[Bug 965140] star uses wrong p7zip compressor

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965140 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965140#c5 --- Comment #5 from Kristyna Streitova --- "p7zip script" is a Debian gzip-like CLI wrapper for p7zip. If you have this wrapper installed you can for example do: tar --use-compress-program=p7zip -cf file.tar.7z dir/ However, it seems that this script is used by Debian only. It lives in the Debian p7zip package (there is no upstream github and the like) and even though that p7zip upstream tarball ships the copy of it, the copy is very old. Because of that, I think that it would be better not to base 7z support in star on this script but on 7zr binary per se, if possible. @Jörg Schiling: What do you think? Is there any way how to avoid using this "p7zip script" in star? Thanks for considering it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
