ssuominen@gentoo.org Samuli Suominen bsd@gentoo.org BSD Project The bsdtar program creates and manipulates streaming archive files. It has a number of advantages over previous tar implementations. Allow accessing bzip2-compressed archives through libbz2 (which comes with app-arch/bzip2). This only affects libarchive's native support: bsdtar will keep using bunzip2 as a filter if that's not built-in. Use file flags from sys-fs/e2fsprogs headers instead of virtual/os-headers headers Enable support for LZ4 compression using app-arch/lz4 Use dev-libs/nettle as crypto backend Allow accessing gzip-compressed archives through sys-libs/zlib. This only affects libarchive's native support: bsdtar will keep using gunzip as a filter if that's not built-in. It's also needed for supporting extraction of ZIP files.
