this library; unfortunately, this package was only making a static
archive. This is bound to break on a fair number of platforms. Employ
libtool, as this is what vlc (and possibly other packages) are using
in the first place.
PKGREVISION++
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
While here bl3ify and provide a buildlink3.mk.
Changes since last packaged version (1.2.5):
libtar 1.2.11 - 3/2/03
- updated autoconf macros, compat code, and listhash code
- fixed tar_extract_regfile() to pass mode argument to open()
(caused EPERM on Solaris NFS clients)
- updated README
libtar 1.2.10 - 12/15/02
- updated README
- minor Makefile fixes
- fixed TH_ISREG() macro to not return true for hard links
libtar 1.2.9 - 11/19/02
- fixed th_read() to return 1 on EOF
(thanks to Yves Crespin <Crespin.Quartz@WANADOO.FR> for the bug report)
- minor portability fixes
(thanks to Yves Crespin <Crespin.Quartz@WANADOO.FR> for the bug report)
- fixed segfault on extracting filenames with 8-bit ASCII characters
(thanks to Per Liden <per@FUKT.BTH.SE> for the patch)
- fixed TH_ISDIR() macro and th_get_mode() function to handle old
archives that don't set the typeflag field right for directories
- use 0777 instead of 0755 in mkdirhier()
(thanks to Yves Crespin <Crespin.Quartz@WANADOO.FR> for the bug report)
libtar 1.2.8 - 9/13/02
- added "-I../listhash" to CPPFLAGS in libtar/Makefile.in
(thanks to Kris Warkentin <kewarken@QNX.COM> for the bug report)
- added .PHONY target to Makefile.in
(thanks to Steven Engelhardt <sengelha@YAHOO.COM> for the bug report)
libtar 1.2.7 - 9/12/02
- fixed minor bugs in listhash code
(thanks to Jim Knoble <jmknoble@pobox.com> for the bug reports)
libtar 1.2.6 - 9/10/02
- updated COPYRIGHT file
- do not check magic field by default
(replaced TAR_IGNORE_MAGIC option with TAR_CHECK_MAGIC to enable check)
- fixed th_get_mode() not to modify S_IFMT bits if they were already set
- fixed TH_IS*() macros to check the S_IFMT mode bits in addition to typeflag
(this allows us to handle old tar archives that set mode bits but not
typeflag field for directories and other special files)
- updated to autoconf-2.53
- restructured autoconf macros
- added "b" to gzoflags in gzopen_frontend() for win32 compatibility
(thanks to Kris Eric Warkentin <kewarken@QNX.COM> for reporting this)
- if O_BINARY is defined (as on win32), set that bit in oflags in tar_open()
(thanks to Kris Eric Warkentin <kewarken@QNX.COM> for reporting this)
- also use O_BINARY in when calling open() from tar_extract_regfile()
(based on patch from Graeme Peterson <gp@qnx.com>)
- added COMPAT_FUNC_MAKEDEV macro to handle 3-arg version of makedev()
(based on patch from Graeme Peterson <gp@qnx.com>)
Libtar is a library for manipulating tar files from within C programs.
Key features:
- Handles both POSIX 1003.1-1990 tar file format and the GNU extensions.
- API provides functions for easy use, such as tar_extract_all().
- Also provides functions for more granular use, such as
tar_append_regfile().
- Support compressed tar file by way of zlib.
