tar (1.23-2ubuntu1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * src/create.c, src/common.h, src/tar.c: Revert patch introduced in 2004
    to fix a dpkg bug long since worked around. The patch caused Debian's
    tar to produce archives with longname headers for files with names
    longer than 99 characters, instead of 100 per POSIX. Also backport a
    hack to re-enable this broken behaviour when the TAR_LONGLINK_100
    environment variable is set. Without these changes, pristine-tar (at
    least) can produce broken tarballs when tarballs committed on systems
    with tar >= 1.23-4 are recreated on systems with tar < 1.23-4 and
    pristine-tar < 1.11. References: Debian bug #598345, #603231,
    #602907. LP: #696480.

tar (1.25-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * accept a "hack" from Joey Hess to work around an unfortunate side effect 
    of removing the patch to src/create.c regarding links of 100 chars in
    1.23-4 that broke pristine-tar in some cases.  The "fix" is to support 
    the old behavior if the environment variable TAR_LONGLINK_100 is set, 
    which pristine-tar knows about and will use when necessary but which 
    should never be used by anyone else!  closes: #603231
