Log message:
Updated star to 1.4.2.

Major changes since 1.4.1:

- printf() now correctly handles %X vs. %x on 64 bit machines
  Removed a 20 year old local extension that became non-portable.
- new 'librmt', which may be used by any external program like e.g.
  dump/restore to improve cross platform compatibility.
- librmt now allows the use of ssh(1) for remote tape access.
- smt benefits from librmt and now gives platform independent
  'mt status' output in remote mode.
- New option -wready for smt.
- Better man page for 'rmt'.
- Handle a seek error problem in create mode correctly when checking
  for reading past max possible file size on non-large file OS.
- Correctly propagate write/read errors from FIFO to star.
- Add support for SIGINFO (*BSD) as a courtesy to BSD users.
- Do not open /dev/tty if a newvolume script is present.
  This allows the use of star from cron scripts.
- Fixed a bug in the ACL handling code on Linux that caused star to
  recognize ACL comments as ACL entries and include them in the archive.
- Work around to allow star to read ACL enhanced archives that
  include bogus entries that really were ACL comments created by
  the bug above.

Log message:
Make this package build on arm. The same principle should apply to
other CPU families, but I haven't tested those.

Log message:
Initial import of Star 1.4.1. DESCR is written by the author, Joerg Schilling
<schilling@fokus.gmd.de>.

Star is a full-featured tar command that can access local and remote
tar archives (files and tapes). It reads and writes POSIX compliant
tar archives as well as non-POSIX GNU tar archives.
Star is the first POSIX.1-2001 compliant tar implementation. It includes
a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability to
archive sparse files and ACLs and the ability to archive extended file flags.
It supports utomatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archivecompression/decompression. It includes the
only known platform independent "rmt" server program that implements all
Sun/GNU/Schily/BSD enhancements and allows any "rmt" client from any OS to
contact any OS as server.
