XXX: Automatic handling and plain entries don't work for symlinks
for ptar and ptardiff, no idea why. Added PLIST entries like the following
for this reason:
@unexec ${RM} -f %D/bin/ptar 2>/dev/null || ${TRUE}
* important changes in version 1.40 13/10/2008:
- Add $class->has_zlib_support and $class->has_bzip2_support to
discern which A::T can support
- Address: #39933: [PATCH] handle ../ directory name on VMS (core patch)
* important changes in version 1.39_04 08/09/2008:
- Address: #38932: pax_global_header extracted as file
Don't extract these special files, which are added by, among
others, git-generated tarballs. It holds a comment and is not
meant for extraction. This follows gnu tar 1.14 and later behaviour
- Address: #19577: extract_file() drops volume part of extraction path
Windows users can now extract files to a different volume
* important changes in verison 1.39_03 26/08/2008:
- Because all the IO::Compress modules are interlinked, they must be
the same version when installed, or breakage will occur like shown
at this tester report:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/08/msg2083310.html
Mailed the author to find a less fragile solution, but for now we require
all the individual modules, and all at the same version.
* important changes in version 1.39_02 25/08/2008:
- Address #31806: Please add support for bzipped tar files.
Archive::Tar now supports reading/writing tar.bz2 files.
- Since IO::Zlib is now core, it is now a default dependency.
- Added Package::Constants as a dependency to ease the use of A::T::Constants
- Dependency on IO::Compress::Bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 is on
by default, but can be negated with the -n switch when building:
'perl Makefile.PL -n'
- Improve documentation on the new ->iter function
* important changes in version 1.39_01 22/08/2008:
- Address the second part mentioned in this report:
#30380: directory traversal vulnerability in Archive-Tar
Archives are no longer allowed to extract into symlinked directories,
unless Insecure Extract Mode is enabled (which is off by default).
- Add regression tests for this behaviour
- Address #33669 (Could not update timestamp warning on symlinks)
Don't update timestamps on symlinks, they'll modify the original
- Apply core patch: [patch@33971] Archive::Tar was building corrupt
archives on VMS as supplied by John Malmberg
- Address #37375: ptar should allow '-' as an archive_file name
Patch provided by glenn jackman
- Add convenience method ->extract() to A::T::File
- improve docs of A::T::File by adding rv & object in the header
- Address #38580: [PATCH] Archive::Tar->iter
This adds an iterator to Archive::Tar, thanks to Gisle Aas
