+
+ * src/buffer.c: Rewritten in a more modular fashion to provide
+ GNU extensions (multi-volume archives and archive labels) in
+ pax format.
+ NOTICE, that some of the aspects (e.g. splitting the archive
+ on the extended header boundary) are still not solved, others
+ (splitting a sparse file between the volume) require additional
+ testing. Wait for the next commit.
+
+ (volume_label,continued_file_name,continued_file_size)
+ (continued_file_offset): New globals.
+ (save_name,save_totsize,save_sizeleft): Make static
+ (mv_begin,mv_end,mv_total_size,mv_size_left): New functions
+ (open_archive,flush_write,flush_read): Rewritten
+
+ * src/common.h (save_name,save_sizeleft,save_totsize): Remove
+ globals.
+ (volume_label,continued_file_name,continued_file_size): New
+ variables.
+ (flush_read,flush_write): Pointers to functions
+ (mv_begin,mv_end,mv_total_size,mv_size_left): New functions
+ (write_extended): New function.
+
+ * src/compare.c, src/create.c, src/extract.c, src/incremen.c,
+ src/list.c: Use mv_.* functions uniformly instead of fiddling
+ with the global variables.
+ * src/sparse.c: Use mv_.* functions where necessary.
+ * src/tar.c (decode_options): Allow to use --multi-volume and
+ --label with pax archives.
+ * src/xheader.c (xhdr_tab): Support for new GNU keywords.
