Tardy Description

Spruce up tar files before posting them to the net, mostly to remove artefacts of the development environment Tardy is a free command-line app used to manipulate the file headers within tar(1) archive files. This is useful when preparing sources for Internet archive sites, and you don't want to included details of your development environment in the tar(1) file.Tardy will help you easily "spruce up" tar files before posting them to the net, mostly to remove artefacts of the development environment, without introducing more.One of the most useful features is the ability to add a prefix to the names of the files within the tar(1) file. An example is adding the prefix ".", for when you have a tar(1) file with absolute paths in it, and need to extract the file with relative paths.TArdy was designed to allow you to alter certain characteristics of files after they have been included in the tar file. Among them are:· change file owner (by number or name)· change file group (by number or name)· add directory prefix (e.g. dot)· change file protections (e.g. from 600 to 644) Note that all of these affect all files in the archive. What's New in This Release: · A build problem with GCC 4.3 has been fixed.
