Package: tar Version: 1.20-1 Severity: wishlist
tar has a --lzma option in the man page but it is a pain to use tar xvf --lzma foo.tar.lzma tar: --lzma: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar --lzma xvf foo.tar.lzma tar: You must specift one of the `-Acdtrux` option tar -xvf --lzma foo.tar.lzma tar: --lzma: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar xvf foo.tar.lzma tar: This does not look like a tar archive ok finially: tar xv --lzma -f foo.tar.lzma tar should be able to recognize .lzma archives and unpack them without any special arguments. also it would be nice to have a single-letter flag, although there are no fitting ones left. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) 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 tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries tar recommends no packages.
