#60230: bsdtar --hfsCompression fails for non-root users
--------------------------+----------------------------
Reporter: AgilentGCMS | Owner: eborisch

Port: libarchive |

Comment (by eborisch):
I don't have 10.15 running, but from
[https://opensource.apple.com/source/libarchive/libarchive-72.40.2/libarchive.plist.auto.html
here] it appears it has libarchive 3.3.2, which ''has'' --hfsCompression,
but does not have [https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1023 my
fix] for supporting non-root extraction in it (which went into 3.4.0).
We may just want to change our test to see if our libarchive is installed
rather than if it claims to support --hfsCompression.
I still think supporting compression is a big win, especially for
developers (header files are excellent compression fodder, and compilers
have lots of them) or anyone on a laptop (fixed size storage; every byte
counts.)
