When do you plan to upload it to unstable? upx-ucl has been in experimental for 3 months already, so I thought it could be good idea to upload it to unstable, but I've noticed that lzma 9.22 is still in experimental only.

That's not a recommended practice to do this, quite the contrary. I agree. For me it's just not a good idea to put two unrelated sources into one source package. It's harder to maintain it that way. Just tell me if something more is needed in the package I provided earlier in the bug report. Nothing more is required. FYI, I am planning to upload this evening in experimental.

Well, unless there are real advantages (faster speed or better compression ratio), I do not think we want to work on this now.

It's not so simple, because it would require a copy of the lzma sources and I don't like the idea of distributing external sources with upx. I noted we have now lzma-dev and lzma-source packages in the experimental suite, however they contain too little lzma source files to be useful for upx. The following LZMA sources seem to be needed: #if (WITH_LZMA = 0x449) # define INITGUID 1 //# include CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMADecoder.h # include CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMAEncoder.h #else # include C/Common/MyInitGuid.h //# include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMADecoder.h # include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMAEncoder.h #endif -- #if (WITH_LZMA = 0x449) # include C/Alloc.c # include C/7zCrc.c # include C/Compress/Lz/MatchFinder.c //# include CPP/7zip/Common/InBuffer.cpp # include CPP/7zip/Common/OutBuffer.cpp # include CPP/7zip/Common/StreamUtils.cpp //# include CPP/7zip/Compress/LZ/LZOutWindow.cpp //# include CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMADecoder.cpp # include CPP/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMAEncoder.cpp # include CPP/7zip/Compress/RangeCoder/RangeCoderBit.cpp #else # include C/Common/Alloc.cpp # include C/Common/CRC.cpp //# include C/7zip/Common/InBuffer.cpp # include C/7zip/Common/OutBuffer.cpp # include C/7zip/Common/StreamUtils.cpp # include C/7zip/Compress/LZ/LZInWindow.cpp //# include C/7zip/Compress/LZ/LZOutWindow.cpp //# include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMADecoder.cpp # include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA/LZMAEncoder.cpp # include C/7zip/Compress/RangeCoder/RangeCoderBit.cpp #endif #undef RC_NORMALIZE -- #undef _LZMA_LOC_OPT #if (WITH_LZMA = 0x449) # include C/Compress/Lzma/LzmaDecode.h # include C/Compress/Lzma/LzmaDecode.c #else # include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA_C/LzmaDecode.h # include C/7zip/Compress/LZMA_C/LzmaDecode.c #endif One way to fix the bug would be to add the missing files to lzma-dev (or provide full source in lzma-source).

[...] Robert One way to fix the bug would be to add the missing files to Robert lzma-dev (or provide full source in lzma-source). However Robert convincing upstream lzma authors to provide proper Robert development library would be much better. Actually, the upstream author is working on a development library, but nothing seems to have been released yet. But as you said, it would be possible to add the missing files to lzma-dev package. However, I don't know yet when I will have the time to work on it because I have a lot of work ATM, feel free to submit a bug report on lzma-dev and/or a patch ;).
