Package: tar
Version: 1.15.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch upstream
Hi!
Please, could you apply this patch to make tar auto-detect 7zipped tarballs?
It adds the magic numbers in src/buffer.c so that you can do:
tar -xf foo.tar.7z
without having to specify an uncompressor manualy.
This patch has already been sent to upstream.

My current builds of tar are configured with --with-lzma=xz, and
automatic detection of lzma compressed archives appears to work fine for
listing and extracting operations with no compression algorithm
explicitly specified.
