This is -*- Text -*- !!! - -This GNU tar 1.11.2. Please send bug reports, etc., to -bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu. This is a beta-test release. Please -try it out. There is no manual; the release of version 1.12 will -contain a manual. - -GNU tar is based heavily on John Gilmore's public domain tar, but with -added features. The manual is currently being written. - -This distribution also includes rmt, the remote tape server (which -normally must reside in /etc). The mt tape drive control program is -in the GNU cpio distribution. - -See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions for Unix. -See the file NEWS for information on all that is new in this version -of tar. - -makefile.pc is a makefile for Turbo C 2.0 on MS-DOS. - -Various people have been having problems using floppies on a NeXT. In -order to have them work right, you need to kill the automounting -program which tries to monut floppies as soon as they are added. - -If you want to do incremental dumps, use the distributed backup -scripts. They are what we use at the FSF to do all our backups. Most -importantly, do not use --incremental (-G) or --after-date (-N) or ---newer-mtime to do incremental dumps. The only option that works -correctly for this purpose is --listed-incremental. (When extracting -incremental dumps, use --incremental (-G).) - -If your system needs to link with -lPW to get alloca, but has -rename in the C library (so HAVE_RENAME is defined), -lPW might -give you an incorrect version of rename. On HP-UX this manifests -itself as an undefined data symbol called "Error" when linking cp, ln, -and mv. If this happens, use `ar x' to extract alloca.o from libPW.a -and `ar rc' to put it in a library liballoca.a, and put that in LIBS -instead of -lPW. This problem does not occur when using gcc, which -has alloca built in. - |
