Fri Jan 26 16:11:20 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason    (hack@wookumz)

    * diffarch.c (compare_chunk)  Include correct arguments in
    a call to fprintf() for an error msg.
    (compare_chunks, compare_dir)  First argument is a long, not an int.

    * tar.c (options)  Use tar variable (argv[0]) as the name to print
     in an error msg, instead of a constant "tar".
    (confirm)  Use external variable char TTY_NAME[] for name of file
    to open for confirmation input.

    * buffer.c (new_volume)  Ditto.

    * port.c  Add declaration for TTY_NAME[].

    * rmt.h  Add long declarations for lseek() and __rmt_lseek();

Tue Jan 23 14:06:21 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason (hack@wookumz)
    * tar.c, create.c  Create the +newer-mtime option, which is like
    +newer, but only looks for files whose mtime is newer than the
    given date.

    * rtape_lib.c  Make *both* instances of signal-handler stuff use
    void (*foo)() on USG systems.

Thu Jan 11 14:03:45 EST 1990  Jay Fenlason  (hack@wookumz)

    * getdate.y  Parse European dates of the form YYMMDD.
    In ftime()  Init timezone by calling localtime(), and remember that
    timezone is in seconds, but we want timeb->timezone to be in minutes.
    This small patch from Joergen Haegg  ([e-mail])

    * rtape_lib.c (__rmt_open)  Also look for /usr/bsd/rsh.
    Declare signal handler as returning void instead of int if USG is
    defined.

    * port.c Declare WANT_GETWD for SGI 4-D IRIS.

    * Makefile  Include defines for SGI 4D version.  There are a simple
    patch from Mike Muuss ([e-mail]).

    * buffer.c (fl_read)  Work properly on broken Ultrix systems where
    read() returns -1 with errno==ENOSPC on end of tape.  Correctly go
    on to the next volume if f_multivol.

    * list.c (list_archive,print_header)  Flush msg_file after printing
    messages.

    * port.c Delete unused references to alloca().
    Don't crash if malloc() returns zero in quote_copy_string.
    Flush stderr in msg() and msg_perror().

    * tar.c  Flush msg_file after printing confirmation msg.

Wed Jan 10 01:58:46 1990  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * tar.c (main): Change -help option and references to it to +help,
    and remove suggestion to run info (which is unreleased, so not
    likely to be of any help).

Tue Jan  9 16:16:00 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason  (hack @wookumz)

    * create.c (dump_file)  Close file descriptor if start_header()
    fails.
        (dump_file)  Change test for ./ ness to not think that
    .{any character} is a ./  These are both trivial changes from
    Piercarlo "Peter" Grandi  [e-mail]

    * diffarch.c (diff_init)  Print correct number of bytes in error
    message.

Tue Jan  9 03:19:49 1990  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * Makefile: Add comment at top noting that two source files also
    contain #defines that might need to be changed by hand.

    * create.c, diffarch.c, extract.c: Change L_SET to 0 in lseek
    calls, because only BSD defines it.
    * create.c (dump_file): Make sparse file checking code conditional
    on BSD42 because it uses st_blocks, which the other systems lack.

Tue Jan  2 13:35:56 EST 1990 Jay Fenlason (hack@gnu)

    * port.c (quote_copy_string)  Fix so it doesn't scramble memory if
    the last character is non-printable.  A trivial fix from Kian-Tat Lim
    ([e-mail]).

Tue Dec 19 11:19:37 1989  Jim Kingdon  (kingdon at pogo)

    * port.c [BSD42]: Define DOPRNT_MSG.
    tar.h [BSD42]: Do not prototype msg{,_perror}.

Fri Dec  8 11:02:47 EST 1989    Jay Fenlason (hack@gnu)

    * create.c (dump_file)  Remove typo in msg.

Fri Dec  1 19:26:47 1989  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at trix)

    * Makefile: Remove comments referring to certain systems lacking
    getopt, since it is now provided always and needed by all systems.

    * port.c: Remove copy of getopt.c, as it is now linked in
    separately to always get the current version.

    * tar.c: Rename +cat-tars option to +catenate or +concatenate,
    and +local-filesystem to +one-file-system (preferred by rms
    and used in GNU cp for the same purpose).
    (describe): Reflect changes.

Tue Nov 28 04:28:26 1989  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * port.c: Move declaration of alloca into #else /* sparc */
    so it will compile on sparcs.

Mon Nov 27 15:17:08 1989  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * tar.c (options): Remove -version option (replaced by +version).
    (describe): Mention long options.

Sat Nov 25 04:25:23 1989  David J. MacKenzie  (djm at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * getoldopt.c (getoldopt): Make `opt_index' argument a pointer to
    an int, not char.

