On extraction and listing, tarlz now removes leading './' strings also from
|
|
|
|
|
member names given in the command line. 'tarlz -xf foo ./bar' now extracts
|
|
|
|
|
member 'bar' from archive 'foo'. (Reported by Viktor Sergiienko in the
|
|
|
|
|
bug-tar mailing list).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tarlz now writes extended headers with all fields zeroed except size,
|
|
|
|
|
chksum, typeflag, magic and version. This prevents old tar programs from
|
|
|
|
|
extracting the extended records as a file in the wrong place (with a
|
|
|
|
|
truncated filename). Tarlz now also sets to zero those fields of the ustar
|
|
|
|
|
header overridden by extended records.

|
The chapter 'Amendments to pax format', explaining the reasons for the
|
|
|
|
|
differences with the pax format, has been added.
