-The tar archives in this directory have been obtained from here:
-
- https://github.com/mgorny/tar-test-inputs
-
- git commit hash a2110a6
-
-This repository was linked in the following article on interoperability of
-various different tar programs:
-
- https://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/articles/portability-of-tar-features.html
-
-The original intention of the example archives was to test various tar programs
-for interoperability with each others extensions and format quirks.
-
-The following have been removed since there is no intention in adding support
-for those features:
-
- - volume-label tests
- - multi-volume tests
- - longe user + group names
- - sun tar samples
- - star samples
- - file flags tests
-
-In addition to that, the files in "file-size" are truncated, since we are only
-interested in parsing the header.
-
-The following addtional files have been added:
- - xattr/xattr-shily-binary.tar
- Created from xattr/xattr-shily.tar by manually patching in a capability
- xattr key/value pair.
- - tar/format-acceptance/link_filled.tar
- Contributed in GitHub issue #64. A tar ball that contains a hard link
- where the 100 byte target field is completely filled without containing
- a null-terminator.
