how can I handle *.z7 compressed archives in Build Service. I the ending does not seem to be detected automatically for extraction.

7 zip compression is essentially the same as lzma. But I am not sure, if both share the same file format. If it's the same, a rename from *.7z to *.lzma should suffice.

7z is a container format that can contain data compressed with LZMA or other formats, like bzip2. LZMA is the raw data that exists from the encoder. So no, a rename would not work.

Yes, that's what I expected.

If you want to use LZMA to store more than a single file on Unix you would use .tar.lzma.

So Hubert is right. The files must be repacked. Herbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
