---------------------------------------

             Summary: fill some gaps in tar implementation
                 Key: COMPRESS-338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-338
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.10
            Reporter: Stefan Bodewig


The test archive linked to in COMPRESS-336 shows our tar code isn't completely on par with the python lib that uses it for its tests:

* we don't seem to identify all kinds of links (./ustar/linktest2/symtype -> ../linktest1/regtype is identified as two entries, as is ./ustar/linktest2/lnktype link to ./ustar/linktest1/regtype)
* we only seem to parse gnu/sparse-0.0 properly, not 0.1 or 1.0
* {{Lister}} shows parts of the Pax-Headers as extra entries for the pax/ headers
* I'm not sure about the non-ASCII characters in a bunch of file names

It is probably best to pick the issues independently as subtasks of this.
