Hi Lee,
I don't know much about Compress' API, only as a user of the API in some
projects.
I had a cursory look, read comments and JIRA and left comments on GitHub PR. No
blockers for me. Hope it helps.
Thanks for bringing it to the mailing list, and for the review.
CheersBruno

Hi all,
Robin has pushed a PR in github in July that implemented the random access of
tar :
https://github.com/apache/commons-compress/pull/113
It's achieved by reading the tar once and have the start position of each tar
entry stored. Tar is not designed to be random accessed so this may be a time
consuming way.
IMO this is not a must feature, but it's a good idea that may be useful when we
only want some specific entries in giant tars. This is a big change in tar so I
want to hear your voices. WDYT?
cheers,
Lee
