:  Disable ar support in libarchive due to buffer overflow bugs.
    I'm a bit confused about this one... is this a workaround to avoid
    running buggy code that is still present rather then a fix for the
    buggy code?

This was the quick workaround. As far as I understood joerg, this code is not really ready for prime time yet. He also indicated that he would work on a fix. In any case, this is no crucial feature. I think we should wait until a fixed upstream version appears.


cheers
