Updated: sharutils-4.3.80-1


I've just updated the version of sharutils to 4.3.80-1.

This is an official upstream release.  The Cygwin version has just a
tiny configure tweak.  sharutils pass all (three) tests in the testsuite.

NEWS relative to the previous 4.2.1 release:

Version 4.3.80 - April 2005, by Bruce Korb

* Buglet: Unlink the temporary file when unsharing from stdin.

Version 4.3.79 - April 2005, by Bruce Korb

* rewrote the temporary file handling in unshar to avoid both a theoretical
  timing hole (hitting it requires cooperation) and a buffer overrun
  attack (a file name exceeding 1K).
* new translations and updates.  They are all now missing two messages:
  "allocate file name buffer" and "allocate file buffer".  *sigh*.

Version 4.3.78 - January 2005, by Bruce Korb

* fixed test to not require updates for every release number
* fixed the uuencode man page so that docbook generation can work correctly.

Version 4.3.77 - September 2004, by Bruce Korb

* Fixed a buffer overrun exploit

Version 4.3.76 - December 2002, by Karl Eichwalder

* Updated translations: de et fr sv tr.

Version 4.3.75 - December 2002, by Karl Eichwalder

  where 'long' is 32 bits wide (by Paul Eggert).

  available.  Create a link 'compress' pointing to 'compress-dummy';
  thus it is possible to unshar legacy shar files calling
  'compress -d'.

* shar: Don't offer '-Z' resp. '--compress' if the system doesn't
  support 'compress'.
