Notes about Debian 7-Zip packages.
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Debian 7-Zip suite consists of the three following packages:
|
|
|
|
1. p7zip package, which is the smallest one and includes:
|
|
|
|
- 7zr command, which provides support for compressing and
|
|
decompressing archives in 7-Zip, LZMA and XZ formats only.
|
|
|
|
*Note*: the 7zr command cannot be used neither on archives
|
|
protected by passwords, nor on archives that use the PPMD
|
|
compression method. However both are supported by 7za and 7z
|
|
commands from the p7zip-full package.
|
|
|
|
- p7zip script which is a gzip-like wrapper on 7zr or 7za
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
2. p7zip-full package that depends on the above p7zip package
|
|
and consists of:
|
|
|
|
- 7za command which is standalone command line version of 7-Zip.
|
|
It supports more archive formats than 7zr.
|
|
|
|
- 7z command which is the full featured command line version of
|
|
7-Zip. 7z uses other modules from 7-Zip package, so it handles
|
|
more archive formats, but might be a bit slower than 7za.
|
|
Modules are installed in /usr/lib/p7zip.
|
|
|
|
- Small additional documentation in the HTML format.
|
|
|
|
3. Non-free p7zip-rar package that contains non-free (due to the terms
|
|
of the UnRAR license) Rar.so module for the 7z command.
|
|
|
|
Note concerning directory exclusion.
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Directory exclusion only works when an exclude list file is provided
|
|
and if directories to exclude are listed as relative paths of the
|
|
location 7z or 7za is run from.
|
|
|
|
- Using absolute directories *won't* work, as noted in #296665.
