Hello all.
When I noticed that p7zip hadn't had a new release in nearly 5 years I
checked to see if perhaps this package was picked up by someone else.
Sure enough, I came across a fork of p7zip here:
https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip/
The page has this under the "About" section:
"A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and
improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/)."
The fixes introduced by the BLFS p7zip patch are incorporated in this
fork, and as far as I can see the build process is exactly same as the
one for the existing p7zip.
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Just following up here - we moved to p7zip-17.03, which is the latest
version of the new fork, at r24176. It should be in the next render.
Thank you again for bringing this up!

Just a quick addendum:
p7zip 17.03 compresses its man pages before installing. I noticed this
when testing the install and inspecting the files afterwards. The
behaviour can be avoided by suppressing the compression of the man
pages:
sed '/^gzip/d' -i install.sh
Cheers,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
I've implemented that sed at r24179. Thank you for bringing it up!
