tar-1.15.1-9.4 RPM for i586

From SuSE Linux 10.0-OSS updates for i386 / rpm / i586

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.

* Tue Dec 21 2004 - mmj@suse.de
  - Update to 1.15.1 which fixes a bug introduced in 1.15 which caused
    tar to refuse to extract files from standard input.
* Tue Dec 21 2004 - mmj@suse.de
  - Update to tar-1.15 including:
  - Features:
    o Compressed archives are recognised automatically, it is no
    longer necessary to specify -Z, -z, or -j options to read
    them.  Thus, you can now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.
    o When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
    prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
    from being purged. With the previous versions of tar it was
    dangerous to create incremental dumps with --one-file-system
    option, since they would recursively remove mount points when
    restoring from the back up. This change fixes the bug.
    o Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
    the GNU convention.
    o Skipping archive members is sped up if the archive media supports
    seeks.
    o Restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a)
    option, or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.
    o `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
    the file names had their prefixes stripped off.
    o New option --exclude-caches instructs tar to exclude cache
    directories automatically on archive creation. Cache directories
    are those containing a standardized tag file, as specified at:
    http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html
    o New configure option --with-rmt allows to specify full path
    name to the `rmt' utility. This supercedes DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND
    variable introduced in version 1.14
    o New configure variable DEFAULT_RMT_DIR allows to specify the
    directory where to install `rmt' utility. This is necessary
    since modifying --libexecdir as was suggested for version 1.14
    produced a side effect: it also modified installation prefix
    for backup scripts (if --enable-backup-scripts was given).
  - Bugfixes:
    o Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
    o Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option.
    o GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than
    100 characters.  Do not allow multivolume archives to begin
    with such filenames.
    o If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
    previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
    were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
    lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
    extracted copy in such cases.
    o Restore script was passing improper argument to tar --listed
    option (which didn't affect the functionality, but was
    logically incorrect).
    o Fixed verification of created archives.
    o Fixed unquoting of file names containing backslash escapes (previous
    versions failed to recognize \a and \v).
    o When attempting to delete a non-existing member from the
    archive, previous versions of tar used to overwrite last
    archive block with zeroes.

  - draht@suse.de: package rsh is needed for build of tar(1) to
    enable rsh remote command execution.
    two successive execl() calls to /usr/bin/rsh with different
    args/remote commands do not make sense since the first execl() is
    successful if /usr/bin/rsh exists. Check for existence of /etc/rmt
    on the remote side and execute it, else exec /sbin/rmt . (#12605)
