2000-06-16Update to ar.c from Glenn McGrath. His comments follow:Eric Andersen
------------------------------ the attached diff applies to the ar.c i originally submitted Changes Preserve dates now works. Extracted files are set to the uid, gid and mode specified in the archive. Checks for valid end of header marker. Correctly unpacks newer debian files. (has a '\n' character between entries) Added more comments. Cleaned up code. Added a last modified date to help keep track of versions. TODO Common functionality in ar.c are in tar.c should be merged, in particular getOctal and extractSubFile. Should all functions that are used by multiple file go in utilities.c ?
2000-06-09* Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messagesEric Andersen
and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas <kevin@netmaster.com> for helping track this one down. -Erik

-Erik
2000-05-19More libc portability updates, add in the website (which has not beenErik Andersen
archived previously). Wrote 'which' during the meeting today. -Erik
2000-05-12Lots of updates. Finished implementing BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELPErik Andersen
which lets you compile out most of the "--help" output, saving up to 17k. Renamed mnc to nc. -Erik
2000-05-10* cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)Erik Andersen
* zcat works again (wasn't working since option parsing was broken) * more doc updates/more support for BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_HELP -Erik
2000-04-28Fix tarball creation. In an attempt to accomodate the whinersErik Andersen
that wanted "tar cf foo.tar foo" (i.e. no "-" before options) I broke creation of tarballs. Now fixed. -Erik
2000-04-28Latest and greatest. Some effort at libc5 (aiming towards newlib)Erik Andersen
compatability. -Erik
2000-04-21More Doc updates. cmdedit and more termio fixes.Erik Andersen

up with the docs. -Erik
2000-04-14Fix a tar bug: tar removed leading '/'s for symlink targets.Erik Andersen

2000-04-07Slightly better fringe case handling and GNU tar like error messages.Erik Andersen
-Erik
2000-04-07Patch to make killall actually kill all PIDs with the specified name,Erik Andersen
rather then busylooping trying to kill the first one until it dies. Should be more efficient now, and will only send one signal to each specified process. -Erik
2000-04-05Tar now works perfectly. It behaves much better now then itErik Andersen
used to. Only thing left to do is add in exclude (-X) option. -Erik

Seriously though, read the Changelog for busybox 0.42, which this is about to become... -Erik
2000-01-27copyFile could call chmod on a symlink, changing the permsErik Andersen

2000-01-23Fix a bug where tar could change perms and ownership of dirs pointedErik Andersen
to by symlink within a tarball. -Erik
2000-01-23Some busybox updates. You no longer _have_ to put a "-" in front of tarErik Andersen
options, logger is better behaved and has a "-t" option now. init now supports the kernel chroot patch, so you can chroot to a new device and umount the old root. -Erik
2000-01-16tar creation support is now optional.Erik Andersen
-Erik
2000-01-04Bunches of fixes. Typos, bugs, etc.Erik Andersen

special files. -Erik
1999-12-27chown(2) clears S_ISUID and S_ISGID, even when chown isErik Andersen
called as root. Changed ordering of chown and chmod so SGID and SUID file permissions don't get munged. -Erik
1999-12-17Reworked the source so it will compile and run under glibc 2.0.7Erik Andersen
and linux kernel 2.0.36 (though the dubious reasons why someone would want to do that defy imagination ;) -Erik
