NetBSD pax is the POSIX standard archiver with many extensions.
pax will read, write, and list the members of an archive file, and will
copy directory hierarchies.
pax operation is independent of the specific archive format, and supports
a wide variety of different archive formats.
This package uses pkgtools/libnbcompat, and is known to build on
Solaris 9, Slackware 8.1 and Darwin 6.6. Please send-pr(1) if this
package is broken on your platform.
Changes:
* important changes in version 1.02 12/6/2003:
This release holds some bugfixes over the 1.01 release, mainly these:
- Silly thinko fix in File.pm
- Quell some warnings if files are empty
- The cache of previously added files was not being emtpied
Also, some new features are added:
- Archive::Tar::File objects now have a C<has_content> method.
* important changes in version 1.01 5/6/2003:
This release holds some bugfixes over the 1.00 release, mainly these:
- Silence some warnings when writing directories to disk.
- A { } inside a map was interpreted as a block rather than a hashref
constructor -- now fixed.
- Fix write() to work again as advertised when passed no arguments.
- This also means glob support to write is now definately not
available.
- Silly thinko of where splitpath() instead of splitdir() was used.
Some new features/changes:
- Add a new method 'has_content' to Archive::Tar::File.
- Cygwin's tests will now also use the 'short' files, since cygwin
is built on top of an Win32 filesystem.
* important changes in version 1.00 31/5/2003:
This release marks the new development track as 'stable'. Version got
upped to '1.00'. Not many changes, merely lots of succesfull test
reports constitute this version. However, a tiny fix regarding the
reserved string 'VERSION' has been applied, as well as a few more FAQ
entries have been added.
* important changes in version 0.99_06 5/5/2003:
This release only entails a bug fix on 0.99_05 -- C<extract_archive>
was dealing wrongly with special files such as hardlinks etc. This
is now fixed.
* important changes in version 0.99_05 30/4/2003:
Apparently windows has some issues with long path names.
This version introduces an adapted test suite for Win32 machines.
* important changes in version 0.99_04 28/4/2003:
Make Archive::Tar work happily on perl 5.005_03
* important changes in version 0.99_03 28/4/2003:
This release only has bug fixes on 0.99_02.
Fixed handling of long file names when extracting with
C<extract_archive>
Fixed handling of prefixes in tar headers that contain regex meta-
characters.
Fixed a few spurious warnings about comparing non-numbers.
Expanded the test cases accordingly.
* important changes in version 0.99_02 26/3/2003:
Added options to be passed to read, namely:
- extract (to extract while reading)
- limit (to limit the amount of files read from the archive)
Implemented the '././@LongLink' support, which is GNU's way of
dealing with filenames that are longer than 255 chars.
Added a global variable $WARN which controls whether warnings get
printed or just stored.
Fixed a few small bugs that considered files named '0' or '' to not
really be files and refuse to package them.
* important changes in version 0.99_01 16/3/2003:
Total rewrite from the ground up. Removed as many as the nasty
bits (no pun intended) as possible and tucked them away.
No code from the old distribution remains.
Cleaned up the API, introduced clean error handling and just
generally removed a lot of cruft.
Note that Archive::Tar now requires perl version 5.005_03 or higher
to run.
Introduced 2 new submodules:
Archive::Tar::Constant
Simply holds all constants, like block length, tar headers etc
Archive::Tar::File
Object class for all files in a tar archive, to make for easier
manipulataion of the archive in-memory.
See perldoc Archive::Tar::File after installation.
Added a few features:
write() now takes an optional 3rd paramater (prefix) which will allow
you to tuck away all files in that sub directory.
rename() is introduced, allowing for easy renaming of files in the
archive.
get_files() returns a file of all Archive::Tar::File objects in the
current read-in archive.
* important changes in version 0.23, 21/1/2003:
Bundled 0.072 and 0.22 to be able to work on Win32 and non-Win32
platforms. Since the previous version is almost 3 years old, bundling
seemed like the quickest way to get a working solution again.
