Maybe cperciva can comment directly on this, but regarding #3, my reading of the statement on bspatch is that Colin is worried a compatibility breaking kludge now may prevent patching of the permanent fix when it is released, not just any ol' functionality.
- cperciva 10y agoI think there's two separate questions being conflated here. There's a bspatch patch circulating which makes changes which don't seem to be security-relevant; there's a libarchive patch circulating which removes widely-used functionality in tar.
