Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.8.5, Package name: dar-2.8.5, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

DAR is a Disk ARchiver, for backing-up file systems to disk. It's rather
in the spirit of TAR, with some additions. Notably:

DAR can break up a archive into multiple files, to facilitate
storage on portable media, like CDs or DVDs.

Can perform incremental back-ups against a reference archive, or,
more conveniently, a "catalog" of an archive, which is sort of a
combination of a TAR table-of-contents and a file checksum list.

DAR also supports filtering, so files or directories can be excluded from
an archive, compression, filtered compression, and the inclusion of parity
in archives, to help recover from media errors.

Log message:
dar: updated to 2.8.5

from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5
- fixing bug of one-hour-shift in non-daylight saving months for
  time-zones that have one.
  dar_manager and dar can be given a date (-w option for dar_manager,
  -af option for dar) which is expected to be provided in local time.
  But libdar wrongly assumed it to always be given as summer time (or
  daylight saving time) even when the given date took place in a
  non-daylight saving period (winter time), which led most of the
  time to a shift of one hour in the past in the selected files.
  Dar_manager using the -w option was restoring files older than the
  provided date but forgot the ones having a modification date less
  than one hour before the provided date/time when this date/time
  was not in non-daylight saving period (winter time). Those were
  restored in a earlier state or not restored at all if they did not
  exist before that one hour shifted date.
  With dar using -af option, this led dar to save files after the
  given date as expected but also saving the files older than the
  provided date for less an one hour, when this date was in non-daylight
  saving period (winter time). Other files being saved as expected
  as "un-modified" (only metadata saved).
- fixed one field lack of initialization in archive_options_isolate
  classes (copy and move constructors).
- fixing bug that could occur while more bytes are read than available
