* Add -D (deterministic) option to ar.kientzle2010-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | When set, it forces all timestamps and owners to zero and modes to 0644. Useful for producing libraries that are bitwise identical across multiple build runs. Submitted by: Erik Cederstrand Reviewed by: Kai Wang
* Removed ar(1)'s support for compressed archives. This change removeskaiw2010-05-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ar(1)'s dependencies on compressor libraries -lz, -lbz2 and -llzma and fixes building HEAD on some versions of FreeBSD[78]. Option -j and -z is now accepted but ignored. Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.

* Add support for option "-M", which is used to operate ar(1) in akaiw2008-09-201-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | script mode like the MRI(Microtec Research Inc.) "librarian" program. Originally this option is provided by Binutils ar(1) to ease the transition for developers who are used to writing "librarian" scripts. We added this option to BSD ar(1) because: 1. Further improve the compatibility with Binutils ar(1). 2. There are still a few software using this -M option. (at least one in our ports collection) Suggested by: rink & erwin
* GNU ar did NOT implment option -q as a synonym of -r as the manualkaiw2008-03-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | page stated, thus BSD ar(1) option -q, which was implemented based on the GNU ar manual page, turns out to be incompatible with GNU ar -q. This change will make BSD ar(1) -q a *REAL* GNU ar -q: 1. It will update symbol table. (same as unfixed version) 2. It will NOT compare new members spcified in the command line args with existing members, instead, append them directly.
