Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2005-641 Moderate: Tar Software Update

The GNU tar program saves many files together in one archive and can

restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar

can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update

or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support,

automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform

remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full

backups.

If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install

the rmt package.

- A file is dumpable if it is sparse and both --sparse

and --totals are specified (#154882)

- exclude err.patch, it causes SEGV (#158743)

- Extract sparse files even if the output fd is not seekable. (#146225)

- (sparse_scan_file): Bugfix. offset had incorrect type

- (sparse_add_map): Fixed improper initializations of sparse_map_size

- fix skipping sparse members in archive(#143969)
