from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7
- fixed bug in dar_manager about the localization of the archive in which to fin
d the latest EA
- fixed bug in configure script to properly report full blowfish encryption supp
ort
- fixed a bug in the statistics calculus of dar_manager for most recent files pe
r archive
- removed inappropriate internal error check
- added --disable-libdl-linking option
- fixed mistake in API tutorial
- updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
- fixed bug in the file filtering based on listing file ( -[ option )
- fixed typo and spelling errors in documentation
- updated code for clean compilation with gcc-4.2.3
- updated code for clean compilation with gcc-4.3 20080208 (experimental gcc)
from 2.3.7 to 2.3.8
- fixed bug in libdar met when user supply an empty file as a list of file to
include or exclude ( -[ and -] options )
- fixed bug concerning elastic buffers used beside strong encryption. No
security issue here, just in some almost rare situations the generated archive
was not readable (testing your archive prevents you loosing data in this
situation)
- added some speed optimizations
- avoided warning to appear without -v option set, when an error is met while
fetching value of nodump flag (flag not supported on filesystem for example).
Changes within pkgsrc:
(*) While here, add some logic to allow REPLACE_PERL and
REPLACE_BASH to work without USE_TOOLS+="perl bash".
Thus, the paths in share/dar/samples will now [usually]
be correct. Simplify options handling.
(*) Use PTHREAD_AUTO_VARS to ensure harmony with the
rest of pkgsrc, add USE_FEATURES.openssl=threads
when necessary. Threads are enabled if a built-in
thread library is used.
Changes in source (since version 2.3.5):
(*) fixed: Makefile.am in src/dar_suite
(removed "/" after $(DESTDIR))
(*) fixed: bug in regex mask building when not using
ordered masks
(*) fixed: bug that led dar_manager to report no error while
some files failed to be restored due to command-line
for dar being too large.
(*) fixed: bug encountered when user aborts operation while
dar is finalizing archive creation [SF #1800507]
(*) fixed: problem with execvp when dar_manager launches dar
This is a minor release. Changes from 2.3.4 are:
- changed displayed message when adding a hard link to an archive while
performing a differential backup
- added back the possibility to use old blowfish implementation (bfw cipher)
- integrated optimization patch from Sonni Norlov
- updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
- updated French translation
- fixed broken Native Language Support in 2.3.x (where x<5)
Pkgsrc changes:
- Use an option group for dar-int32 Vs dar-int64 Vs neither (infinint)
- Default to dar-int64 (the infinint support is excessive, and hugely
expensive)
- REPLACE_FOO doesn't work if FOO isn't a dependency, and we don't want to
pull in Bash and Perl just for a few samples! So, don't replace the
interpreters in the samples, just leave them as is.
ChangeLog from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4:
- fixed behavior when differential backup is interrupted (no more store file
that would have been read if no interruption had been done as "deleted"
since thearchive of reference) [SF #1669091].
- added official method to access catalogue's statistics through the API (for
kdar next version).
- Fixed syntax error in dar_par_create.duc and dar_par_test.duc files
(Parchive integration with dar).
- minor spelling fix in error message (compressor.cpp)
- added Wiebe Cazemier's two patches for dar man page
- integrated patch from Dwayne C. Litzenberger to fix weakness in dar's
implementation of the blowfish encryption.
- improved the returned message when an invalid path is given as argument
- updated doc/sample/sample1.txt script file
via NetBSD's patch(1) just fine, but failed on a Debian Linux box. We
need to provide three lines of context in the diff or else They complain
about patching fuzz, even if 100% of the diff context matches the target.
options.
Upgrading to 2.3.3 is strongly recommended if you use Dar to backup across
multiple filesystems:

Changelog entry from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3:
- avoid using getpwuid() and getgrgid() for static linking.
