Sorry, no.
One simple way forward would be to implement what pigz -tl does,
namely, decompress the input stream and discard the output, but print
its size. It's slow, but it works and requires no change to the gzip
format. Is that something you could do?
That's not bad idea. However I think that general problem is speed for
large archives in these days. But I understand that this is maybe best
solution without change of gzip format.
May I will be able to work on patch, sometimes during next months, when
I have time. I think that patch
should add new option, which will ignore field with input size data and
get it as you described above.
So user will be able to set which method will be used.
