pax/tar 1.3 released
A new version of pax has been released as a binary package
and as source. The binary file of pax doubles for tar. Once installed this should make some packages install more quickly. This release addresses two issues: 1) cacheing performance 2) file permission storage in the archive 1) There was some code I added that used the cacheing code. Turns out the cacheing code has had an error in it since the 4.4 lite release so that when an id (uid/gid) was the primary initial lookup the user/group info was not stored. Now fixed and bug reports back to OpenBSD and FreeBSD. OpenBSD has already made the fix. I'll get NetBSD in the morning (it's getting late). I should probably tell someone at MS too since their pax/tar is of the same origin. Problem originally noticed by jsnivley. 2) For files being stored in the archive if S_ADDACE was true the file permissions getting stored in the archive were mangled. The S_ADDACE bit is now cleared before archiving. A warning about this is printed but can be suppressed with the new '-Q' option (both pax and tar). For more info on S_ADDACE you should be able to read the stat(2) man page but there's no info there. So start a forum thread and ask :-) . Problem originally notice by markfunk. pkg_add ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/3.5/pa...nt-bin.tgz |
