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.
