./archivers/lhasa, Freely licensed lha archiving tool (for .lzh and .lha files)

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ] [ Image Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.5.0, Package name: lhasa-0.5.0, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Lhasa is a library for parsing LHA (.lzh) archives and a free
replacement for the Unix LHA tool.

Currently it is only possible to read from (i.e., decompress)
archives; generating (compressing) LHA archives may be an enhancement
for future versions. The aim is to be compatible with as many
different variants of the LHA file format as possible, including
LArc (.lzs) and PMarc (.pma).

The command line tool aims to be interface-compatible with the
non-free Unix LHA tool (command line syntax and output), for
backwards compatibility with tools that expect particular output.

Log message:
lhasa: update to 0.5.0

Upstream changes (from NEWS.md):

## v0.5.0 (2025-08-01):

 * The output from the list subcommands has been tweaked to be more
   consistent. This should help to avoid parsing bugs with
   naively-written programs and scripts that parse the list output.
   This includes various GUI tools.
 * The test suite was expanded to include archives generated by Tascal
   Lha (a Windows CE port); LH/2 (an OS/2 port); ExpLZH; and the port
   of Lha that ships with MorphOS.
 * A workaround was added for a bug with the Amiga port of lha that
   causes some versions to generate malformed archives where
   directories are stored using the -lh0- compression type. Thanks to
   @zzarko, @polluks, @alfredone and @jsummers for their work on
   figuring out the bug.
 * Support was added for the 64-bit file sizes header, allowing huge
   files (>=4GiB) generated by the MorphOS port of lha to be
   extracted correctly.
 * The compression ratio shown in list output now always rounds up to
   the next 0.1%, which is a more pessimistic but more honest. For
   example, very highly compressed files might be shown as "0.1%" of
   their original size, but never "0.0%".
 * The manual page now includes more detailed information about the
   different list subcommands.
 * The liblhasa headers are now installed into a directory with a name
   that accurately reflects the project's version number.
 * The liblhasa .so version numbers now have meaningful numbers.
 * Some error messages were changed to print filenames safely.
 * Several minor memory leaks were fixed.
 * Extraction of DECLHA self-extracting archives was fixed.
 * Tests can now be run correctly in parallel.
 * The Doxygen search feature was enabled for the documentation pages.
 * Undefined behavior in the BitStreamReader code was fixed (thanks
   @sezero)
 * Some static arrays were made constant (thanks Cameron Cawley).
 * Out-of-tree builds were fixed (thanks Daisuke Fujimura)

Log message:
lhasa: update to 0.4.0.

Upstream changes:
 https://github.com/fragglet/lhasa/blob/v0.4.0/NEWS

v0.4.0 (2023-05-14):

     * The manpage was expanded, with more information about different
       compression formats, example commands, a BUGS section and some
       additional references in the SEE ALSO section.
     * A verbose mode was added to the list output that shows the full file
       timestamp (thanks Dan Fandrich).
     * Support for archives generated by the DOS LHARK tool was added; big
       thanks go to Jason Summers for his tool DEARK and his comprehensive
       writeup on the LHARK format.
     * Some changes were made for compatibility with old versions of
       autotools (thanks Ozkan Sezer).
     * Some tweaks were made to tests to make them work on BSD systems.
     * Segmentation fault on NetBSD/amd64 was fixed when decoding 8-bit
       character filenames (thanks Izumi Tsutsui).
     * Some minor tweaks and fixes were made to the help text and manpage
       (thanks Stefan)
     * Some spelling mistakes were fixed, excess whitespace was trimmed, and
       the website link in the RPC spec file was fixed (thanks a1346054 and
       Jakub Wilk).
     * A potential integer overflow in the lha_decode_*uint32 functions was
       fixed (thanks Jacub Wilk).

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F

With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.

This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
