I was able to build the "Mefisto" p7zip-9.13 package on Lucid. Link: https://launchpad.net/~dariovezzosi/+archive/ppa/+build/1969190
Commands: wget 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/dariovezzosi/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/p7zip/p7zip_9.13.orig.tar.gz' wget 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/dariovezzosi/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/p7zip/p7zip_9.13-0mefisto1.dsc' wget 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/dariovezzosi/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/p7zip/p7zip_9.13-0mefisto1.diff.gz' dpkg-source -x p7zip_9.13-0mefisto1.dsc cd p7zip-9.13 fakeroot debian/rules binary cd .. sudo dpkg -i p7*.deb p7zip 9.13 adds the ability to decompress PPMd (Method 98) files from WinZip "zipx" archives. This is a key feature on a desktop distribution IMO. Many users have resorted to using Wine to extract these files: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1191546 Having native p7zip PPMd support would be a major improvement over this method. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685779 Title: p7zip is very old beta version and should be replaced by final version 9.20 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