Archive::Tar now transparently Does The Right Thing depending what
platform you are on -- Win32 users, read the Archive::Tar::Win32
documentation!
I also suppose this makes me the new maintainer...
version 2.2.4
-------------
* Added is and sr translations.
version 2.2.3
-------------
* Handle tar archives with a ':' in the path.
* Display the uncompressed size of gzipped files.
* Added ga, ml translations.
version 2.2.2

comment about info file where it belongs, ..).
Addresses PR pkg/21702 by Rob Quinn.
* Five years have passed since the last release: completely updated
the Autoconf build system, enable Autoconf large file support.
* Warn about a compressed file's trailing zero bytes only if in
verbose mode (for compatibility with recent versions of GNU tar).
* Don't be too strict in favoring stdin - using `--no-stdin' should not
be necessary any longer.
* Added option `-P' to save/restore the path name of a compressed file.
* Added option `--crc32' to use a crc32 instead of a adler32 checksum.
* Fixed an assertion that could happen in very rare cases.
Changes:
- Support for BSDi version 4.x
- Suport for BSDi on sparc
- Support for sparc64 FreeBSD
- Support for i786-cygwin
- Added +DAportable to the HP-UX cc compiler flags
- New Platform 9000-831-hp-ux-cc
- Added floatingpint printing support for OS/2
- Added support for macppc-netbsd-cc NetBSD on MAC
- Workaround for an OpenBSD bug in ctype.h (illegaly #defines EOF)
- Added IPv6 support to 'rmt'
- Better casting for debug printf() in 'rmt'
- Better autoconfiguration for librmt and its users yields in better
compilation and portability results for OS that do not support the
needed internet features for remote tape support.
- Special support for an undocumented but unfortunately important
"feature" for symlinks on HP-UX.
Now star tries to retain the permissions of a symlink by
stting umask() before creating the symlink.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to be unable to correctly deal with
ACLs where the user or group name contains spaces.
- Workaround for reading rotten archives caused by above bug.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to create broken archives if
the POSIX.1-2001 extended format is used for sparse files > 8 GB.
For this reason, a new extended header tag SCHILY.realsize has
been added.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to dump core on UNIX-98 TAR compat mode
with e.g. 'star cbv' because star did not check for the missing arg to
the -b option.
- 'star -n -tpath ...' now only prints the pathnames to allow
to use the ooutput directly in scripts. If you like the old
behavior, use 'star -nv ...'
rebuild the documentation database at install/deinstall time. This means
that:
- PLIST's do not need to call scrollkeeper-{update,rebuilddb} directly;
this is done by a bsd.pkg.install.mk template.
- The share/omf directory is only removed by scrollkeeper, which is the
last package in the dependancy tree.
- PKGREVISION is bumped.

collection as archivers/parchive.
The idea behind parchive is to provide a tool to apply the data-recovery
capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and recovery of
multi-part archives on Usenet. Current filespec and clients support the
'Reed-Soloman Code' implementation that allows for recovery of any 'X'
volumes for 'X' parity volumes present.
as archivers/lbrate.
lbrate extracts/decompresses files from the CP/M LBR format. (It can also list
and test such archives.) It does this in an `unzip'-like manner, mostly hiding
the details of individually compressed and renamed files, and transparently
dealing with the required decompression/renaming.
From the FreeBSD ports collection.
archivers/xpk.
This package is a UNIX port of the Amiga XPK library.
The XPK system consists of a master library (libxpkmaster.so) and several
(un)packer sub-libraries (libxpkXXXX.so). Application programs only use the
master library directly: the master library takes care of loading and using
the sub-libraries. Each sub-library implements one type of compression.
There are different libraries for different types of data. When unpacking the
applications do not need to know which library was used to pack the data -
the appropriate library needs to be installed.
From the FreeBSD ports collection.
as archivers/arj.
This package is a GPL implementation of ARJ v2.7x for DOS on UNIX and
UNIX-like systems. It is assumed that the user is familiar with ARJ
operation on DOS before using this package.
