Log message:
star: Update to 1.6.1nb6

Added SPECIAL_PERMS for config file (no more "wrong permissions"
warning if installed as nonprivileged user.

Changes from AN-2020-03-11:
-	configure: The autoconfiguration now has an enhanced test for waitid()
	that was needed since Mac OS is still not POSIX compliant and returns 0
	instead of the signal number for a process that has been killed by a
	signal. MacOS did pass the POSIX certification as a result of a missing
	test for that problem.

	Since every vertified OS needs to run an annual refresh the
	certification with recent versions of the test, I guess that
	Mac OS (Catalina updates) may become more compliant witin a year.

-	psmake: The portable bootstrap compile environment for smake missed
	a symlink for unsetenv.c to libschily since the related code has been
	moved to libschily in 2018. This prevented compilation on IRIX.

	Thanks to Kazuo Kuroi for reporting

-	librmt: the code has been modified to allow librmt to be finally
	compiled without a need to link against libschily. This makes it
	easier to link ufsdump/ufsrestore from OpenSolaris against librmt.

	A call to errmsg() was replaced by a call to errmsgno() that has
	a private implementation in librmt already.

-	librmt: the man pages have been modified to make sure that man2html
	is able to correctly create links to referenced other man pages.

-	libstreamar: streamarchive.4 now mentions that the POSIX.1-2001
	tar extensions are based on a Sun Microsystems proposal from 1997.

-	star: the man page now mentions that it is preferred to use the
	source from the schilytools instead of a star specific release.

Changes from AN-2020-03-27:

Changes from AN-2020-04-18:
-	librmt: A few small enhancements have been added to the man pages.
	This was a result of a code review for SchilliX-ON by
	Eric Ackermann

-	star: The unit tests port/lpath.sh did not work on IRIX because
	the "rm" command on IRIX is buggy and does not remove long path
	names (path names longer than PATH_MAX). We now use a recursive
	shell function to remove the long path.

-	star: The new shell function in port/lpath.sh did crash Linux in
	case that /bin/sh is "dash". "dash" is not POSIX compliant and
	fails to support arbitrary long working directory names. Whe therefore
	try to run the long path removal with "bosh", or at least \ 
"bash".
	Only if none of both is present, we fall back to the system default
	shell "/bin/sh".

Changes from AN-2020-05-11:
-	Makefile system: A new version of the BSD make (bmake) program fixed
	a bug in pattern macro substitution, so we are now able to detect
	BSD make and to read BSD make program specific rules.

	This could in theory allow us to support BSD make in the future,
	but...

	Note that we on the other side discovered a new bug with pattern
	macro substitution in bsd make: The substitution:

		$(FOO:%=bar/%)

	is replaced by "bar/" with an empty "FOO", but of course, \ 
with an
	empty FOO, the substitution should be empty as well.

	This second bug (above) was fixed on May 6th, but we do not yet have
	all needed make rules and we do not know whether other bugs may still
	prevent the usability of BSD make. Supporting BSD make will be hard
	as BSD make does not support pattern matching default rules and this
	is important for placing the .o files into a sub-directory.

	Also note that the portable program source for "bmake" from \ 
"pkgsrc"
	is 2 years old and thus currently cannot be supported at all. If
	you like to experiment on your own, you need to get this version:

		http://crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.html

	see

		http://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bmake.tar.gz

	and replace the newer files from the netbsd.org CVS tree by hand in
	order to fix the first and second mentioned pattern macro substitution
	bug.

-	Makefile system: RULES/MKLINKS was enhanced to create a new symlink
	RULES/r-bsdmake.tag that points to RULES/r-make.tag

-	Makefile system: The archive makefiles.tar.bz2 has been added to the
	schilytools tree to allow easy reuse of the makefile system for own
	projects.

Log message:
archivers/star: Update to 1.6.1nb4

Based on Schily Tools Release 2019-12-05.

AN-2019-11-11:
-   libschily: the new functions wcastoi wcastol wcastolb that have been
    added with the previous release have been forgotten in the linker map
    file.

-   star: When using star -copy, the default is now -no-secure-links.
    This is what users like since they are copying their own data that
    per definition cannot be untrusted external data.

