I tried to apply a patch that substitutes 'p7zip' for '7z' as you proposed and it solved the compression problem. # star -c -7z -f archive.tar.7z test star: 1 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 10240 bytes = 10.00k). ----- However I bumped into a problem when I tried to extract the '.tar.7z' archive: # star -x -f test.tar.7z star: WARNING: Archive is '7z' compressed, trying to use the -7z option. star: Hard EOF on input, first EOF block is missing at -1. star: 0 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 0 bytes = 0.00k). star: Compress program returned error[7]. star: Processed all possible files, despite earlier errors. When '7z' is used explicitly, it works fine: # 7z x -so test.tar.7z | star -x -f - star: 579 blocks + 0 bytes (total of 5928960 bytes = 5790.00k). I will have to take a look at this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
