[jira] [Created] (COMPRESS-141) Support longer file names in AR
Support longer file names in AR
-------------------------------
Key: COMPRESS-141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-141
Project: Commons Compress
Issue Type: Improvement
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.

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.

[jira] [Commented] (COMPRESS-141) Support longer file names in AR

Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-141:
-----------------------------------------
Actually the code already reads GNU long names just fine, BSD is not supported at all, neither is writing the GNU format which is difficult to do in a streaming fashion.
I haven't managed to create a BSD formatted archive as the BSD ar command on minotaur creates a GNU format archive, strange.