-   star: star -diff is now "more smooth" to use, when the archive type
    is GNU TAR and the "atime" or "ctime" properties are not \ 
present
    for a specific file. Before, Jan 1 1970 was the assumed time in
    the archive.

-   star: star -diff now prints a diff statistics summary.

-   star: New version date

AN-2019-12-05:
-   include/schily/stdio.h: We no longer define getc_unlocked() on Solaris
    in case that it is defined already. This was needed since Oracle
    Solaris 11.4 compiles 64 bit by default and made stdio less opaque
    than before - this result in the same bahavior as for 32 bit programs.
    This means, we no longer need to use tricks to get fast access to
    stdio.

    Thanks to Rolf Dietze for reporting.

-   libschily: the function getargs() and similar (from the option parser
    group) fixed a bug that prevented the usability of the official method
    to include the char '+' inside option names by quoting the character
    in the option name used in the format string.

    This bug has been fixed in order to be able to support "star -dump+ \ 
..."

-   libshedit: because of the changes in Oracle Solaris 11.4, we need to
    #undef FAST_GETC_PUTC in order to avoid to use getc_unlocked().

    Thanks to Rolf Dietze for reporting.

-   libfind: A new function walksname() has been added to set up the
    internals in "struct WALK" for external path names. This feature is
    needed to support "star -c list=names -find ...".

-   libfind: The functions fetchdir()/dfetchdir(), sortdir(), cmpdir() now
    use size_t instead of int for the entry number count and the allocated
    size.

    This breaks binary compatibility in 64 bit mode for those users only,
    that use the interfaces fetchdir()/dfetchdir(), sortdir(), cmpdir().

    The only application that currently uses these interfaces is "star".
    Simple users of libfind and programs compiled as 32 bit programs
    are not affected by the change.

    Warning: packetizers need to take care of the changed name of the
    shared library file for libfind.

-   libfind: Because of the binary incompatible change, we incremented
    the major library version number from 3 to 4.

    WARNING: This affects only distros that ship 64 bit versions of star
    using a shared version of libfind.

    Since Solaris defaults to 32 bit programs, this is expected to only
    affect Linux distros.

-   libstreamar: unicode.c has been changed to make sure that is works even
    in case that the "len" parameter is an unsigned.

-   libstreamar: to_utf8() from unicode.c has been rewritten to use size_t.
    instead of int. Several changes have been introduced in the other
    code as well.

-   libstreamar: from_utf8() from unicode.c has been rewritten to use size_t.
    instead of int. Several changes have been introduced in the other
    code as well.
-   star: The new-volume-script= script is now called at the end of
    _every tape_, even at the last one. This now allows to have a script
    that automatically renames a standard archive name into numbered
    archive names when a tree should be splitted into chunks, e.g. with
    this command line:

        star -c f=/tmp/v.tar tsize=1G new-volume-script='sh -c \
            "mv /tmp/v.tar /tmp/v$(($1-1)).tar" nv' .

    you get partial archives named /tmp/v1.tar ... /tmp/vn.tar

    Note that this would not work in case that "sh" is the historical
    Bourne Shell, e.g. as seen on Solaris 10. This is because
    "shell arithmetics" is a feature that was not present in the historical
    Bourne Shell.

-   star: The man page now mentions that "star cli=tar ..." works as an
    alias to "star cli=suntar ...".

-   star: The man page now mentions that "star cli=gnutar ..." does not
    impement the bugs from the GNU option parser.

-   star: Is "star cli=xxx ..." is used, then star now calls
    set_progname(xxx) and thus prints error messages labelled with the
    command line interface name.

-   star: In "pax" command line mode, star now uses -no-fsync as default
    in order to behave the same way as the closed source Solaris pax
    does.

-   star: Star now allows to combine the option list=names with -find
    This is useful, whenever a list of filenames is longer than ARG_MAX and
    thus cannot be used in the star command line after -find.

    Here is an example on how to use the new feature in a mercurial.
    based development environment:

        (hg status -a; hg status -m; hg status -c) | sed -e 's/^. //' > .hgfiles
        star -c list=.hgfiles -find -mtime -100 > /tmp/new.tar

    The first command puts all files under control of mercurial into
    thw file ".hgfiles" , while omitting the compile results from the
    file ".hgfiles".

    The second command takes that list and puts only those files into
    the archive that have been modified during the past 100 days.

