Hello,
On the ed page it states that libarchive is required to extract the tarball.
This is totally incorrect. To uncompress the source tarball you need:
lzip which is located at:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lzip-1.16.tar.gz
If you try to uncompress the archive with only libarchive installed you
get the following:
/usr/src/stats: line 33: =======: command not found
tar (child): lzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
How is this going to effect the release of the book? Do we now have to
create a new page for lzip as it is actually required to decompress the
archive. Or do we just do an external link for lzip?
libarchive has the bsdtar program. Try:
bsdtar -xf ../ed-1.10.tar.lz
