archive 1.1.14
CRAN release: 2026-07-30
archive_write()and friends can now write the"pax"(POSIX pax interchange),"ustar", and"gnutar"tar formats via theformatargument. Note that the existing"tar"format already writes the pax-restricted variant (#4).Errors raised while opening or reading an archive connection (e.g. reading a file that does not exist) are now reported as regular R errors instead of crashing the R session.
Filters that libarchive handles via an external helper program (e.g.
lzop) no longer error out; they now emit a message and continue.
