-11-25  David J. MacKenzie  <djm@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * getoldopt.c (getoldopt): Make `opt_index' argument a pointer to
        an int, not char.

        * tar.c: Modify long options per rms's suggestions:
        Make preserve-permissions an alias for same-permissions.
        Make preserve-order an alias for same-order.
        Define preserve to mean both of those combined.
        Make old an alias for old-archive.
        Make portability an alias for old-archive, also.
        Rename sym-links to dereference.
        Rename gnudump to incremental.
        Rename filename to file.
        Make compare an alias for diff.  Leave diff but prefer compare.
        Rename blocking-factor to block-size.
        Rename chdir to directory.
        Make uncompress an alias for compress.
        Rename confirm to interactive.
        Make get an alias for extract.
        Rename volume-header to volume.

        Also make +version an alias for -version.

        (options): Shorten code that interprets long options by using
        the equivalent short options' code.  This also makes it tons
        easier to change the long options.

        (describe): Make usage message more internally consistent
        stylistically.

1989-11-20      hack@ai.mit.edu

        * list.c (read_and): Call check_exclude() to see if the files
        should be skipped on extract or list.

1989-11-09  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@hobbes.ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (fl_read): Fix typos in error message
        "tar EOF not on block boundary".

1989-10-23              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (long_options[]): Add an option for blocked compression.

1989-10-19              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * buffer.c (writeerror): Print a more useful error msg.

1989-09-27              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (main): Mention "tar -help" if the luser types a non-workable
        set of options.

1989-09-11              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options): Have -F correctly set info_script.

1989-08-29              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * Makefile  Include ChangeLog in tar.tar and tar.tar.Z

1989-08-28              <hack@ai.mit.edu>

        * tar.c (options) Made -F imply -M.
        Also remind tar that the -f option takes an argument!

        * Modified -F option to make it do what (I think) it
        should.  e.g, if you say -F, tar won't send a msg to
        msg_file and wait for a <return> It'll just run the program
        it was given, and when the prog returns, the new tape had
        *better* be ready...

        * buffer.c (open_archive): Give error message and abort if
        the luser didn't give an archive name.

1989-08-25              Joy Kendall <jak@hobbes>

        * Added code to make a new option to run a specified script at
        the end of each tape in a multi-volume backup.  Changed: tar.c:
        made new switch, -F, and new long-named option, "info-script".
        Code is where you would expect.
        * tar.h: added flag f_run_script_at_end, and an extern char *
        called info_script, which optarg gets set to.
        * buffer.c (new_volume): if f_run_script_at_end is set, we give
        info_script to system(), otherwise we do what we've always done.

1989-08-24              Joy Kendall <jak@spiff>
(These changes made over the course of 6/89 - 8/89)

        * diffarch.c: diff_archive: Added switches for LF_SPARSE in the
        case statements that needed it.  Also, skip any extended headers
        if we need to when we skip over a file.  (need to change the bit
        about, if the size doesn't agree AND the file is NOT sparse,
        then there's a discrepancy, because I added another field to
        the header which should be able to deal with the sizes): If
        the file is sparse, call the added routine "diff_sparse_files"
        to compare.  Also added routine "fill_in_sparse_array".

        * extract.c: extract_archive: added the switch LF_SPARSE to the
        case statement as needed, and code to treat the sparse file.
        At label "again_file", modified opening the file to see if we
        should have O_APPEND be one of the modes.  Added code at label
        "extract_file" to call the new routine "extract_sparse_file"
        when we have an LF_SPARSE flag.

        Note: really should erase the commented-out code in there,
        because it's confusing.

        * update.c: made sure that if a file needed to be "skipped"
        over, it would check to see if the linkflag was sparse, and if
        so, would then make sure to skip over any "extended headers"
        that might come after the header itself.  Do so by calling
        "skip_extended_headers".

        * create.c: create_archive: added code to detect a sparse file
        when in the long case statement.  Added ways to detect extended
        headers, and label "extend" (ack! should get rid of that, is
        atrocious).  Call the new routine "finish_sparse_file" if the
        linkflag is LF_SPARSE to write the info to the tape.  Also added
        routines "init_sparsearray", "deal_with_sparse", "clear_buffer",
        "where_is_data", "zero_record", and "find_new_file_size".

