Upcoming Changes

Version 1.10

Implemented force-setting permissions for files/dirs and force-setting UID/GID.

Better info is printed for directories in file format version 2 when using test mode -t.

Fix case when archiving from read-only directory:

  • A temporary file is usually created to store compressed archive chunks/files which is located where the files are. This version falls-back to using tmpfile() if the first attempt to create a temporary file fails.

Version 1.9

Add file format 2 to handle archiving empty directories.

Default file format is now version 2.

Fix edge case where archiving only empty files breaks.
Currently archiving empty files with a compressor is broken. May not fix since a compressor is not needed if only empty files are archived.

Add iterator for data structure priority heap.

Version 1.8

Minor refactorings related to printf and uintX_t/size_t types.

Version 1.7

Refactor the internal hash-map data structure.

Minor update to CMakeLists.txt.

Version 1.6

Enforce "safe-links" on extraction by ensuring every extracted symlink actually points to a file in the archive. Additionally any extracted symlinks that don't point to a valid destination is removed. This "enforce safe-links on extract" can be disabled with the "--no-safe-links" option.

Add "--preserve-symlinks" option that will verbatim store the symlinks' target. Not recommended if symlinks are pointing to absolute paths, which will be clobbered on extraction to a different directory unless if "--no-safe-links" is specified on extraction.

Version 1.5

Previous file-format-v1 implementation of "safe links" still created a symlink if a relative or absolute link existed in the file. This version fixes this, and prevents invalid symlinks from being created. (This check is only done if the bit-flag is set in the file as mentioned in the file-format spec for v1 files.)

Version 1.4

Do "safe links" behavior by default: symlinks pointing to outside of archived files (or invalid symlinks) should not be included in the archive, unless if the option "--no-safe-links" is specified. This is supported in both v0 and v1 file formats.

Version 1.3

Prevent simplearchiver from busy-waiting during non-blocking IO by sleeping in "EWOULDBLOCK" conditions. This results in less consumed cpu time by the process, especially during compression.

Version 1.2

Proper handling of Ctrl+C (SIGINT). This prevents temporary files from persisting by doing a proper cleanup before stopping the program.

Version 1.1

More robust handling of de/compression process (handling SIGPIPE).

By default files are now pre-sorted by size before placed into chunks.
Add option to NOT pre-sort files by size.

Version 1.0

First release.

Features:

  • Can specify any command as de/compressor when archiving.
    • The commands must accept file data in stdin and output processed data to stdout.
  • Can specify any command as decompressor when extracting to override the simple-archive's stored decompressor.
  • Archives/compresses into chunks to reduce overhead by compressing per chunk instead of per file.
  • Chunk size can be tweaked by a parameter setting.
  • Can archive without de/compressor to be compressed separately.
  • Supports pre-version-1 simple archiver file format (version 0).
  • Archives regular files and symlinks.
  • Keeps track of files and symlink permissions.
  • Keeps track of file UID and GID (only set if extracting as root).
  • Can be set to ignore absolute paths for symlinks by parameter setting.
