1998-03-31only preserve uid/gid if -p. This is unlike traditional tar but more like gtarTodd C. Miller
1998-03-03Correct -x and -p flags to be more like traditional tar and makeTodd C. Miller
the man page reflect reality. The -p flag only preserves the file mode (irrespective of umask) if possible. The -x flag tries to set user/group, mtime, and mode.
1998-01-22Preserve uid/gid if invoked as tar and extracting as root.Todd C. Miller
This is traditional tar behavior.

1997-06-06POSIX says pax must complain about not being able to set permissionsTodd C. Miller
but we don't have to do that in non-pax modes.
1997-06-04Don't complain about not being able to set uid/gid in "tar -p"Todd C. Miller
(EPERM) unless the verbose flag is given or the user is root. Noted by Magnus Holmberg <mho@stacken.kth.se>.
1997-06-04Fix usage of l_strncpy() (noticed by Theo) and make l_strncpy()Todd C. Miller
pad with NULL's like strncpy(3). This eliminates the need for zf_strncpy(); ocurrences of zf_strncpy() have been changed to l_strncpy().

"preserve leading /" like GNU tar (no longer use -S for this).
1997-04-06Allow creation of archives with block sizes up to 64512 bytesTodd C. Miller
but complain about non-portability if > 32256 bytes. Brought up by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>

1997-04-05Strip leading '/' of pathnames (only in tar mode). -S option turnsTodd C. Miller
this off like GNU tar.
1997-04-04Improvements based on commets by George Robbins <grr@shandakor.tharsis.com>Todd C. Miller
- ``tar cf'' will now just exit instead of waiting for a file list on stdin. The old behavior should be re-enabled with an option. - Better wording in tar man page for -o and -w
1997-04-02opt_add() needs to make a copy of the input string since it modifiesTodd C. Miller
it and new compilers don't let you write to constant strings. Problem (core dump when using -o) noted by Felix Schroeter.

1997-03-30Adjust the input string by the right amount if the pattern wasn't at theTodd C. Miller
beginning. From NetBSD (mycroft).

``real'' tars.
1997-03-25Back out my previous kludge to make tar files with short trailers work inTodd C. Miller
favor of a simpler change--never try to do a media change when invoked as tar. This fixes problems that crop up if gzip exits unhappily and others.