-   star: A new option "-dump+" allows to have the \ 
"SCHILY.volhdr.hostname"
    meta data field filled out even when not making dumps with an
    associated dump level. This helps to remember the origin of tar
    archives.

-   star: unicode.c has been changed to use the same comment as unicode.c
    in libstreamar.

-   star: unicode.c has been changed to make sure that is works even.
    in case that the "len" parameter is an unsigned.

-   star: to_utf8() from unicode.c has been rewritten to use size_t.
    instead of int. Several changes have been introduced in the other
    code as well.

-   star: from_utf8() from unicode.c has been rewritten to use size_t.
    instead of int. Several changes have been introduced in the other
    code as well.

-   star: due to the incompatible interface change in libfind (see
    above), several changes have been introduced in order to use size_t
    instead of int for fetchdir()/dfetchdir(), sortdir(), cmpdir().

    This finally permits star to be able to make use of the current POSIX
    maximum meta data size for so called "pax" archives (TAR archives
    with POSIX.1-2001 meta data enhancements derived from the Solaris 7
    concept for tar from 1997). Previous versions of star have been
    limited to data no longer than 2 GB (even though the star main code
    supports 8 GB file size), this version now supports 8 GB for the.
    sum of all meta data for a single file in case a 64 bit binary from
    star is used.

-   star: the fifo now has a new variant of te function runfifo() that
    is used by the new fifo(1) standalone program. See below.

-   star: The README now mentions the new "star cli= ..." method and
    the fact that star deals with infinite path name length.

Log message:
archivers/star: Update to 1.6.1nb3

Based on schilytools release from 2019-10-25.

Changelog
=========
- libstreamer: Added new keywords "fsdevmajor" and \ 
"fsdevminor" as
  there are too many incompatible st_dev binary formats.

  These keywords are not yet created, but they are understood.
  This permits to switch to the new format (fade out "dev") later.

- star: Added new keywords "SCHILY.fsdevmajor" and \ 
"SCHILY.fsdevminor"
  as there are too many incompatible st_dev binary formats.

  These keywords are not yet created, but they are understood.
  This permits to switch to the new format (fade out "SCHILY.dev") later.

- star: The amount of shared mamory used by default has been reduced to
  1 MB on Ultrix. These are old small machines, that do not support 8 MB.

Log message:
archivers/star: Update to 1.6.1nb2

Based on Release 2019-10-07.

Changelog
=========
- configure: Some shells report a syntax error with "< file (cmd)"
  and need the redirection statement to be *after* the command. Our
  changes to support the V7 shell by adding round braces caused ash
  variants like "dash" to fail.

  Thanks to Harald van Dijk for reporting

- cont/cc-config.sh: canged some :>some-file statements into
  (:)>some-file. they have meen missed when introducing work arounds
  for the V7 Shell on Ultrix that does not support I/O redirection
  for builtin commands.

  Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting

- libschily/resolvepath.c: resolving a symlink that points to another
  symlink that points to itself, caused a coredump as a result from an
  endless recursion.

  We now detect this situation and abort the check before the endless
  recursion causes a stack overflow. A symlink that directly loops
  is immediately stopped. A longer symlink loop chain over more than one
  symlink can only be detected by the recursion nesting level and is
  aborted after a nesting level of 1024 has been reached. This works
  under the assumption that the minimum stack size is more than
  1024 * PATH_MAX and that there is no useful directory path with more
  than 1024 symlinks in the path.

  ----> This problem affected star and SCCS.

  Thanks to Philipp Wellner for reporting

- star: Added a hint to the man page that helps to find pkglist= as a.
  similar option to list=

- star: The new method to avoid extracting symlinks that point outside
  the star working directory that has been introduced in October 2018
  could cause a core dump if a symlink is checked that points to
  another aready existing symlink that points to itself. This was caused
  by a problem in libschily/resolvepath.c, see above.

  Thanks to Philipp Wellner for reporting

- star: The option -no-secure-links now may be configured as a global
  default via the tag STAR_SECURE_LINKS= in the file /etc/default/star
  and as a private default via an environment of the same name.

  If the value for this tag is 'n' or 'N', -no-secure-links is made the
  default, any other value sets the option -secure-links as the default.

