./archivers/lzip, Lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm

[ Image CVSweb ] [ Image Homepage ] [ Image RSS ] [ Image Required by ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.26, Package name: lzip-1.26, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with
very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of
gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses
better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution
and data archiving.

Log message:
lzip: updated to 1.26

Changes in version 1.26:

'-dvv' and '-tvv' now print (de)compressed sizes instead of compression
ratio. (Sizes are more informative than compression ratio).

Large numbers in option arguments are now accepted with underscore
separators (-s 123_456_789).

Large numbers are now printed with underscore separators (123_456_789).

'-h' now prints a short help screen containing only the command-line
options. For full help, use '--help'.

'--list' now can safely skip any trailing data added to a lzip file by the
option '--append' of lziprecover.

'--list' now prints '+t' after the number of members to indicate the
presence of trailing data, and prints the size of the trailing data below
the size of the last member.

'-lvv' now prints a blank line between the list of members of each
multimember file and the next file.

Several improvements suggested by John Gilmore have been made to the manual.

'EXIT STATUS' now has its own section in the man page.

lzip: update to 1.24.

Changes in version 1.24:

The option '--empty-error', which forces exit status 2 if any empty member
is found, has been added.

The option '--marking-error', which forces exit status 2 if the first LZMA
byte is non-zero in any member, has been added.

File diagnostics have been reformatted as 'PROGRAM: FILE: MESSAGE'.

Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command-line options now show the
argument and the name of the option.

The option '-o, --output' now preserves dates, permissions, and ownership of
the file when (de)compressing exactly one file.

The option '-o, --output' now creates missing intermediate directories when
writing to a file.

The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in.
