libarchive 3.4.3-2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

libarchive (3.4.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add some more upstream patches:
    - upstream-isint-w
    - upstream-unneeded-strlen
    - upstream-hardlink-to-self
    - upstream-set-format-error (with a typo corrected)
    - upstream-rar-read-format
    - upstream-memory-stdlib
    - upstream-max-comp-level
  * Drop the unused liblzo2 build dependency. According to upstream,
    distributing libarchive binaries linked against liblzo2 violates
    the liblzo2 GPL license, so libarchive does not even use it unless
    explicitly requested, which we do not do anyway.
  * Fix two problems related to cross-building libarchive.
    Closes: #966637
    - drop the gcc B-D that I added as a reminder that dropping --as-needed
      was because it is handled automatically
    - annotate the test dependencies with <!nocheck>; since we never run
      the upstream test suite automatically, but only if the non-standard
      "check" build option is specified, this has no effect on normal builds,
      but it will fix cross-builds

libarchive-tools: FreeBSD implementations of 'tar' and 'cpio' and other archive tools

 This package contains several command-line tools based on the libarchive
 library.
 .
 The bsdtar program is the default system 'tar' program used on FreeBSD. bsdtar
 uses the libarchive library as a backend which does all of the work for reading
 and writing archives in various formats.
 .
 The bsdcpio program is the default system 'cpio' program used on FreeBSD.
 bsdcpio uses the libarchive library as a backend which does all of the work for
 reading and writing archives in various formats.
 .
 The bsdcat program reads archived data from files or from its standard input
 and uses the libarchive library to decompresses it to its standard output.
 It may be used for viewing the contents of archives or for passing it to other
 tools for further processing.

libarchive13: Multi-format archive and compression library (shared library)

 The libarchive library provides a flexible interface for reading and writing
 archives in various formats such as tar and cpio. libarchive also supports
 reading and writing archives compressed using various compression filters such
 as gzip and bzip2. The library is inherently stream-oriented; readers serially
 iterate through the archive, writers serially add things to the archive.
 .
 Archive formats supported are:
 .
    * tar (read and write, including GNU extensions)
    * pax (read and write, including GNU and star extensions)
    * cpio (read and write, including odc and newc variants)
    * iso9660 (read and write, including Joliet and Rockridge extensions, with
      some limitations)
    * zip (read only, with some limitations, uses zlib)
    * mtree (read and write)
    * shar (write only)
    * ar (read and write, including BSD and GNU/SysV variants)
    * empty (read only; in particular, note that no other format will accept an
      empty file)
    * raw (read only)
    * xar (read only)
    * rar (read only, with some limitations)
    * 7zip (read and write, with some limitations)
 .
 Filters supported are:
 .
    * gzip (read and write, uses zlib)
    * bzip2 (read and write, uses bzlib)
    * compress (read and write, uses an internal implementation)
    * uudecode (read only)
    * separate command-line compressors with fixed-signature auto-detection
    * xz and lzma (read and write using liblzma)
    * zstandard (read and write using libzstd)
 .
 This package provides the libarchive shared library.
