XXX: man page not updated (didn't find new version of suse gtar man page which we're using in the package) version 1.14 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2004-05-11 * Added support for POSIX.1-2001 and ustar archive formats. * New option --format allows to select the output archive format * The default output format can be selected at configuration time by presetting the environment variable DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT. Allowed values are GNU, V7, OLDGNU and POSIX. * New option --strip-path allows to cut off a given number of path elements from the name of the file being extracted. * New options --index-file, --no-overwrite-dir. The --overwrite-dir option is now the default; use --no-overwrite-dir if you prefer the previous default behavior. * The semantics of -o option is changed. When extracting, it does the same as --no-same-owner GNU tar option. This is compatible with UNIX98 tar. Otherwise, its effect is the same as that of --old-archive option. This latter is deprecated and will be removed in future. * New option --check-links prints a message if not all links are dumped for a file being archived. This corresponds to the UNIX98 -l option. The current semantics of the -l option is retained for compatibility with previous releases, however such usage is strongly deprecated as the option will change to its UNIX98 semantics in the future releases. * New option --occurrence[=N] can be used in conjunction with one of the subcommands --delete, --diff, --extract or --list when a list of files is given either on the command line or via -T option. This option instructs tar to process only the Nth occurrence of each named file. N defaults to 1, so `tar -x -f archive --occurrence filename' extracts the first occurrence of `filename' from `archive' and terminates without scanning to the end of the archive. * New option --pax-option allows to control the handling of POSIX keywords in `pax' extended headers. It is equivalent to `pax' -o option. * --incremental and --listed-incremental options work correctly on individual files, as well as on directories. * New scripts: backup (replaces old level-0 and level-1) and restore. The scripts are compiled and installed if --enable-backup-scripts option is given to configure. * By default tar searches "rmt" utility in "$prefix/libexec/rmt", which is consistent with the location where the version of "rmt" included in the package is installed. Previous versions of tar used "/etc/rmt". To install "rmt" to its traditional location, run configure with option --libexecdir=/etc. Otherwise, if you already have rmt installed and wish to use it, instead of the shipped in version, set the variable DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND to the full path name of the utility, e.g. ./configure DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND=/etc/rmt. Notice also that the full path name of the "rmt" utility to use can be set at runtime, by giving option --rmt-command to tar. * Removed obsolete command line options: ** --absolute-paths superseded by --absolute-names ** --block-compress is not needed any longer ** --block-size superseded by --blocking-factor ** --modification-time superseded by --touch ** --read-full-blocks superseded by --read-full-records ** --record-number superseded by --block-number ** --version-control superseded by --backup * New message translations fi (Finnish), gl (Galician), hr (Croatian), hu (Hungarian), ms (Malaysian), nb (Norwegian), ro (Romanian), sk (Slovak), zh_CN (Chinese simplified), zh_TW (Chinese traditional). The code 'no' for Norwegian (Bokmål) has been withdrawn; use 'nb' instead. |
