Bear Giles updated COMPRESS-132:
--------------------------------
Attachment: dump.zip
This is a proof-of-concept implementation for dump archive files. It handles
ZLIB compression (and can easily add BZLIB compression when available) and
sparse files. I haven't added support for extended attributes yet or for
deleted files (in incremental backups) yet.
I have verified the test extraction of a 1GB compressed backup.
> Add support for unix dump files

> Key: COMPRESS-132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-132
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Archivers
> Reporter: Bear Giles
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: dump.zip
>
>
> I'm submitting a series of patches to the ext2/3/4 dump utility and noticed
> that the commons-compress library doesn't have an archiver for it. It's as
> old as tar and fills a similar niche but the later has become much more
> widely used. Dump includes support for sparse files, extended attributes, mac
> os finder, SELinux labels (I think), and more. Incremental dumps can capture
> that files have been deleted.
> I should have initial support for a decoder this weekend. I can read the
> directory entries and inode information (file permissions, etc.) but need a
> bit more work on extracting the content as an InputStream.
