# 248612 22-Mar-2013 mm

Replace deprecated (or remove obsolete) libarchive 2.8 functions
with libarchive 3.0 counterparts


# 208189 17-May-2010 kaiw

Removed ar(1)'s support for compressed archives. This change removes
ar(1)'s dependencies on compressor libraries -lz, -lbz2 and -llzma and
fixes building HEAD on some versions of FreeBSD[78]. Option -j and -z
is now accepted but ignored.

Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read
them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random
access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.
