Package: lzma Version: 4.43-14 Severity: important lzma is an excellent compression scheme but its default is not best for everything
a feature of the LZMA sdk it really needs to expose is the memory settings, as lzma uses a considerible large default dictionary of 16MB for -7 and under, and 32MB for higher compression modes. lzma should expose the -m parametres of the 7z command so that you can do for example -md=8 to only use 8 megs this is implamented in the upstream toolkit, and even the documentation distributed with p7zip package, and on my hard disk /usr/share/doc/p7zip-full/DOCS/MANUAL/switches/method.htm (which this package is part of upstream ---and is also distributed seperately, now under the public domain--http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html) has documentation showing that these features are there. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lzma depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 lzma recommends no packages. lzma suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
