Archivation Software
This category gathers projects related to file archivation, i.e. creation and handling of files keeping a collection of files along with their metadata.
To facilitate navigating in this list, projects are categorized by their purpose, authorship, and current state. Each project entry lists the categories it pertains to. Clicking on a category name will bring a listing of all projects in that category.
Additionally, a list of related projects is provided where applicable. Each element in that list is a link to the corresponding project entry.
Clicking on a project's name will bring this project's entry as a separate page (a permalink).
Hovering your mouse over the version information of a project shows the list of changes introduced by that version.
Sort controls below allow you to order the list either lexicographically or by the most recent release date, in both directions.
Using the Search control, you can select projects by name. Shell-style globbing patterns (wildcards) are accepted.

File::BackupCopy
- Change bugtracker address.
Perl extension for creating backup file copies. Three backup naming schemes are supported: simple backup creates backup file name by appending single tilde character to the original file name, numbered backup creates backup name by suffixing the original file name with .~N~, where N is a decimal number. Finally, automatic backup selects numbered scheme if at least one numbered backup file already exists and falls back to the simple backup otherwise.
cpio
* New option --ignore-dirnlink Valid in copy-out mode, it instructs cpio to ignore the actual number of links reported for each directory member and always store 2 instead. * Changes in --reproducible option The --reproducible option implies --ignore-dirlink. In other words, it is equivalent to --ignore-devno --ignore-dirnlink --renumber-inodes. * Use GNU ls algorithm for deciding timestamp format in -tv mode * Bugfixes ** Fix cpio header verification. ** Fix handling of device numbers on copy out. ** Fix calculation of CRC in copy-out mode. ** Rewrite the fix for CVE-2015-1197. ** Fix combination of --create --append --directory. ** Fix appending to archives bigger than 2G.
GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports a wide variety of archive formats.
paxutils
Paxutils is intended to provide a set of archiver programs. It will include tar and cpio utilities and will provide POSIX pax program.
tar
* Fix extraction over pipe (savannah bug #60002) * Fix memory leak in read_header (savannah bug #59897) * Fix extraction when . and .. are unreadable See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2021-01/msg00012.html * Gracefully handle duplicate symlinks when extracting See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2021-01/msg00026.html * Re-initialize supplementary groups when switching to user privileges
GNU tar is an archiver program. It is used to create and manipulate files that are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data.
