+ Fix Debian bug 230872, originally reported by Jeff King in
+ <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=230872>.
+
+ * doc/tar.texi (posix compliance): Remove. The whole section
+ was a misunderstanding of what POSIXLY_CORRECT is supposed to
+ mean. The GNU Coding Standards says that POSIXLY_CORRECT
+ is for disabling extensions that are incompatible with POSIX:
+ it is not for disabling compatible extensions. All references
+ to this section removed.
+ (posix): This format is created only if the posix format is
+ specified; it is no longer created if gnu format is specified
+ and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): Ignore POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+ POSIX does not specify the behavior of tar, so we should
+ not worry about POSIXLY_CORRECT here.

+
+ * Makefile.am: Removed m4
+ * configure.ac: Require automake-1.8/autoconf-2.59. Removed
+ m4/Makefile.
+ * README-alpha: Updated
+ * bootstrap: Updated TP URL, improved help output. Default
+ to :ext:anoncvs and set CVS_RSH, unless already set.
+ * m4/Makefile.am: Removed

+
+ * bootstrap: Bugfix by Marco Gerards <metgerards@student.han.nl>:
+ Use $option instead of $1 so all options will be parsed.

+
+ Started rewriting buffer.c ...
+
+ * bootstrap: New option --no-po
+ * src/buffer.c (new_volume,check_label_pattern): Changed return type.
+ (time_to_start_writing): Changed data type
+ (file_to_switch_to): Removed. Variable never assigned to.
+ (open_archive) Moved option compatibility checks to tar.c
+ Other minor changes.
+ * src/common.h (maybe_backup_file): Changed return type
+ * src/misc.c: Likewise.
+ * src/create.c: Updated invocations of safer_name_suffix
+ * src/extract.c: Likewise
+ * src/delete.c: Updated assignment to write_archive_to_stdout
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): More option compatibility checks
+ (moved from buffer.c)
+ * src/update.c (time_to_start_writing): Changed data type.
+ * tests/recurse.sh: New test case.
+ * tests/mksparse.c: New file.
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Added recurse.sh and mksparse.c

+
+ * src/sparse.c (sparse_diff_file): Bugfix. Thanks
+ Martin Simmons for the patch.

+
+ Synchronize with Gettext 0.13.1, Automake 1.8, Autoconf 2.59,
+ and translation website.
+
+ * bootstrap: Don't bother skipping codeset.m4, glibc21.m4,
+ intdiv0.m4, inttypes_h.m4, inttypes.m4, inttypes-pri.m4,
+ isc-posix.m4, and lcmessage.m4 from gnulib. This list of files is
+ a bit obsolete anyway, now that gettext 0.13.1 is out. Also, the
+ files are replaced by autoreconf. Also, there seems to be a bug
+ in gettext/autoconf/automake if we try to omit these files after
+ autoreconf has replaced them, even though the gettext manual says
+ they're optional. So give up and just include them for now, even
+ though they make 'configure' longer and slower.
+
+ Change translation URL from
+ <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/maint/tar/> to
+ <http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~gnutra/po/maint/tar/> to
+ accommodate translator website revamp.
+
+ Fail if autoreconf fails.
+
+ * m4/.cvsignore: Add intmax.m4, longdouble.m4, printf-posix.m4,
+ signed.m4, size_max.m4, wchar_t.m4, wint_t.m4, xsize.m4, to
+ ignore files now supplied by gettext 0.13.1.

+
+ * configure.ac: Check for varios members of struct stat
+ that may represent file modification times with a subsecond
+ precision.
+ Check for utimes (for future use)
+ * src/buffer.c (short_read): Issue a warning on short reads.
+ * src/common.h (sys_stat_nanoseconds): New function
+ * src/create.c (dump_file0): Use sys_stat_nanoseconds().
+ * src/list.c (read_and): Treat only two successive zero
+ filled blocks as an EOF indicator. Issue a warning if
+ a single one is encountered.
+ * src/system.c (sys_stat_nanoseconds): New function
+ * src/tar.h (tar_stat_info.atime_nsec,mtime_nsec,ctime_nsec): New
+ members.
+ * src/xheader.c (code_time,decode_time): Support for subsecond
+ precision.
+ (atime_coder,atime_decoder,ctime_coder,ctime_decoder)
+ (mtime_coder,mtime_decoder): Update invocations of code_time and
+ decode_time.
+ (gid_decoder,size_decoder,uid_decoder,sparse_size_decoder)
+ (sparse_numblocks_decoder,sparse_offset_decoder)
+ (sparse_numbytes_decoder): Updated
+

+
+ * src/names.c (safer_name_suffix): Reverted change made
+ 2003-11-14. Reason: Discussion with Paul Eggert and
+ Jean-Louis Martineau. See also ChangeLog entry from
+ 1999-08-14.
+ * tests/delete03.sh: Likewise.
+ * tests/extrac04.sh: Likewise.
+ * tests/multiv01.sh: Likewise.
+
+2003-12-12 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>
+
+ * src/incremen.c (write_directory_file): Use sys_truncate
+ * src/list.c (print_header): Use archive_file_size member
+ when printing real file size.
+ * src/sparse.c (sparse_scan_file): Correctly handle files with
+ a hole at the end.
+ (sparse_dump_region,sparse_extract_region): Allow for zero size
+ trailing blocks