  This may be useful for sysadmins that frequently use star to copy
  installation specific files, but it is risky in case that alien TAR
  archives are imported. The good news is that this permits users to
  switch to the old star behavior where no checks for risky links
  existed.

  Thanks to Dennis Clarke for reporting

-  star: A new enviroment STAR_NOHINT has been introduced to supress
  hint messages that are otherwise seen in case STAR_SECURE_LINKS or
  STAR_FSYNC is in the environment or in /etc/default/star

- star: New version date
   2019-10-04 16:27:51 by Michael Baeuerle | Files touched by this commit (5) | Package updated
Log message:
star: Update to 1.6.1nb1

Switch to latest distfile.
Update PLIST.
Replaced MESSAGE with share/doc/star/INSTALL.pkgsrc.

Changelog
=========

Release 2019-03-29:
- libschily: the lutimens() emulation no longer returns ENOSYS in case
  that the lstat() call fails, since this error code may e.g. be
  ENAMETOOLONG and used as an important indicator for long path name
  handling.

  This bug caused incorrect behavior when star extracted long pathnames
  on a platform without utimensat().

- star: The code restructuring to openat() from Summer 2018 did not
  only cause a noticeable speed up even when not using -find, it at
  the same time resulted in a wrong error message when a file type
  was seen that is not archivable (e.g. a socket while using the USTAR
  format). The correct message was something like "Unsupported filetype",
  while the bug caused a "file not found " message. This has been fixed
  by adding a new parameter "fd" to the function stat_to_info().

- star: header.c::get_xhtype() we did forgot to initialize:

     finfo.f_devminorbits

  and

     finfo.f_xflags

  This is now done.

- star: The USTAR format now is able to create base-256 values in
  the field "t_devmajor". "t_devminor" did already support \ 
base-256.

- star: The GNU tar format now is able to create base-256 values in
  the fields "t_devmajor" and "t_devminor".

- star: The man page star.4 now mentions which fileds may have
  base-256 numbers.

- star: The man page star.4 now longer contains the doubled "field field"
  in the explanation of the added UID/GID number for ACLs.

- star: The man page star.4 now has a better description for the additional
  numeric fields in the ACL entries to prevent GNU tar from continuing
  with it's incompatible ACL implementation.

- star: New ACL reference archives for the ultra compact format, that has
  been defined together with the libachive people, have been added to the
  directory testscripts/:

  acl-nfsv4-compact-test.tar.gz
  acl-nfsv4-compact-test2.tar.gz
  acl-nfsv4-compact-test3.tar.gz
  acl-nfsv4-compact-test4.tar.gz
  acl-nfsv4-compact-test5.tar.gz

- star: Linux now uses the new <linux/fs.h> instead of <ext2/ext2_fs.h>
  to retrieve file flags.

  Thanks to a hint from Martin Matuska <martin@matuska.org> from the
  libarchive team.

- star: Support for the following new BSD Flags:

     compressed hidden offline rdonly reparse sparse system

  has been added.

  Thanks to a hint from Martin Matuska <martin@matuska.org> from the
  libarchive team.

- star: Support for the following new Linux flags:

     dirsync nocow notail projinherit topdir

  has been added.

  Thanks to a hint from Martin Matuska <martin@matuska.org> from the
  libarchive team.

- star: Support for reading non-comliant libarchive tarballs that use.

     "securedeletion" or "journal"

  instead of the documented text has been added. This was used by
  libarchive until March 20, when libarchive has been fixed. We introduce
  the above names for compatibility with old TARs created by libarchive.

- star: When an "old star" archive is read and this archive is from a \ 
system
  like FreeBSD with non-continous minor bits, star no longer warns unless
  there is a device file in the archive.

- star: unit tests: the scripts now contain

     LC_ALL=C export LC_ALL

  instead of just LC_ALL=C to make the environment exported.

- star/libstrar: The case where iconv() returns -1 and sets errno to E2BIG
  is now handled correctly.

- star: The testscripts/ directory now contains the tar test archives
  from the portability tests from Michal Gorny. Check

     http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/portability-of-tar-features.html

  for an updated (to match star-1.6) variant of the results from the portability
  tests from Michal Gorny.

- star: older versions of star did not print the messages:

     "WARNING: Archive is 'xxx' compressed, trying to use the -xxx \ 
option.\n"

  in case that the option -print-artype was in use. Later versions that
  added support for more than "gzip" and "bzip2" forgot to \ 
add the same
  exception for the new compression methods. We now ommit this message
  for all compression types.

