Short: GNUTar with UNIX compatible file protection bits
Uploader: Osma.Ahvenlampi@hut.fi
Type: util/shell
This is a patch to the recent GNUTar10-2.lha archive. That port of GNU tar
works decently, but it has a serious problem for anyone who wants to use tar
to exchange files between UNIX and Amiga. Since it retains all Amiga file
protection bits, the archives come up very much screwed up when extracted on
a UNIX platform, and vice versa.
This patch makes an attempt to translate Amiga protection bits to the closest
UNIX equivalents. When extracting UNIX archives, it also sets the group and
world bits as specified in the archive, for those with multiuser filesystems.
When creating an archive, these bits are unfortunately not retained, since
SAS/C's stat() function ignores them.
The changed source files are included, for the rest of the files, see
GNUTar10-2.lha.
