Please Cc: me in answers. Hi,
this mail comes as a follow up to the thread posted in last December about p7zip support in tar and more especially to this post: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2006-01/msg00022.html I am the Debian maintainer of p7zip and LZMA and I have prepared a new LZMA package for Debian including the Tukaani (<http://tukaani.org/lzma/>) lzma-utils. It is available at <http://adn.diwi.org/debian/lzma/4.43+utils.1-1/> as source and binary and provides a gzip-like command-line interface to LZMA. LZMA with lzma-utils *do* support streaming. And the LZMA package in Debian will actually support it as soon as I upload it. Examples: --------- % echo foo | lzma lzma: compressed data not written to a terminal. Use -f to force compression. % echo foo | lzma -f ] ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ 3ìÿÿÿÿ % echo foo | lzma -f | lzma -d foo Is there something else needed to have LZMA supported in tar? A patch for tar is available at <http://adn.diwi.org/debian/lzma/4.43+utils.1-1/tar_lzma.diff> and suggests the use of Y as a switch. But if you have another swith in mind, just use it instead. Thanks for considering, -- adn Mohammed Adnène Trojette _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
