Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.0.41, Package name: tarsnap-1.0.41, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Tarsnap is a secure online backup service for BSD, Linux, OS X,
Solaris, Cygwin, and can probably be compiled on many other UNIX-like
operating systems. The Tarsnap client code provides a flexible and
powerful command-line interface which can be used directly or via
shell scripts.

### 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.

Log message:
tarsnap: update to 1.0.40.

Tarsnap 1.0.40 is now available.  This version brings several improvements
compared to tarsnap 1.0.39:

* tarsnap now accepts a --resume-extract option to skip extracting files whose
  filesize and mtime match existing files on disk.

* tarsnap now accepts --progress-bytes SIZE, which prints a progress message
  after each SIZE bytes are processed, up to once per file.  This can be
  disabled with --no-progress-bytes.

* tarsnap now accepts a --passphrase method:arg option which accepts:
  * --passphrase dev:tty-stdin
  * --passphrase dev:stdin-once
  * --passphrase dev:tty-once
  * --passphrase env:VARNAME
  * --passphrase file:FILENAME

* tarsnap now accepts a --dump-config option to print the command-line and all
    non-blank lines read from config files.

* tarsnap now exits with an error if there are unused command-line arguments.
  (i.e. "tarsnap -d -f a1 a2", where "a2" is unused.)

* Improved performance on some x86, amd64, and arm64 systems by using
  cryptographic instruction set extensions.

* When sent SIGINFO or SIGUSR1, tarsnap now prints the number of files and the
  number of uncompressed bytes processed, in addition to the previous output.

* A zsh completion file can be installed with
  configure --with-zsh-completion=DIR.

As usual, there are also lots of minor build fixes, harmless bug fixes, and
code cleanups.
