Removed dependency on native tar command and used libarchive library #447

Closed albuquerque closed 5 years ago

albuquerque commented 5 years ago

Replaced call to tar utility and added support for libarchive library instead as we were having issues with tar hanging up infinitely for EOF forcing us to restart iceccd. This gives the ability to use all environments supported by libarchive without having to depend on an external utility.

Also added more descriptive log messages.

As requested, I have updated the NEWS and README files as well in the latest commit.

Next release will probably be 1.3, but that can be considered latter.

Thanks for your work.