New ARJ features on UNIX and UNIX-like platforms:
- Support for symbolic and hard links
- Archiving of special entities: pipes and devices
- Support for UID/GID storage in a variety of methods
- World's smallest native self-extracting modules
- Outstanding interoperability with ARJ for DOS, Windows and OS/2 Warp
From the FreeBSD port collections (with several changes by me).
Pointed out by Jeremy C. Reed (reed at reedmedia dot net) in
PR pkg/19170. Modification: assume that anything that calls itself
*BSD can deal with this flag instead of just dealing with Linux.
(Please check on Darwin and adjust.)
Summary of changes (see NEWS and Changelog from the distribution for details):
- don't allow absolute paths, and path containing ../
* New option --overwrite-dir
* New option --recursion (the default) that is the inverse of --no-recursion.
* New options --anchored, --ignore-case, --wildcards,
--wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these options control how
exclude patterns are interpreted.
* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
--no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
* The --no-recursion option now affects extraction too.
* New options --no-same-owner, --no-same-permissions.
* New option -y or --bzip2 for bzip2 compression, by popular request.
as archivers/libcomprex.
The libcomprex library transparently handles automatic compression and
decompression of files. The API is similar to C's built-in file access
functions, which provides a smooth transition to libcomprex.
libcomprex can also open uncompressed files, making it a good
replacement for the native file access functions.
libcomprex is part of the GNUpdate project.
libcomprex is currently in development (so should not be used in
stable products).
archivers/makeself.
makeself is a (very small) shell script that makes neat

INCOMPAT_GETTEXT that are analogous to INCOMPAT_ICONV and contain lists of
shell wildcards intended to match against ${MACHINE_PLATFORM}. These
variables are used to note those platforms that have the named packages in
the base system but are incompatible in some way from the pkgsrc version
of the same package. Change INCOMPAT_CURSES to have the same sematics as
above. These variables allow much greater precision in specifying which
platforms have broken (for the purposes of pkgsrc) versions of software in
the base system that must be ignored.
The buildlink.mk files for these packages define private _INCOMPAT_*
versions of these variables, and they contain the default lists of
platforms that are known to have incompatible software bits.

even multivolume ones:
1. We introduced WinRAR 3.0 discount program, so a single user
license now is only $29.
As always, already registered users do not need to pay again.
RAR 1.x - 2.x registration is valid for 3.0 too.
New international RAR site is www.rarlab.com. You may visit it
to download latest versions and register RAR.
Also do not forget that we have a lot of regional sites processing
RAR registrations. Complete list is available in rar_site.txt.
2. Compression algorithm improved. Changes include:
a) dictionary size is increased to 4 MB, this helps to increase
compression on large data sets;
b) a special algorithm for text data, based on Dmitry Shkarin's
PPMII sources: ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack/ppmdh.rar
We express our sincere gratitude and respect to Dmitry for
his excellent PPMII;
c) special preprocessing algorithms for 32-bit x86 executables,
Itanium executables, true color data, audio data and tables.
In many cases significantly increasing compression;
d) now RAR chooses the best combination of algorithms automatically,
so "Multimedia compression" mode and switch -mm are obsolete.
By default, RAR uses only the general compression algorithm
in the "Fast" and "Fastest" compression methods (-m1 and -m2),
advanced algorithms such as audio and true color processing are
enabled only in "Normal"..."Best" (-m3..-m5) modes, the advanced
text compression is activated only in "Good" and "Best"
compression (-m4..-m5). This default can be overridden using
the -mc switch.
RAR 3.0 archives can be unpacked by any RAR version beginning
from RAR 2.9, currently it is 2.9 and 3.0. RAR 3.0 can unpack
archives created by all older RAR versions.
3. Encryption algorithm is changed to AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
with 128 bit key length.
4. Francesco Indrio <naradamoon@operamail.com>, <naradamoon@libero.it>
has once again done a nice job redesigning WinRAR graphics.
5. "Wizard" command helps novice users to perform basic
archive operations in simple, step by step mode.
Just click on Wizard button on the toolbar and choose
an operation which you want to perform.
