  • Manpage/behavior mismatch in p7zip wrapper

    The description in the manpage for the 'p7zip' wrapper is more or less copied from the '7z' one. However, 'p7zip' only works on *.7z files at the moment. Either the description should be updated, or the wrapper should accept all extensions that '7z' does.

  • Unicode surrogate pair handling

    7z with unicode file name with surrogate pair is not handled well in Linux. For example, if the file name is U+2004E, it will become U+004E ("N") in 7z archive in Linux. However, U+2004E can be encoded into header with surrogate pair correctly in Windows. This problem is caused by different in wchar_t. In Linux, sizeof(wchar_t) is 4, and mbstowcs will convert U+2004E from UTF-8 into...

  • Followup: RE: E_NOTIMPL for stdin / stdout pipe

    -txz format supports only one file per archive. "/" folder contains many files. Create one archive from that folder, for example .tar. Then use .xz.

  • Followup: RE: E_NOTIMPL for stdin / stdout pipe

    Ah, I've missed that you want to get data from STDIN... [b]-si[/b] blocks until some input happens. However without it 7z does not work: [quote]# 7za a -an -txz -so / > /dev/null Scanning Creating archive stdout System error: E_INVALIDARG # 7za a dummy -txz -so / > /dev/null Scanning Creating archive stdout System error: E_INVALIDARG[/quote].

  • Comment: zip extraction loss execute bit in applications

    I've tried what ether eon said. But in the file I'm testing with the MadeByVersion.HostOS returns 0, so uses kFAT. Here the file I'm talking about: http://www.blackra1n.com/blackra1n.zip.

  • Can't extract NSIS archives

    NSIS archives appear to be relatively 7-Zip archives with an SFX, and they extract fine under Windows 7-Zip (and have for some time). However, there appear to be several problems with extracting them with p7zip. I'm using foobar2000 ( http://www.foobar2000.org/download ) as an example: * First, there are two packed entries for "/", which causes p7zip to ask if I'd like to overwrite...

  • Comment: Preserve timestamps

    Agreed. I just encountered this problem as well. Most of the Linux compression-only formats preserve the original date modified timestamp across compression and decompression. This even includes the newish xz utilities. Eg.: $ ls -l Axelay.sfc <SNIP> 2010-12-19 16:49 Axelay.sfc $ xz Axelay.sfc $ ls -l Axelay.sfc.xz <SNIP> 2010-12-19 16:49 Axelay.sfc.xz $ unxz Axelay.sfc.xz $...

  • p7zip doesn't respect POSIX ACLs.

    When p7zip creates an archive, the created archive file doesn't respect default POSIX ACLs. For example, "7z a blah.7z foobar.txt" would create a file with permission 644 even if the default ACL for the parent directory dictates 775(for files, 664 would be the resultant permission.) How can I make p7zip respect POSIX ACLs?.