- star: Support for the "lzma" compression has been added.

- star: Support for the "freeze2" compression has been added.

- star: The compression method name list did not include the text "zstd".
  We added the missing text.

- star: The hint messages that are printed when a compressed input archive
  is not seekable did forgot to mention "lzip" and "zstd". \ 
We added the
  forgotten messages.

- star: New unit tests check whether star is able to auto-detect and auto
  decompress various compression formats.

- star: The unit tests now include the portability tests from Michal Gorny

- A new option cli=name (must be argv[1]) allows to select all
  supported command line interfaces (star, suntar, gnutar,
  pax, cpio) when called as star.

  This is needed to be able to test all command line interfaces from
  out unit tests since star is not installed in this case and a selection
  from argv[0] would not work.

- star: The version date is now "2019/03/20"

Release 2019-04-29:
- libfind/star: the verbose listing code has ben restructured to have
  the file permissions in the same string as the file type.
  This is needed to implement the POSIX pax listformat interpreter
  format %M in future.

- libfind/star: the verbose listing no longer prints "l" for mandatory
  record locking for non-directory type file, but rather only
  for plain files.

- star: The "gnutar" emulation now prints the --help output to stdout as
  GNU tar does.

- star: The gnutar.1 man page now mentions that the GNU tar
  options -g / -G did never work and it thus makes no sense to
  implement them.

- star: very outdated code in list.c has been removed.

- star: Added new unit tests for incremental backups and restores.
  This in special include tests that always fail with GNU tar
  as GNU tar is not usable and never was usable for incremental
  restores in case that the differences are more than trivial.

- star: new version date 2019-04-01

Release 2019-06-13:
- star: fixed a bug in the FIFO code that mainly happened on Linux (with
  a 1000x higher probability than it happens on Solaris). The bug was.
  caused, as a check for a flag has been done twice instead of only once
  where it could change it's value between both locations. As a.
  result, star reported "star: Implementation botch: with FIFO_MEOF"
  as the tar side of the FIFO did sometimes not wait for the FIFO_IWAIT
  state when called as "star -multivolume -tv f=... f=... ...
  For this reason, star incorrectly got a wakeup at the wrong location.

  The bug appeared in case that star -x/-t -multivol f=.. f=.. ....
  has been called with very small tar archives.

  Thanks to Heiko Eissfeldt for reporting.

- star: The FIFO code renamed the "flag" member of the \ 
"m_head" structure
  to "gflag" for better readability.

- star: The debugging code in the FIFO has been enhanced to print the
  names of the flag bits in addition to the hex values.

- star: A deadlock situation that happens once every 500000 tries on
  Linux with multi-volume archives has been fixed.

  The problem was caused by a complex condition where the get side
  of the FIFO needs to check the EOF FIFO flag and the amount of data
  available in the FIFO and then decide whether to wait for a wakeup or
  not.

  Since the EOF flag needs to be checked first, a context switch in
  the get side of the FIFO could allow the put side to set the EOF flag
  before the get side did check the fill ratio of the FIFO. This
  caused both the get side and the put side to wait for a wakeup.

  The new code introduced a new variable mp->mayoblock that is set by
  the get side before checking for EOF. This new flags allows the
  put side to know that the get side is just in a critical situation
  and lets the put side wait until mp->mayoblock is no longer set,
  which signals a stable state in the get side. This permits to
  avoid the deadlock.

- star: Note that the FIFO has been initially written as a lock free
  design in the late 1980's. This is to allow high portability to even
  older UNIX versions. The star FIFO works on all UNIX variants that
  support pipes and shared memory, which is e.g. the case for
  SunOS-4.0 from 1988. At the time the FIFO has been designed, the
  target OS did not support multi-CPU systems and problems in the
  FIFO first appeared with massively faster multi-CPU systems around
  y2000. The recently detected problems all have been triggered by a
  different context switch behavior on Linux, even though they could
  have appeared on any OS in case that many million tries are
  attempted.

- star: bumped version to 1.6.1

Release 2019-07-15:
- star: the compress unit test no longer fails on Cygwin because the
  gzip binary is compiled incorrectly and does not support LZW.
  The related test is now skipped.