6. "Send archive by email" option in the "Files" part of archiving
dialog. Your email program must support MAPI interface,
otherwise this option will not work.
In the command line mode you may use -ieml[.][addr] switch
to send a created archive by email.
7. WinRAR adds "Compress and email" item to Explorer context menu.
8. Default volume naming scheme is changed from volname.rar,
volname.r00, ..., to volname.part001.rar, volname.part002.rar, etc.
Switch -vn and "Old style volumes names" option in the archiving
dialog allow to use the old extension based scheme.
9. Added support of so called recovery volumes (.rev files),
which can be used to reconstruct missing files in a volume set.
One .rev file allows to reconstruct one missing RAR volume,
for example, 5 .rev files are able to reconstruct any 5 volumes.
In WinRAR you may create recovery volumes either specifying
their number in the archiving dialog or using "Protect" command
inside of the first volume.
In the command line RAR it can be done by the command 'rv[n]'
or switch -rv[n].
RAR and WinRAR automatically use .rev files to reconstruct
missing volumes when unpacking or testing a volume set.
It is also possible to double click on .rev file in WinRAR shell
or use the command 'rc' in the command line to force reconstructing.
I wish to thank developers of Mirror program, who invented
this idea and proposed to implement it in WinRAR.
10. SFX modules:
a) Windows SFX modules now support archives larger than 4 GB
and Unicode names;
b) It is possible to replace the standard SFX icon with your own.
Just specify the icon file name in "Load SFX icon from the file"
field of "Advanced SFX options/Text and icon" dialog.
c) new "Shortcut=DestType,SrcName,DestFolder,Description"
SFX script command allows to create shortcuts to unpacked
files on Desktop, Start Menu, Start Menu/Programs or Startup.
This feature is also available through "Shortcuts" list
in the "Advanced SFX options" WinRAR dialog;
d) modified syntax of TempMode SFX script command. It now uses
comma instead of '@' as a question and title separator.
It is important only for those users, who write SFX script
manually instead of specifying SFX parameters in WinRAR
"Advanced SFX options" dialog;
e) "Delete" SFX script command and "Files to delete" field
in "Advanced SFX options" dialog may include wildcard masks.
For example:
Delete=*.tmp
f) removed "Allow external signature" advanced SFX option
and the corresponding "ExtSign" script command.
RAR 3.0 archive format includes the end of archive marker,
so SFX module automatically stops extraction when reaching
the end of archive and all data appended to archive are
ignored by default;
g) if you specified INF file in SFX "Setup" command, SFX will
attempt to install it instead of opening its contents
in Notepad as in the previous version;
h) the new DOS SFX module is 32-bit, so it is not limited to 64 KB
dictionary more and can unpack any RAR 3.0 archives regardless
of dictionary size;
i) "SFX options" button in the archiving dialog opens directly
"Advanced SFX options" without intermediate selection of
SFX module. If you need to change SFX type, use "Module"
page in the advanced SFX options.
Please note that new SFX modules are able to unpack only RAR 3.0
archives. They must not be used with archives created by older
RAR versions.
11. Switch -hp<pwd> can be used instead of -p<pwd> to encrypt
both file data and file headers, so such information as file
names, sizes, comments will not be visible without a password.
"Encrypt file names" option in the password dialog provides
the same function in WinRAR shell.
12. Added support for ISO9660 (.iso) file format, which is widely
used to store CD images. WinRAR is able to browse and unpack
contents of ISO files. WinRAR also supports Joliet extension
of ISO9660 and displays long file names inside of Joliet CD images.
13. Using switch -mc you may set advanced compression parameters
such as prediction order and memory size for the text compression
algorithm. It is also possible in WinRAR shell using "Compression..."
button in the "Advanced" part of archiving dialog.
14. Switch -ms allows to specify files, which will be stored
without compression. For example, -msrar;zip;jpg.
It helps to increase archiving speed without noticeable
loss in the compression ratio.
The same option is available in WinRAR shell through
"Files to store without compression" field in the advanced
part of the archiving dialog.
