+ <body>
+ <p>Libarchive is a BSD-licensed archive and compression library
+ originally developed as part of &os;. It supports a wide
+ variety of input and output formats and also includes three
+ command-line tools: <tt>bsdcat</tt>, <tt>bsdcpio</tt> and
+ <tt>bsdtar</tt>. The &os; <tt>tar</tt> and <tt>cpio</tt>
+ utilities are taken directly from Libarchive, and many other
+ important utilities like <tt>ar</tt>, <tt>unzip</tt>, and the
+ <tt>pkg</tt> package manager make use of <tt>libarchive</tt>'s
+ functions.</p>
+
+ <p>Libarchive development in 2016 has been focusing on bug fixes
+ and code cleanup, including fixing several critical security
+ issues. Automated testing with Travis CI and Jenkins has been
+ introduced and <tt>libarchive</tt> has been added to the Google
+ OSS-Fuzz project. Fuzzing helped detect several hidden problems
+ like buffer overflows and memory leaks.</p>
+
+ <p>Over the last few months, NFSv4 ACL support for the pax and
+ restricted pax (the default for <tt>bsdtar</tt>) formats has
+ been completed and merged to &os;-CURRENT. NFSv4 ACL entries
+ can now be stored to and restored from tar archives.</p>
+ </body>
+
+ <help>
+ <task>More extensive CI testing with &os; on different platforms
+ and releases. Currently only 11.0-RELEASE-amd64 gets tested via
+ an automated Jenkins job.</task>
+
+ <task>As every commit to libarchive may influence the build
+ process of &os; ports, the ability to trigger a (semi-)automated
+ exp-run for the ports tree would be great.</task>