  Thanks to Heiko Eissfeldt for reporting

- star: some new unit tests failed if the schilytools source tree has
  been installed in a directory with spaces in it's name.

- star: The unit tests for incremental backups include archives that
  include userid/groupid and username/groupname that may not be
  restorable on a different computer. We now ignore these ID meta.
  data when comparing the results.

  Thanks to Heiko Eissfeldt for reporting

- star: When comparing nanoseconds in time stamps, star now has a mode
  that treats time stamps as equal in case that tv_nsec % 100 == 0
  and the rest of the nano seconds is equal. This is needd on Cygwin
  since NTFS counts in 1/10 microseconds since Januar 1 1601.

  This applies to both star -diff and the "newer" check while extracting
  files.

  Thanks to Heiko Eissfeldt for reporting

- star: a new option diffopts=dnlink has been implemented to support
  filesystems that do not follow the historic UNIX model for hard links
  on directories.

  Since Cygwin usually has a linkcount of 1 on directories, you need
  to use "star -diff diffopts=!dnlink ..." if you like to diff the
  meta data from a historical UNIX filesystem.

  Thanks to Heiko Eissfeldt for reporting

- star: The incremental backup/restore tests now use.
  "star -diff diffopts=!dnlink ..." to make them work on Cygwin.

- star: star -c -H exustar -acl -xattr-linux .
  did cause file not found messages from the attempt to archive the
  Linux xattrs. This was caused by a change from July 2018 when trying to
  optimize directory access in (non-find) create mode. The call to read
  the Linux xattrs has now been moved to the location where in former
  times the ACL code has already been moved.

  The move is needed because there is no ACL/XATTR related function
  that is similar to openat().

- star: A similar problem with get_xattr() did exist with star -diff

- star: star -diff did not compare ACLs since getinfo() no longer
  includes a call to get_acl(). We now call get_xattr() and get_acl()
  in diff.c

- star: The Solaris ACL interface now implelements lacl() / lacl_get() /
  lacl_set() to support very long pathnames with ACLs.

- star: The Linux ACL interface now implelements lacl_get_file() /
  lacl_set_file() to support very long pathnames with ACLs on platforms
  that implement the withdrawn POSIX ACL draft.

- star: The Linux xattr interface now implelements.
  llgetxattr() / llsetxattr() / lllistxattr() to support very long
  pathnames with Linux xattrs.

- star: New version date

Release 2019-07-22:
- star: "pax -pe" no longer sets the variable "doxattr" as \ 
this caused
  an error message:

     "NFSv4 extended attribute files are not yet supported.\n"

  that caused the OpenSolaris-ON "nightly" compilation to abort as a
  result of that error and exit code != 0.

Release 2019-08-13:
- libschily: Various functions and *at() emulation functions call stat()
  even though the caller does not know about that call.

  This could cause a missbehavior in case that a file returns EOVERFLOW
  with a normal stat(). We now compile these functions in unconditional
  large file mode to overcome that problem.

  The affected files are:

  diropen.c lutimens.c findinpath.c linkat.c mkdirs.c searchinpath.c
  resolvepath.c  lchmod.c renameat.c.

  Note that this problem affected star(1) on platforms that do not
  fully implement all *at() interfaces, since star started to support
  really long path names in July 2018.

- star: Star did not compile on platforms without ACLs anymore since
  we did rearrange the code with schilytools 2019-07-15.

  We now have the needed #undef USE_ACL in diff.c as well.

  Thanks to Dennis Clarke for reporting.

- star: Avoid a warning when a star -dump archive is unpacked on FreeBSD
  or Linux with non-contiguous minor bits. The warning is not needed
  since we only use SCHILY.dev in order to detect mount points but
  not to compute the major/minor parts.

Release 2019-08-13:
- star: star -xdev -find typically works to exclude mounted files.
  It still does not always do what is expected, e.g. in case that /proc
  is in the tree of scanned files, where files deep in the new mounted
  tree suddenly have the same FS ID as other filesystems, e.g. the file
  /proc/<pid>/path/a.out.

  In such cases, "star -find -xdev" is still recommended where the
  mounted file exclusion is done inside libfind instead of being
  done inside star.

  Before, files on other filesystems have not been honored at all when
  using "star -xdev -find ...".
