Subject: Updated: p7zip-9.20.1-1
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 22:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110626220500.5H40QWM2H_RZiecoQoJMXcI7B6LZaoN9WWq-yTgVIfk@z> (raw)
p7zip is the Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives
with very high compression ratios.
p7zip provides /usr/bin/7zr, a standalone minimal version of the
7-zip tool that only handles 7z archives. It also provides
/usr/bin/7za, a statically-linked application that supports packing
and unpacking 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, and tar archives. Additionally,
it provides /usr/bin/7z, a module-based application that supports
the full set of 7-zip compression formats:
pack/unpack: 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, xz, tar, wim
unpacking: arj, cab, chm, cpio, deb, dmg, hfs, lzh, lzma, xar, z
installer formats: nsis, deb, rpm, msi
filesystem images: cramfs, squashfs, udf, iso, ntfs,
fat, vhd, mbr
RAR unpacking support is NOT provided, as the UnRAR license not
OSI-approved and is incompatible with cygwin. You are free to download
the source package and rebuild p7zip *for your own personal use* as
long as you do not distribute the resulting binary, if you need RAR
unpacking support.
