Hello, This is to inform you that version 1.33 of GNU tar is available for download. Please see the end of this message for a summary of changes in this release.
Here are the compressed sources: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.gz (4.2MB) http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.bz2 (2.9MB) http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.xz (2.2MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.gz.sig http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.bz2.sig http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar/tar-1.33.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: de0816a6bae5d2a982d9bde76b79b291 tar-1.33.tar.gz 6a2b2a0bfe298ba8402ebbb59e7c563a tar-1.33.tar.bz2 e536d6621f9ad06df65c177348bb1215 tar-1.33.tar.xz 38780f32d3560a87c27a3b003f61657ee59926fe tar-1.33.tar.gz 485c8e68aed41cd0424ae16ebef6bb15f864ed14 tar-1.33.tar.bz2 3324ae8282ba549fb8d8dd929ddd4f4e866238ad tar-1.33.tar.xz [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify tar-1.33.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. Noteworthy changes in this release: * POSIX extended format headers do not include PID by default The intent is to make binary-equivalent PAX archives easy to create. If POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the POSIX standard default is used, which embeds the pid. * --delay-directory-restore works for archives with reversed member ordering * Fix extraction of a symbolic link hardlinked to another symbolic link * Wildcards in exclude-vcs-ignore mode don't match slash * Fix the --no-overwrite-dir option Given this option, previous versions of tar failed to preserve permissions of empty directories and to create files under directories owned by the current user that did not have the S_IWUSR bit set. * Fix handling of chained renames in incremental backups * Link counting works for file names supplied with -T * Accept only position-sensitive (file-selection) options in file list files. Using such options as -f, -z, etc. is senseless in a file list file and bypasses option consistency checks in decode_options. Therefore, only options related to file selection (a.k.a position-sensitive options) are allowed in file list files. Best regards, Sergey -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
