forks/toybox - Toybox with POSIX patches from E5ten

Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2020-06-23	William Djupström reported tar --exclude wasn't working. Fix and add test.	Rob Landley
	(Also fix -v output going to stderr when it shouldn't.)
2020-06-09	tar: fix bugs with adding hardlinks to archive	William Djupström via Toybox

2020-06-08	tar: fix extracting long file paths	William Djupström

2020-03-23	tar: implement --absolute-names.	Elliott Hughes
	Used by the Linux kernel build when copying kernel headers to kernel-headers.tar.gz. Bug: http://b/152244851
2020-03-18	Fix WARN_ONLY (and the one caller feeding it in the field it was checking).	Rob Landley

2020-03-13	Fix various typos.	Elliott Hughes
	In case I'm not yet in the running for the most pedantic change of this release, I think the "days of the week are written with initial capitals in English" subset of this patch is a strong contender. (Found via `toybox help -a \| ispell -l \| sort \| uniq`.)
2020-02-02	Canonicalize the usage: lines for the POSIX toys.	Elliott Hughes
	This only touches 24 of the 68 toys/posix/ files --- the others were already canonical. Potentially contentious, so worth stating explicitly, is that there were 8 matches for "COMMAND..." amongst all existing help output, with 7 matches for various inconsistent variants involving something with "ARG", so I resolved that in favor of using "COMMAND..." (which is also shorter overall, and avoids nested []s).
2019-12-28	Change variable type to avoid typecast.	Rob Landley

2019-12-28	tar: fix memory write error	Emmanuel Nicolet
	Clear the last byte of the allocated buffer.
2019-11-13	Pedantic constant annotations to shut up older toolchains.	Rob Landley

2019-10-27	Tar extract should delete files or symlinks where it's making a directory,	Rob Landley
	but --restrict checking should run on the path up to the last component before unlinking so tar can't be tricked into deleting random files off the system.
2019-10-04	Fix extracting old tarballs, not just -tv of them.	Rob Landley

2019-10-03	Improve support for extracting older tarball formats.	Rob Landley

2019-09-18	Fix tar creation with hole at end.	Rob Landley
	The "gratuitous extra entry" is only gratuitous when there isn't a hole. (Which we can detect and not include but then we wouldn't match other implementations.)
2019-09-16	bug: tar tvf blah.tar.xz was running xz when it meant xzcat.	Rob Landley

2019-09-15	Fix tar files that end sparse (need to call truncate), and display/export	Rob Landley
	length of sparse files properly.
2019-06-25	tar: implement --mode.	Elliott Hughes
	Used by build/make/tools/mktarball.sh in AOSP. (Which is why today's switch to toybox tar got reverted.)
2019-06-01	Teach file to recognize xz archives and old style tarballs.	Rob Landley

2019-06-01	Teach tar to extract older tarballs.	Rob Landley

2019-05-25	Toybox doesn't provide bzip2 or xz compression side (and the roadmap has it as	Rob Landley
	out of scope), but the AOSP build airlock doesn't provide bzcat and friends. So tar needs to be able to use both: check for *zcat first, and fall back to "compressor -d" if it's not there.
2019-05-23	tar: turns out --sparse is also known as -S.	Elliott Hughes
	Found trying to build the aosp_cf_x86_phone-userdebug target. The good news is that the targets that I knew were using tar with sparse files all pass now.
2019-05-20	Less incomplete tar help text.	Rob Landley

2019-05-19	Fix tar sparse extract with extension blocks.	Rob Landley

2019-05-19	Fix tar --sparse generation of extension block.	Rob Landley

2019-05-19	Add pointless trailing --sparse entry for exact binary compartibility.	Rob Landley
	There's no possible use for this, but debian's tar produces it, so...
2019-05-19	Add --sparse file creation support to tar.	Rob Landley
	And fix tar cv to produce output to stderr when archive going to stdout.
2019-05-14	Checked in a debugging printf. Oops.	Rob Landley

2019-05-14	Typo caused a segfault. (Oops.)	Rob Landley

2019-05-13	Fix a couple error paths that don't continue archive create/extract properly.	Rob Landley

2019-05-11	Teach tar to extract type 'S' sparse file headers.	Rob Landley

2019-05-01	tar: use same tools for decompression as for compression.	Elliott Hughes
	This is what GNU tar does, so Android's build system jail allows bzip2, gzip, and xz, but not bzcat, zcat, and xzcat. Why the function? Because auto-detection works by setting toyflags, so we need to make sure we test the flags late, so it's either two copies of this or a function.
2019-04-21	Promote tar.	Rob Landley
	There's probably more to do, but it seems usable at this point.
