Package: p7zip Version: 4.29.dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
I've written a small wrapper script that provides gzip-like interface: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/7z$ echo foo | ./p7zip | file - /dev/stdin: 7z archive data, version 0.2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/7z$ echo foo | ./p7zip | ./p7zip -d foo It sort off works around bug #323932 (Cannot combine -si and -so options) by using temporary files. But since streaming isn't supported in 7z, it's not very efficient. Later one could patch tar appropiately so that something like this can be done: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/7z$ PATH=.:$PATH tar -cIvf bar.7z ./bar ./bar [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/7z$ PATH=.:$PATH tar -xIvf bar.7z ./bar Please could you add this to the package? It'd be nice if you sent it upstream also.