- fixed typo in dar's man page
- update FAQ
- fixed bug: uncaught exception thrown when CTRC-C was hit while dar waits an
answer from the user [SF #1612205]
- fixed bug: unusable archive generated when CTRC-C was hit and blowfish
encryption used [SF #1632273]
- added a check to verify that the libdar used is compatible with the current
dar suite programs [SF #1587643]
- fixed bug: added workaround for the right arithmetic shift operator (the
binary produced by gcc-3.4.2 produces computes "v>>s" equal to "v" when when
v is a integer field composed of s exactly bits. It should rather compute it
to zero...).
this problem leads 32 bits generated archive incompatible with 64 bits
generated archive only when blowfish is used.
- fixed bug met when the inode space is exhausted, thanks to "Jo - Ex-Bart" for
this new feedback. [SF #1632738]
- replaced &, <, >, ' and " in XML listing by &...; corresponding sequence.
[SF #1597403]
- dar_manager can receive arguments after stick to -o options (it is an error
in regard to documentation, but no warning was issued in that case, leading
to confusion for some users) [SF #1598138]
- updated Veysel Ozer's automatic_backup script
- fixed hard link detection problem [SF #1667400]
- verbose output did not displayed hard links information
- merged patch on dar_cp by Andrea Palazzi to have it to return EXIT_DATA_ERROR
when some data have been reported [SF #1622913]
from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2
- fixed bug in Native Language Support when --enable-locale-dir was not set (Thomas Jacob's patch)
- updated Swedish translation by Peter Landgren
- --verbose=skipped was not available (only the short -vs form was available)
- reviewed regex with ordered mask for the feature to better fits user's need (Dave Vasilevsky's feedback)
- fixed bug where compression algorithm was changed to maximum (fixed with Richard Fish's adequate patch)
- fixed tutorial with command line evolution (dar's -g option in particular)
- latest version of Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz's mini-howto
- fixed bug concerning restoration of only more recent files
Patch provided by Martin Wilke via PR 34430.
- Changelog
from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1
- set back Nick Alcock's patch which has been dropped from
2.2.x to 2.3.x (patch name is "Do not moan about every
single file on a non-ext2 filesystem")
- fixed compilation problem when thread-safe code is disabled
- integrated Wiebe Cazemier's patch for dar's man page
- fixed bug in listing: -as option also listed files that
had EA even when theses were not saved in the archive
- file permission of installed sample scripts lacked the
executable bit
- fixed a bug that appeared when a file is removed while at
the time it is saved by dar
- avoid having an unnecessary warning appearing when
restoring a file in a directory that has default EA set
- Cygwin has changed and does not support anymore the path
in the form "c:/some/where", you have to use
"/cygdrive/c/some/where" instead. Documentation has been
updated in consequence.
so it doesn't build with its own libintl.
The error was: error: too many arguments to function `const
char* _nl_expand_alias()'
Include devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk.
Bump PKGREVISION.
This is for PR 30993.
- added protection code against bad_alloc exception
- new configure option to bypass libdl test
- removed expected exception list in deci, limitint, real_infinint
and storage modules to improve global robustness
- remove the #pragma implementation/interface directives
which tend today to become obsolete, and seems to be the
cause of compilation problem on (recent) Linux kernel 2.6.7
for example.
- added protection code to report bug conditions
- code simplification for filesystem reading (while performing
backup)
- fixed bug #29 (crash when saving hard link without read
permission)
- fixed code syntax to support gcc-3.4.x

DAR is a Disk ARchiver, for backing-up file systems to disk. It's rather
in the spirit of TAR, with some additions. Notably:
DAR can break up a archive into multiple files, to facillitate
storage on portable media, like CDs or DVDs.
Can perform incremental back-ups against a reference archive, or,
more conveniently, a "catalog" of an archive, which is sort of a
combination of a TAR table-of-contents and a file checksum list.
DAR also supports filtering, so files or directories can be excluded from
an archive, compression, filtered compression, and the inclusion of parity
in archives, to help recover from media errors.
