Adds the following:
. tries to be "space safe" in the file names (untested)
. handle a couple more RCS ids being used by nvi
. handle properly several RCS ids on one line (happens in nvi)
... and of course adapt everything to nvi
- fix bugs in link resolver, mostly affecting bsdcpio [from NetBSD]
- fix bsdcpio -p for hardlinks
- correctness improvements for directory name handling with ustar format
- handle empty filenames correctly
- allow bsdtar -r and -T to be used together as well as --format with -r
and -u.
Changes in this release:
* Clauses 3 and 4 of the BSD license used by the project were dropped.
All the code is now under a 2-clause BSD license compatible with the
GNU General Public License (GPL).
* Added a C-only binding so that binary test programs do not need to be
tied to C++ at all. This binding is now known as the atf-c library.
* Renamed the C++ binding to atf-c++ for consistency with the new atf-c.
* Renamed the POSIX shell binding to atf-sh for consistency with the new
atf-c and atf-c++.
* Added a -w flag to test programs through which it is possible to specify
the work directory to be used. This was possible in prior releases by
defining the workdir configuration variable (-v workdir=...), but was a
conceptually incorrect mechanism.
* Test programs now preserve the execution order of test cases when they
are given in the command line. Even those mentioned more than once are
executed multiple times to comply with the user's requests.
in which "/wherever/src.2/../tools" was incorrectly changed to
"/wherever/src./tools" instead of the desired "/wherever/tools".
It's not clear to me that this script has any business trying to do this
sort of rewriting (and there's no guarantee that "/wherever/foo/.." and
"/wherever" both refer to the same place), but at least the new code
tries to be more careful than the old code.
