Suggestions for improving GNU tar. * <45BEC0DB.8040903@unix-beratung.de> * Incorporate fixes from major distributions, e.g., Debian GNU/Linux. * Add support for restoring file time stamps to sub-second resolution, if the file system supports this. * Add support for restoring the attributes of symbolic links, for OSes like FreeBSD that have the lutimes and lchmod functions. * --append should bail out if the two archives are of different types. * Add support for a 'pax' command that conforms to POSIX 1003.1-2001. This would unify paxutils with tar. * Interoperate better with Joerg Schilling's star implementation. * Add an option to remove files that compare successfully. From: Roesinger Eric <ROESINGE@tce.com> Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2001 18:43:43 -0500 It would be useful to be able to use '--remove-files' with '--diff', to remove all files that compare successfully, when verifying a backup. * Add tests for the new functonality. * Consider this: From: Dennis Pund Subject: TAR suggestion... Date: Wed, 1 May 2002 18:26:36 -0500 (EST) What I would like to do is: foo my.tar.gz | tar -xzOf - | tar -cMf - -L 650000 - | bar where 'foo' is a program that retrieves the archive and streams it to stdout and bar is a program that streams the stdin to CDR.
