New description:
== gzip-1.3.12 ==
zdiff and zcmp don't work as expected (no output at all)
bzdiff works fine in opposite to gzip's crap.
> me too (read that as "maybe nobody uses these, since no-one noticed
until you reported it"). Does it work in distros (a quick look at fedora
suggests they don't do anything obvious to fix this) ? i.e. is it an LFS-
specific problem ? If it's general, do upstream know ? (Tested with a
couple of gzipped -1 and -2 patches from debian that I happen to have in
/sources - most people probably never have anything suitable to use with
zdiff or zcmp).
The easiest way to solve this (I think) is to rewrite bzip2's analogous
scripts to make them work with gzip archives (these are ordinary bash
scripts).
> but why would we go further down the road of writing our own scripts so
that we pretend to be a distro ?
== tar ==
Annoying absence of tar man page in LFS. Why can't we just take one from
some distro?
> because upstream uses info, and hopefully keeps it up to date ?
