Hi all,
A potential version 1.0.37 of the Tarsnap client code is ready for testing.
You can find the new code at
https://www.tarsnap.com/download/tarsnap-autoconf-1.0.37a.tgz
and the tarball has SHA256 hash
25449f87c5f46191c9efd085a209d3f0de8839566dc5e2ce63064fe338d1c718
You can also see all the changes between 1.0.36 and this version in the
newly-public git repository at
https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap
Substantive changes in this code compared to tarsnap 1.0.36:
* tarsnap-key(gen|mgmt|regen) now accept a --passphrase-time option,
which specifies the duration to be spent on computing the derived keys
used for encrypting the tarsnap key file.
* tarsnap now accepts a --keep-going option when deleting or printing
statistics about multiple archives.
* tarsnap-keymgmt now accepts a --print-key-permissions option for
listing the permissions contained in a key file.
* tarsnap --print-stats now accepts a --csv-file option for printing
statistics in comma-separated-value format.
* tarsnap now accepts a --verify-config command which exits silently
after checking the configuration file(s) for syntax errors.
* tarsnap now looks for a server named "v1-0-0-server.tarsnap.com"
instead of the historic "betatest-server.tarsnap.com" hostname. This
should have no user-visible effect in most configurations.
* tarsnap now correctly warns if a sparse extract fails due to hardlinks.
* tarsnap now prints a warning if creating an empty archive.
And as usual, lots of minor build fixes, harmless bug fixes, and code
refactoring / cleanups.
In addition to the updated code, we are now publishing a Debian source
package. (This is the first step towards publishing binary packages in
the future.) To use this, follow the "Debian - Users" instructions on
https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap/blob/master/pkg/DEBIAN.md
but change the url from
http://pkg.tarsnap.com/deb-src/
(which is where the bits will end up eventually) to
http://pkg.tarsnap.com/experimental/deb-src/
(which is where where the alphatest packages will reside).
Assuming I don't get any emails complaining that something is broken, I'll
be releasing this officially as version 1.0.37 in about a week. As always,
if you find any newly introduced bugs before the official release, you'll
be eligible for double the normal Tarsnap bug bounties.
