Name : tar Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.26 Release : 12.fc18 URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ Summary : A GNU file archiving program Description : The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full backups. If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install the rmt package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This is aggregated update of several bugs fixed already in f19+. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Mar 19 2013 Pavel Raiskup <[email protected]> - 2:1.26-12 - sync manpage help2man - fix problems with big uids/gids and pax format (> 2^21) (#913406) - fix creating sparse pax archives containing files of effective size >8GB (#516309) - allow extracting single volume from multi-volume archive (#919897) * Thu Oct 18 2012 Pavel Raiskup <[email protected]> - 2:1.26-11 - fix bad behaviour of --keep-old-files and add --skip-old-files option (#799252) * Wed Oct 10 2012 Pavel Raiskup <[email protected]> 2:1.26-10 - allow to build tar in difference CoverityScan by forcing the '.gets' patch to be applied even in the run without patches -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #913406 - GNU tar is unable to store UID into posix format when UID > 2^21 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913406 [ 2 ] Bug #516309 - tar fails (on large files >8GB?) with value # out of off_t range 0..8589934591 error https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516309 [ 3 ] Bug #919897 - Extracting from a single volume in a multi-volume archive fails https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919897 [ 4 ] Bug #799252 - Tar --keep-old-files option does not work as expected. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799252 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