15. "Info" command now is available also outside of archives,
when working with uncompressed files. One task of this command
is getting information about selected files, another is
performing miscellaneous operations with groups of archives.
After the files scan step is completed, you may switch to
other pages of the dialog and apply commands like "Comment"
and "SFX" to all found RAR and ZIP archives.
"Info" replaces "Estimate" command, which function is available
as a part of the information dialog. Amount of estimation information
is reduced, because an accuracy of Estimate results was not enough
to provide reliable results for different compression methods.
16. "Comment", "Protect", "SFX", "Lock" and "Extract" WinRAR commands
can be also used outside of archives. Their buttons are disabled
by default, but you may enable them in toolbar settings or
use "Commands" menu. "Repair" command is also available
inside of archives.
17. "Test archived files" WinRAR option and the command line switch -t
allow to test files after archiving. This option is especially
useful in combination with the move command, so files will be
deleted only if archive had been successfully tested.
18. "Backup" part of the archiving dialog provides two new file
time selecting modes allowing to archive files modified
before or after the specified date.
19. Switches -ta<date> and -tb<date> allow to add or extract files
modified after or before the specified date. Date format
is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. It is allowed to insert separators like '-'
or ':' to date string and omit trailing fields. For example,
the following switch is correct: -ta2001-11-20.
20. Switch -ver tells RAR to keep old file versions in archive
when adding their new versions.
The corresponding WinRAR shell option is "Keep previous file
versions" in "Backup" part of archiving dialog.
21. "My Network Places" item is added to WinRAR address bar,
so you may browse the network in WinRAR file list.
The address bar also includes some other shell folders
like "My Computer" and "My Documents".
22. When you press "Up one level" toolbar button or Backspace
in the disk root, WinRAR will display the disks list in
the file panel.
23. It is possible to copy and paste archived and usual files
in WinRAR with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keys. For example, you may
select some files in archive, press Ctrl+C, open a folder
in Explorer and press Ctrl+V to unpack selected files to
that folder.
24. "Pause" button added to the operation progress window.
Archiving progress window is now displaying time left
instead of total estimated time.
25. CRC32 column is displayed inside of RAR, ZIP, ACE and ARJ archives.
CRC32 is the special control sum calculated basing on file data
and it may help to detect either two archived files are the same
without unpacking them. Same files always have the same CRC32 value.
26. When "Put each file in separate archive" option in the archiving
dialog is enabled, WinRAR uses a text entered in the archive name
field as the destination folder for created archives. Previous
versions ignored the archive name in the "separate archives" mode.
27. "Extract archives to subfolders" option in the extraction
dialog. It is available only when more than one archive
is unpacked. It will place unpacked contents of each archive
to separate subfolder, which name will be generated basing
on the archive name.
28. Switch -ad appends an archive name to destination path.
It may be useful when unpacking a few archives at once,
so files from each archive will go to separate folder.
29. "Extract each archive to separate folder" item is present
in Explorer context menu when unpacking a group of archives.
30. Two new options in WinRAR "Settings/General":
a) "Allow history in dialogs";
b) "Start in wizard mode".
31. Switch -af<type> allows to define a type of new archive
in WinRAR command line. <Type> can be 'rar' or 'zip'.
For example, 'winrar a -afzip arc' will create arc.zip archive.
This switch is supported only by WinRAR. Console RAR is not
able to create ZIP archives.
32. Switch -en disables adding "end of archive block".
By default, RAR 3.0 adds "end of archive" block to the end of
new or updated archive. It allows to skip external data like
digital signatures safely, but in some special cases it may be
useful to disable this feature. For example, if an archive
is transferred between two systems via a unreliable link and
at the same time a sender adds new files to it, it may be
important to be sure that the already received file part will
not be modified on the other end between transfer sessions.
33. Now RAR can update encrypted solid archives.
34. "Exit" button is added to the toolbar. It is disabled by default,
you may enable it manually with "Select buttons..." in WinRAR
settings.
