[jira] [Updated] (COMPRESS-141) Support writing the GNU variant of longer file names in AR

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Stefan Bodewig updated COMPRESS-141:
------------------------------------

    Component/s: Archivers
        Summary: Support writing the GNU variant of longer file names in AR  (was: Support longer file names in AR)

Changing the title to reflect the fact that we can already read the GNU variant and BSD has been split into a separate issue.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-141
>             Project: Commons Compress
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Archivers
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
>            Priority: Minor

> Traditionally file names in AR are restricted to 16 bytes and the current code fully supports this.  Two different dialects exist to overcome this (BSD and SVR4/GNU) and our code should probably support both of them when reading and a configurable version when writing.
