Package: archivemount
Version: 0.6.1-2+b1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

just tried using archivemount with a .7z archive, but it unfortunately
didn't work, the mount point is empty.

Before I tried archivemounting a .tar.xz which worked fine, but
unfortunately also took a while on this 1GB+ archive.


I'm not really into the details of compression algorithms and their
container formats. But I'd guess that theoretically mounting a .7z
archive should be much faster as the directory and file information are
somehow more easily accesable, therefore not requiring to uncompress the
whole archive before getting that information compared to .tar.xz, right?
At least with 'ark' displaying the archive contents is instant with a
.7z, while with the .tar.xz it again takes a while.

As both .7z and .tar.xz use LZMA, the size of those two is pretty much
the same. Therefore .7z could be a supperior solution to .tar.xz or
.tar.lzma for archivemounting?

Looks like .7z is supported by libarchive, too.

Cheers, Linus
