Package: pristine-tar Version: 0.18 Followup-For: Bug #506627 I've attached a tarball of gz, a cut-down version of gzip I created which should prove suitable for incorporation into pristine-tar. It removes various options including decompression and file support, and adds options to set the timestamp and original filename.
Together with the timestamp option for zgz in bug 507110, and perhaps some work to incorporate gz into zgz (handling zgz's --gnu option without exec'ing another program), this would allow pristine-gz to avoid depending on GNU gzip (addressing 506627), avoid temporary files, and address bugs 506626 and 506412. Eventually, gz could potentially become a library like zlib, and pristine-gz could use it and zlib in-process to test alternatives block-by-block in parallel. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pristine-tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl-modules 5.10.0-18 Core Perl modules ii xdelta 1.1.3-8 A diff utility which works with bi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages pristine-tar recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co pn pbzip2 <none> (no description available) pristine-tar suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
