* Fri Apr 3 2020 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Drop Requires(pre) info in the preamble: the main package does
not contain any info files, and has not even a pre script. The
- doc subpackage already has the correct deps.
* Fri Jan 31 2020 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- No longer recommend -lang: supplements are in use.
* Mon Mar 25 2019 kstreitova@suse.com

[bsc#1130496] [CVE-2019-9923]
* Improve the testsuite
- remove tar-1.31-tests_dirrem.patch and
tar-1.31-racy_compress_tests.patch that are no longer needed
(applied usptream)
* Fri Mar 15 2019 crrodriguez@opensuse.org
- Remove libattr-devel from buildrequires, tar no longer uses
it but finds xattr functions in libc.
* Thu Feb 14 2019 kstreitova@suse.com
- update to version 1.31
* Fix heap-buffer-overrun with --one-top-level, bug introduced
with the addition of that option in 1.28
* Support for zstd compression
* New option '--zstd' instructs tar to use zstd as compression
program. When listing, extractng and comparing, zstd compressed
archives are recognized automatically. When '-a' option is in
effect, zstd compression is selected if the destination archive
name ends in '.zst' or '.tzst'.
* The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the
command line. Names of members to extract can be specified along
with the "-K NAME" option. In this case, tar will extract NAME
and those of named members that appear in the archive after it,
which is consistent with the semantics of the option. Previous
versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
appeared before it, and everything after it.
* Fix CVE-2018-20482 - When creating archives with the --sparse
option, previous versions of tar would loop endlessly if a
sparse file had been truncated while being archived.

tar to refuse to extract files from standard input.
* Tue Dec 21 2004 mmj@suse.de
- Update to tar-1.15 including:
- Features:
o Compressed archives are recognised automatically, it is no
longer necessary to specify -Z, -z, or -j options to read
them. Thus, you can now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.
o When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
from being purged. With the previous versions of tar it was
dangerous to create incremental dumps with --one-file-system
option, since they would recursively remove mount points when
restoring from the back up. This change fixes the bug.
o Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
the GNU convention.
o Skipping archive members is sped up if the archive media supports
seeks.
o Restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a)
option, or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.
o `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
the file names had their prefixes stripped off.
o New option --exclude-caches instructs tar to exclude cache
directories automatically on archive creation. Cache directories
are those containing a standardized tag file, as specified at:
http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html
o New configure option --with-rmt allows to specify full path
name to the `rmt' utility. This supercedes DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND
variable introduced in version 1.14
o New configure variable DEFAULT_RMT_DIR allows to specify the
directory where to install `rmt' utility. This is necessary
since modifying --libexecdir as was suggested for version 1.14
produced a side effect: it also modified installation prefix
for backup scripts (if --enable-backup-scripts was given).
- Bugfixes:
o Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
o Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option.
o GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than
100 characters. Do not allow multivolume archives to begin
with such filenames.
o If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
extracted copy in such cases.
o Restore script was passing improper argument to tar --listed
option (which didn't affect the functionality, but was
logically incorrect).
o Fixed verification of created archives.
o Fixed unquoting of file names containing backslash escapes (previous
versions failed to recognize \a and \v).
o When attempting to delete a non-existing member from the
archive, previous versions of tar used to overwrite last
archive block with zeroes.

- draht@suse.de: package rsh is needed for build of tar(1) to
enable rsh remote command execution.
two successive execl() calls to /usr/bin/rsh with different
args/remote commands do not make sense since the first execl() is
successful if /usr/bin/rsh exists. Check for existence of /etc/rmt
on the remote side and execute it, else exec /sbin/rmt . (#12605)
