Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-141:
-----------------------------------------
Actually the code already reads GNU long names just fine, BSD is not supported
at all, neither is writing the GNU format which is difficult to do in a
streaming fashion.
I haven't managed to create a BSD formatted archive as the BSD ar command on
minotaur creates a GNU format archive, strange.
> Support longer file names in AR

> Key: COMPRESS-141
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-141
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
> Priority: Minor
>
> Traditionally file names in AR are restricted to 16 bytes and the current
> code fully supports this. Two different dialects exist to overcome this (BSD
> and SVR4/GNU) and our code should probably support both of them when reading
> and a configurable version when writing.
