2005-02-23Add RMD160 digests in addition to SHA1 ones.agc1-1/+2
2004-05-02fix install user/group on darwindanw1-1/+2
2003-02-23Updated to version 1.4.3.salo1-3/+3
Changes: - Support for BSDi version 4.x - Suport for BSDi on sparc - Support for sparc64 FreeBSD - Support for i786-cygwin - Added +DAportable to the HP-UX cc compiler flags - New Platform 9000-831-hp-ux-cc - Added floatingpint printing support for OS/2 - Added support for macppc-netbsd-cc NetBSD on MAC - Workaround for an OpenBSD bug in ctype.h (illegaly #defines EOF) - Added IPv6 support to 'rmt' - Better casting for debug printf() in 'rmt' - Better autoconfiguration for librmt and its users yields in better compilation and portability results for OS that do not support the needed internet features for remote tape support. - Special support for an undocumented but unfortunately important "feature" for symlinks on HP-UX. Now star tries to retain the permissions of a symlink by stting umask() before creating the symlink. - Fixed a bug that caused star to be unable to correctly deal with ACLs where the user or group name contains spaces. - Workaround for reading rotten archives caused by above bug. - Fixed a bug that caused star to create broken archives if the POSIX.1-2001 extended format is used for sparse files > 8 GB. For this reason, a new extended header tag SCHILY.realsize has been added. - Fixed a bug that caused star to dump core on UNIX-98 TAR compat mode with e.g. 'star cbv' because star did not check for the missing arg to the -b option. - 'star -n -tpath ...' now only prints the pathnames to allow to use the ooutput directly in scripts. If you like the old behavior, use 'star -nv ...'
2002-12-16Updated star to 1.4.2.grant1-3/+3
Major changes since 1.4.1: - printf() now correctly handles %X vs. %x on 64 bit machines Removed a 20 year old local extension that became non-portable. - new 'librmt', which may be used by any external program like e.g. dump/restore to improve cross platform compatibility. - librmt now allows the use of ssh(1) for remote tape access. - smt benefits from librmt and now gives platform independent 'mt status' output in remote mode. - New option -wready for smt. - Better man page for 'rmt'. - Handle a seek error problem in create mode correctly when checking for reading past max possible file size on non-large file OS. - Correctly propagate write/read errors from FIFO to star. - Add support for SIGINFO (*BSD) as a courtesy to BSD users. - Do not open /dev/tty if a newvolume script is present. This allows the use of star from cron scripts. - Fixed a bug in the ACL handling code on Linux that caused star to recognize ACL comments as ACL entries and include them in the archive. - Work around to allow star to read ACL enhanced archives that include bogus entries that really were ACL comments created by the bug above.

2002-09-25Make this package build on arm. The same principle should apply tocjep1-1/+2
other CPU families, but I haven't tested those.

2002-06-26Initial import of Star 1.4.1. DESCR is written by the author, Joerg Schillinguebayasi1-0/+4
<schilling@fokus.gmd.de>. Star is a full-featured tar command that can access local and remote tar archives (files and tapes). It reads and writes POSIX compliant tar archives as well as non-POSIX GNU tar archives. Star is the first POSIX.1-2001 compliant tar implementation. It includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability to archive sparse files and ACLs and the ability to archive extended file flags. It supports utomatic archive format detection, automatic byte order recognition, automatic archivecompression/decompression. It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server program that implements all Sun/GNU/Schily/BSD enhancements and allows any "rmt" client from any OS to contact any OS as server.
