Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-165: ----------------------------------------- The star/GNU/BSD version has been added with svn revision 1211892 > Support writing entries > 8GiB in tar > ------------------------------------- > > Key: COMPRESS-165 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-165 > Project: Commons Compress > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Archivers > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Reporter: Stefan Bodewig > > We already parse PAX headers and the star/GNU tar/BSD tar dialects used for > big > entries. > Similar to the way we handle long file names there should be a user option to > chose > between "error", "star" and "posix" or "pax". "star" is Jörg Schilling's tar > which was the > first one to use the binary size representation later adopted by GNU and BSD > tar as well. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
