Since you + really want most of the output to go to the logfile anyway, and + since all those pipelines were preventing one from getting the + exit status of most commands, this seems like the right idea. + + * level-0, level-1 (LOGFILE): Use YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format + for log file name, since that makes the file names sortable in a + coherent way. Suffix should always be `level-n' where n is the + dump level. level-0 script was just using `-full' instead. + + * level-0, level-1 (DUMP_LEVEL): New variable.

Use it in Subject + line of mailed report. + + * level-0, level-1: Fixed all instances where sed is called with a + script on the command line to use `-e' option. + + * level-0, level-1: Don't try to call logfile.sed to filter + LOGFILE. It's not distributed with tar and was never really used + anyway. + + * level-0, level-1: Put quotes around most variable names (barring + those that are known to intentionally contain text that should be + expanded into multiple words, like `TAR_PART1'). + + * level-0, level-1: Got rid of annoying trailing backslashes in awk + scripts. They were gratuitous.

Also added routine + "fill_in_sparse_array". + + * extract.c: extract_archive: added the switch LF_SPARSE + to the case statement as needed, and code to treat the + sparse file. At label "again_file", modified opening the + file to see if we should have O_APPEND be one of the modes. + Added code at label "extract_file" to call the new routine + "extract_sparse_file" when we have an LF_SPARSE flag. + + Note: really should erase the commented-out code in there, + because it's confusing. + + * update.c: made sure that if a file needed to be "skipped" + over, it would check to see if the linkflag was sparse, and + if so, would then make sure to skip over any "extended + headers" that might come after the header itself. Do so by + calling "skip_extended_headers". + + * create.c: create_archive: added code to detect a sparse + file when in the long case statement. Added ways to detect + extended headers, and label "extend" (ack! should get rid of + that, is atrocious). Call the new routine "finish_sparse_file" + if the linkflag is LF_SPARSE to write the info to the tape. + Also added routines "init_sparsearray", "deal_with_sparse", + "clear_buffer", "where_is_data", "zero_record", and + "find_new_file_size". + + * tar.h: Added the #define's SPARSE_EXT_HDR and + SPARSE_IN_HDR. Added the struct sparse and the struct + sp_array. Added the linkflag LF_SPARSE. Changed the tar + header in several ways: + - added an array of struct sparse's SPARSE_IN_HDR long + - added a char flag isextended + - added a char string realsize to store the true + size of a sparse file + Added another choice to the union record called a + struct extended_header, which is an array of 21 struct + sparse's and a char isextended flag. Added flag + f_sparse_file to list of flags. + + * tar.c: added long-named options to make tar compatible with + getopt_long, changed Makefile. + +... ... .. ..:..:.. ... ....
