| Release: 4.3.1 | Build date: Fri Mar 12 02:12:13 2010 |

| Summary: GNU implementation of tar ((t)ape (ar)chiver) | |
This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides
remote tape drive control. Since there are compatible versions of 'rmt'
in either the 'star' package or the 'dump' package, we didn't put 'rmt'
into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features
provided by tar you have to also install the 'dump' or the 'star'
package.

- update to version 1.16:
Bugfixes:
* Avoid running off file descriptors when using multiple -C options.
* tar --index-file=FILE --file=- sent the archive to FILE, and
the listing to stderr.
* Detect attempts to update compressed archives.
* Allow non-option arguments to be interspersed with options.
* Previous version created invalid archives when files shrink
during reading.
* Compare mode (tar d) hanged when trying to compare file contents.
* Previous versions in certain cases failed to restore directory
modification times.
New features:
* New option --mtime allows to set modification times
* New option --transform allows to transform file names before
storing
* --strip-components option works when deleting and comparing.
* New option --show-transformed-names
* Short option -l is now an alias of --check-links option,
which complies with UNIX98
* The --checkpoint option takes an optional argument specifying
the number of records between the two successive checkpoints.
* The --totals option can be used with any tar operation
* Any number of -T (--files-from) options may be used in the
command line.
* List files containing null-separated file names are detected
and processed automatically.
* New option --no-unquote disables the unquoting of input file
names.
* New option --test-label tests the archive volume label.
* New option --show-stored-names.

to the specified command.
* New option --atime-preserve=system
* New option --delay-directory-restore
* New option --restrict prohibits use of some potentially harmful