        * tar.h: Added the #define's SPARSE_EXT_HDR and SPARSE_IN_HDR.
        Added the struct sparse and the struct sp_array.  Added the
        linkflag LF_SPARSE. Changed the tar header in several ways:
        - added an array of struct sparse's SPARSE_IN_HDR long
        - added a char flag isextended
        - added a char string realsize to store the true size of a sparse file
        Added another choice to the union record called a struct
        extended_header, which is an array of 21 struct sparse's and a
        char isextended flag.  Added flag f_sparse_file to list of flags.

        * tar.c: added long-named options to make tar compatible with
        getopt_long, changed Makefile.

1989-03-03  David MacKenzie  (edf at rocky2.rockefeller.edu)
(I'm not completely sure all these have been integrated -- FP.)

        * buffer.c [USG]: ifdef'd out #include <sys/file.h>.
        (close_archive): SysV doesn't have ftruncate, so substituted
        fmtwrite (just copied the code for MS-DOS).
        * create.c: Unos lacks <sys/sysmacros.h> so provided a substitute.
        (start_header): Only strip leading paths if f_relative_paths is true.
        * extract.c:
        (extract_archive): Only strip leading paths if
        f_relative_paths is true.  Because the Unos filesystem has
        only one timestamp, moved the utime call to after the chown
        and chmod calls.
        * getdate.y: Don't define ftime if Unos.
        * list.c: Defined size_t for Unos.  [USG]: Don't include <sys/file.h>.
        Define <sys/sysmacros> stuff manually for Unos.
        (decode_header): Add braces around switch cases; some compilers
        require them.
        (print_header): Changed UGSWIDTH from 11 to 25 because the smaller
        value made tape listings of files owned by more than one user
        gradually get wider, making them hard to read.
        * port.c: Don't include <sys/file.h> if SysV.  Define
        size_t for Unos.
        (mkdir): Add code to support Unos makedir sys call.
        (getopt): Use malloc instead of alloca, because tar doesn't
        use alloca anywhere else and many systems lack it.  A few other
        changes from the current version of getopt.c incorporated.
        * rtape_lib.c: Undefine RMTIOCTL.  Doesn't seem to be needed,
        and can't compile on Unos/SysV with it defined.  Might need to be
        ifdef'd.
        * tar.c: Alias addname to add_name and rmdir to deldir on Unos
        due to C library weirdness.
        (options): Recognize new -P option to set f_relative paths.
        (describe): Clean up error message and add -P description.
        * tar.h: Add variable, f_relative_paths, to cause tar to strip
        leading `/' characters in pathnames during create and extract.
        * tar.texinfo: Fixed a couple of typos, detected by texi2roff.
        * update.c: Simulate <sys/sysmacros.h> for Unos.

Previous releases by Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

        * Version 1.07 --- New version to go on beta tape with GCC 1.35.
        Better USG support.  Also support for __builtin_alloca if we're
        compiling with GCC.

        * diffarch.c: Include the correct header files so MTIOCTOP
        is defined.
        * tar.c:  Don't print the verbose list of options unless
        given -help.  The list of options is *way* too long.

        * Version 1.06 --- [__STDC__]: Use STDC_MSG.
        ENXIO meand end-of-volume in archive (for the UNIX PC)
        Added break after volume-header case (line 440) extract.c
        Added patch to rtape_lib.c (reported by Arnold Robbins).
        Added f_absolute_paths option.
        Deleted refereces to UN*X manual sections (dump(8), etc)
        Fixed to not core-dump on illegal options
        Modified msg_perror to call perror("") instead of perror(0)
        patch so -X - works
        Fixed tar.c so 'tar cf - -C dir' doesn't core-dump
        tar.c (name_match): Fixed to chdir() to the appropriate
        directory if the matching name's change_dir is set.  This
        makes tar xv -C foo {files} work.

