Log Message:
tarsnap: update to 1.0.41.
### Tarsnap 1.0.41 (March 21, 2025)
- tarsnap now has mitigations to defend against information leakage via
chunking: Chunks are padded using the PADME scheme, and small-alphabet
cycles are prohibited in chunking to block a chosen-plaintext attack.
- tarsnap -c now accepts --dry-run-metadata, which simulates creating an
archive without reading any file data. This is significantly faster than a
regular --dry-run, and is suitable for checking which filesystem entries
will be archived (with -v) or checking the total archive size (with --totals
or --progress-bytes).
- tarsnap now accepts --noatime with -c mode, which requests that the
operating system does not update atime when reading files or directories.
Not supported by all operating systems or filesystems.
- If the server-side state was modified and tarsnap exits with an error, it
will now have an exit code of 2.
- tarsnap will read a config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tarsnap/tarsnap.conf;
or ~/.config/tarsnap/tarsnap.conf if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set. The
previous config file ~/.tarsnaprc is still supported, and will not be
deprecated.
- tarsnap now accepts --null-input as a synonym for --null. For compatibility
reasons, --null is still supported, and will not be deprecated.
- tarsnap now accepts --null-output, which causes --list-archives to separate
each archive name with a null character (like `find -print0`). If one or
more -v arguments are specified, multiple null characters are used to
separate fields; see the man page for details.
- tarsnap now accepts --null-output with -x and -t, which causes them to
separate each filename with a null character. If there are multiple fields
on a line, null characters are used instead of spaces; see the man page for
details.
- tarsnap now accepts --null-output with --print-stats, which causes it to
separate fields and lines with null character(s); see the man page for
details.
- tarsnap now accepts --hashes, which causes --list-archives to print hashes
of archive names. If one or more -v arguments are specified, it will print
other metadata (as per --list-archives). This option is intended for the
GUI and is not needed for command-line usage.
- tarsnap now accepts -f TAPEHASH with --list-archives --hashes, which prints
metadata about the specified archive(s). Multiple -f options may be
specified. This option is intended for the GUI and is not needed for
command-line usage.
- Fixed a problem with strict aliasing if somebody compiled with gcc11 or
higher using -O3, does not have SSE2, and is using a passphrase-protected
keyfile.
