---------------------------------------
Summary: Long link support for TarArchiveOutputStream
Key: COMPRESS-237
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-237
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archivers
Affects Versions: 1.5
Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
TarArchiveOutputStream doesn't handle properly long link names, they are
truncated silently in most cases.
* In GNU mode a @LongLink entry should be created similarly to long names but
with the 'K' type ({{GNU_LONGLINK}}) instead of 'L' ({{GNU_LONGNAME}})
* In POSIX mode a pax header with the {{linkpath}} keyword should be added.
This is already implemented for links containing a non ASCII character.
* In the default ERROR mode no exception is thrown and the link is truncated.
The logic for adding a pax header on non ASCII characters should probably be
reworked, as it seems possible to have pax headers mixed with GNU @LongLink
entries. I'm not sure this is desirable.