        * Version 1.05 --- A fix to make confirm() work when the archive is
        on stdin; include 'extern FILE *msg_file;' in pr_mkdir().
        * tar.h [__STDC__]: Fix to work.

        Added to port.c: mkdir() ftruncate(): Removed: lstat()
        Fixed -G to work with -X
        Another fix to tar.texinfo
        Changed tar.c to say argv[0]":you must specify exactly ...
        buffer.c: modified child_open() to keep tar from hanging when
        it is done reading/writing a compressed archive
        added fflush(msg_file) before printing error messages
        create.c: fixed to make link_names non-absolute

        * Version 1.04 --- Added functions msg() and msg_perror(): Modified
        all the files to call them.  Also checked that all (I hope) calls
        to msg_perror() have a valid errno value.
        (modified anno() to leave errno alone), etc.
        Re-fixed the -X option.  This time for sure...
        re-modified the msg stuff.  flushed anno() completely
        Modified the directory stuff so it should work on sysV boxes
        added ftime() to getdate.y
        Fixed un_quote_string() so it won't wedge on \" Also fixed
        \ddd (like \123, etc)
        More fixes to tar.texinfo

        * Version 1.03 --- Fixed buffer.c so 'tar tzf NON_EXISTENT_FILE'
        returns an error message instead of hanging forever.
        More fixes to tar.texinfo.

        * Version 1.02 --- Fixed tar.c so 'tar -h' and 'tar -v' don't cause
        core dump.  Also fixed the 'usage' message to be more up-to-date.
        * diffarch.c [!MTIOCTOP]: Fixed so verify should compile.

        * Version 1.01 --- Fixed typoes in tar.texinfo.
        Fixed a bug in the #define for rmtcreat().
        Fixed the -X option to not call realloc() of 0.

        * Version 1.00 --- version.c added.  -version option added.
        Installed new version of the remote-tape library.
        Added -help option.


----- tests/ChangeLog -----

1997-04-25  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Release 1.12.

        * gzip.sh, ignfail.sh: Adjust to new delayed error exit message.

        * Makefile.am (BUILT_SOURCES): Define as preset, so preset is
        regenerated if configuration changes.

        * Makefile.am (TESTS): Nevertheless include delete01.sh.
        (POSTPONED_TESTS): Adjusted.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * delete02.sh: Mention f - explicitly, do not assume it, in case
        $TAPE is defined or the default archive has been overridden.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

1997-04-24  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * after: Unredirect stdout and stderr before removing the files.
        If redirections are to NFS files, removing them while they are
        still opened may have strange effects, failing almost all tests.
        Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1997-04-22  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11q.

        * Makefile.am (POSTPONED_TESTS): To contain the --delete tests.
        (TESTS): Adjusted.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Include $(POSTPONED_TESTS).  The purpose is getting
        the tests distributed, but not executed.  These flaky tests are to
        be addressed only after 1.12 is released.

1997-04-19  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Declare ../src/ansi2knr.

        Reported by Wolfram Wagner.

        * append.sh, delete.sh: New files.
        * Makefile.am (TESTS): Adjusted.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab.

        * before: Ensure .. on PATH, so genfile may be found.
        * Makefile.am ($(TESTS)): Depend on genfile, waiting for Automake
        to be adjusted to do the proper thing for parallel make.

        * gzip.sh: New name for childerr.sh.
        * extract.sh: New name for direxist.sh.
        * volume.sh: New name for volcheck.sh.
        * Makefile.am: Adjusted.

        * All tests: Use set -e whenever appropriate.  Use "" instead of
        '' for out and err, so allowing us to use escaped newlines.  In
        case of multiple output in a single test, ensure separator lines.

1996-11-06  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>

        * Prerelease 1.11.13.

        * childerr.sh, direxist.sh, volcheck.sh: Use sh, not bash.

        * version.sh (PATH): Adjust for multi-line --version output.
        * preset.in (LANG, LANGUAGE): Export them, so gzip does not
        localise its own output.
        (echo_n, echo_c): Define from the result of echo configuration.
        * after: Handle echo with newline suppressed.

1996-09-09  François Pinard  <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>