35. "Select toolbar buttons" dialog allows to change the order
of toolbar buttons. Just select buttons to move and press
"Up" or "Down". Also you may drag buttons directly on
the toolbar while holding down the ALT key.
36. "Word wrap" option in "Settings/Viewer" selects the default
wrapping mode in new internal viewer windows.
37. Console RAR sends error messages to stderr instead of stdout.
38. New '+' modifier for -ag switch allows to place the date string
before a base archive name.
39. In the extraction dialog the entered folder is opened
in the folders tree automatically as you type, with a small
delay about 0.5 second. Also you may locate the currently
entered folder name in the tree pressing "Display" button.
40. It is possible to use wildcards in the path part of file mask
in -x switch and "Files to exclude" field of the archiving
dialog. For example, -x*\temp\*.
41. Switch -ilog accepts the optional log file name parameter.
For example, -ilogc:\log\backup.log.
42. Improved Chinese and Japanese (DBCS encoded) names processing
in ZIP archives (RAR format already supported such names since
WinRAR 2.80). But anyway, it is recommended to use RAR format
for such names, because it uses more portable Unicode encoding
instead of ZIP DBCS.
43. WinRAR uses new visual styles of Windows XP controls.
44. Improved processing of "Group Policies" settings. Earlier
it was possible to open a disk disabled in the policies
by pressing "Up" button inside of archive or entering
its path in the address bar.
45. Console rar.exe executed from NT service is continuing
to run after user's logoff.
46. If you attempt to close the command window and an archiving
or extraction operation is already performing for more than
one minute, WinRAR will ask for confirmation.
47. WinRAR recognizes and processes TAR @LongLink records.
GNU TAR uses them to store names longer than 100 characters
in TAR archives.

Star is a full-featured tar command that can access local and remote
tar archives (files and tapes). It reads and writes POSIX compliant
tar archives as well as non-POSIX GNU tar archives.
Star is the first POSIX.1-2001 compliant tar implementation. It includes
a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability to
archive sparse files and ACLs and the ability to archive extended file flags.
It supports utomatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archivecompression/decompression. It includes the
only known platform independent "rmt" server program that implements all
Sun/GNU/Schily/BSD enhancements and allows any "rmt" client from any OS to
contact any OS as server.
- Do not compute a pointer outside of an array.
The original code did this and if the executable is mapped at the
low address in virtual space, the "runsrc" value becomes ``negative''
address and caused crash.
Package maintainers should use a.out to detect this sort of botches. :D
- Fix usage of mktime(3).
- Fix usage of tolower(3).
Changes:
- Honor umask for file mode.
- Add a hack to handle self-extracting cabinet (*.exe).
- Add MacOS X to version_local()
- unix/configure: Init LFLAGS1 to "", MacOS X doesn't like -s
- rename errors array to ziperrors to avoid MacOS X library clash
A bug fix release, addressing various minor issues.
* Fix an infinite segfault loop in 1.0.1 when a directory is encountered
in -f (force) mode.
* Avoid double fclose() of output file on certain I/O error paths.
* Don't fail with internal error 1007 when fed a long stream (> 48MB)
of byte 251. Also print useful message suggesting that 1007s may be
caused by bad memory.
* Fix uninitialised variable silly bug in demo prog dlltest.c.
* Remove 512-MB limitation on recovered file size for bzip2recover
on selected platforms which support 64-bit ints.
* Copy file access times correctly.
* Dereference symlinks when copying file permissions in -f mode.
* Majorly simplify implementation of uInt64_qrm10.
* Check the input file still exists before deleting the output one,
when aborting in cleanUpAndFail().
* Wrapper scripts (with manpages): bzdiff, bzgrep, bzmore.
* Spelling changes and minor enhancements in bzip2.1.
* Avoid race condition between creating the output file and setting its
interim permissions safely, by using fopen_output_safely().
* do not print senseless report with -v when compressing an empty file.
* bzcat -f works on non-bzip2 files.
* do not try to escape shell meta-characters on unix (the shell takes
care of these).
* added --fast and --best aliases for -1 -9 for gzip compatibility.