    * tar.c: Modify long options per rms's suggestions:
    Make preserve-permissions an alias for same-permissions.
    Make preserve-order an alias for same-order.
    Define preserve to mean both of those combined.
    Make old an alias for old-archive.
    Make portability an alias for old-archive, also.
    Rename sym-links to dereference.
    Rename gnudump to incremental.
    Rename filename to file.
    Make compare an alias for diff.  Leave diff but prefer compare.
    Rename blocking-factor to block-size.
    Rename chdir to directory.
    Make uncompress an alias for compress.
    Rename confirm to interactive.
    Make get an alias for extract.
    Rename volume-header to volume.

    Also make +version an alias for -version.

    (options): Shorten code that interprets long options by using
    the equivalent short options' code.  This also makes it tons
    easier to change the long options.

    (describe): Make usage message more internally consistent
    stylistically.

Mon Nov 20 14:55:39 EST 1989    [e-mail]

    * list.c (read_and)  Call check_exclude() to see if the files
    should be skipped on extract or list.

Thu Nov  9 18:59:32 1989  Jim Kingdon  (kingdon at hobbes.ai.mit.edu)

    * buffer.c (fl_read): Fix typos in error message
    "tar EOF not on block boundary".

Mon Oct 23 13:09:40 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * tar.c (long_options[])  Add an option for blocked compression.

Thu Oct 19 13:38:16 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * buffer.c (writeerror)  Print a more useful error msg.

Wed Sep 27 18:33:41 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * tar.c (main)  Mention "tar -help" if the luser types a non-workable
    set of options.

Mon Sep 11 15:03:29 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * tar.c (options)  Have -F correctly set info_script.

Tue Aug 29 12:58:06 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * Makefile  Include ChangeLog in tar.tar and tar.tar.Z

Mon Aug 28 17:42:24 EDT 1989        ([e-mail])

    * tar.c (options) Made -F imply -M
    Also remind tar that the -f option takes an argument!

    * Modified -F option to make it do what (I think) it
    should.  e.g, if you say -F, tar won't send a msg to
    msg_file and wait for a <return> It'll just run the program
    it was given, and when the prog returns, the new tape had
    *better* be ready. . .

    * buffer.c (open_archive)  Give error message and abort if
    the luser didn't give an archive name.

Fri Aug 25 20:05:27 EDT 1989        Joy Kendall (jak at hobbes)

    * Added code to make a new option to run a specified script
    at the end of each tape in a multi-volume backup.  Changed:
    tar.c: made new switch, -F, and new long-named option,
    "info-script".  Code is where you would expect.
    tar.h: added flag f_run_script_at_end, and an extern char *
    called info_script, which optarg gets set to.
    buffer.c: line 1158 in new_volume(): if f_run_script_at_end
    is set, we give info_script to system(), otherwise we do
    what we've always done.  **FIXME** I'm not sure if that's all
    that has to be done here.

(These changes made over the course of 6/89 - 8/89)

    * diffarch.c: diff_archive: Added switches for LF_SPARSE in the
    case statements that needed it.  Also, skip any extended headers
    if we need to when we skip over a file.  (need to change
    the bit about, if the size doesn't agree AND the file is NOT
    sparse, then there's a discrepancy, because I added another
    field to the header which should be able to deal with the
    sizes)   If the file is sparse, call the added routine
    "diff_sparse_files" to compare.  Also added routine
    "fill_in_sparse_array".

    * extract.c: extract_archive: added the switch LF_SPARSE
    to the case statement as needed, and code to treat the
    sparse file.  At label "again_file", modified opening the
    file to see if we should have O_APPEND be one of the modes.
    Added code at label "extract_file" to call the new routine
     "extract_sparse_file" when we have an LF_SPARSE flag.

    Note: really should erase the commented-out code in there,
    because it's confusing.

    * update.c: made sure that if a file needed to be "skipped"
    over, it would check to see if the linkflag was sparse, and
    if so, would then make sure to skip over any "extended
    headers" that might come after the header itself.  Do so by
    calling "skip_extended_headers".

    * create.c: create_archive: added code to detect a sparse
    file when in the long case statement.  Added ways to detect
    extended headers, and label "extend" (ack! should get rid of
    that, is atrocious).  Call the new routine "finish_sparse_file"
    if the linkflag is LF_SPARSE to write the info to the tape.
    Also added routines "init_sparsearray", "deal_with_sparse",
    "clear_buffer", "where_is_data", "zero_record", and
    "find_new_file_size".

    * tar.h:  Added the #define's SPARSE_EXT_HDR and
    SPARSE_IN_HDR.  Added the struct sparse and the struct
    sp_array.  Added the linkflag LF_SPARSE. Changed the tar
     header in several ways:
        - added an array of struct sparse's SPARSE_IN_HDR long
        - added a char flag isextended
        - added a char string realsize to store the true
        size of a sparse file
    Added another choice to the union record called a
    struct extended_header, which is an array of 21 struct
    sparse's and a char isextended flag.  Added flag
    f_sparse_file to list of flags.

    * tar.c: added long-named options to make tar compatible with
    getopt_long, changed Makefile.
