Hi all,
We have not had a release in a long, long time. Lets fix that!
There is a substantial number of bugs tagged for a 5.1 release [1]. These were added when we were all younger and more optimistic about the world... I have added a 5.2 target, so we can start bumping some to a future release.
Please reply here with anything you think is essential to the next release - even better if you provide a patch!
Cheers, Allan
Can we fix extraction based on lookups of user/group so that the nonsense that Arch has been subjected to via systemd-sysusers can be fixed? This should be a simple matter of calling archive_read_disk_set_standard_lookup(archive) prior to extraction. I think agregory has a branch that he's been working on to do this.
I do have a branch to use user/group names, but the change is not simple. It breaks alternate rootdir usage hard. I haven't noticed the systemd-sysusers nonsense myself and only caught bits of IRC discussions, can you elaborate on exactly what the problem is? apg
