http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836558 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836558#c12 --- Comment #12 from Dirk Weber <d_werner@gmx.net> --- Created attachment 772390 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=772390&action=edit improved untar extfs with support for star Related to the upgrade to Leap 15.0 I reviewed the untar extfs and made some improvements. "star" support is now mainly working (list and copyout). I also added comments to document the status and possible problems. The default is GNU tar and star is tried as fallback if GNU tar is missing. As third but least polished option bsdtar is used. To use this extfs for a user instead of the mc builtin handling do the following: 1) create the directory ~/.local/share/mc/extfs.d if it does not exist. 2) copy the attached "untar" script to this directory (~/.local/share/mc/extfs.d/untar) and make it executable. 3) in the directory ~/.config/mc edit the file mc.ext (if the file does not exist yet copy /etc/mc/mc.ext to ~/.config/mc/mc.ext). In this file change all occurrences of "utar" (the built in mc tarfile handling) by "untar". From now on mc will use the untar script to enter tar archives. The changes can be undone any time if you experience problems with the script. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
