xz-utils 5.0.0-2 source package in Bilimbi Test
Changelog
xz-utils (5.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Upload to unstable.
* liblzma2, liblzma-dev, xz-lzma: Install release notes.
* debian/symbols: Bump the minimal versions for lzma_index_encoder,
lzma_index_decoder to the version in which they gained LZMA_FINISH
support.
* xz-utils/README.Debian: Document differences from upstream ABI.
* debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Avoid empty changelog entries when
multiple Debian revisions match an upstream tag.
xz-utils (5.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Upload to experimental.
* New stable upstream release. Closes: #592298.
- xz avoids SA_RESTART. This should not have a visible effect
because xz already blocked signals during operations that
would be difficult to resume after interruption.
- liblzma: The coders returned by lzma_index_encoder() and
lzma_index_decoder() support an LZMA_FINISH action, with
identical semantics to LZMA_RUN.
- The printable (PDF and PS) versions of the manual are easier
to read.
- Many documentation and build system cleanups.
* liblzma: Back out upstream ABI tweaks.
* liblzma/README.Debian: Document ABI differences from upstream.
* Copy sample code not included in the release tarball from
the development upstream repository to debian/examples.
* debian/rules clean: Remove some files not included in the
release tarball.
* copyright: List new INSTALL.generic license.
* debian/rules clean: Take new build-aux scripts into account.
* debian/rules: Adapt for upstream build system changes.
Closes: #540443.
* xz-utils, xzdec: Install release notes.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100927-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New snapshot, taken from upstream commit cec0ddc.
- liblzma: The meaning of --extreme has been tweaked to address
cases in which it made the compression ratio worse. Some files
might benefit slightly less from --extreme.
- xz: Table columns are not misaligned any more in messages with
multi-byte characters (e.g., file sizes with LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8).
- xz: New German and Italian translations.
- Various documentation, message, and translation updates.
* Update copyright file.
* debian/rules get-orig-source: Update upstream Git URL.
* xz-utils/README.Debian: Advertise XZ_DEFAULTS.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100903-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New snapshot, taken from upstream commit 373ee26.
- liblzma: The settings for compression levels 0 through 5
(used by xz -0/.../-5) have been tweaked. This affects the
speed, compression ratio, and memory usage at compression and
decompression time.
- Does not search so hard for a match when a low "nice match
length" setting is specified without a depth.
- xz: The -1/.../-9 preset options override any previously
specified filters, rather than vice versa. To mix presets
with filter options, use the --lzma2=preset=n option.
- xz: Warns about --memlimit-compress settings that result in
compression settings changing even if no explicit -1/.../-9,
--lzma1, or --lzma2 option was used.
- "xz -v -v --compress" now prints an estimate of the memory
required to decompress a file.
* debian/copyright: Update upstream Git URL.
* debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Permit terser changelog lines.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.1 (checked).

Binary packages built by this source
- liblzma-dev: XZ-format compression library - development files
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
.
The native format of liblzma is XZ; it also supports raw (headerless)
streams and the older LZMA format used by lzma. (For 7-Zip's related
format, use the p7zip package instead.) This package provides the
development library needed to build programs using liblzma.
- liblzma2: XZ-format compression library
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
.
The native format of liblzma is XZ; it also supports raw (headerless)
streams and the older LZMA format used by lzma. (For 7-Zip's related
format, use the p7zip package instead.)
- xz-utils: XZ-format compression utilities
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
.
This package provides the command line tools for working with XZ
compression, including xz, unxz, xzcat, xzgrep, and so on. They can
also handle the older LZMA format, and if invoked via appropriate
symlinks will emulate the behavior of the commands in the lzma
package.
.
The XZ format is similar to the older LZMA format but includes some
improvements for general use:
.
* 'file' magic for detecting XZ files;
* crc64 data integrity check;
* limited random-access reading support;
* improved support for multithreading (not used in xz-utils);
* support for flushing the encoder.
- xzdec: XZ-format compression utilities - tiny decompressors
XZ is the successor to the Lempel-
Ziv/Markov- chain Algorithm
compression format, which provides memory-hungry but powerful
compression (often better than bzip2) and fast, easy decompression.
.
This package provides the xzdec and lzmadec utilities, which write
the decompressed version of a compressed file to standard output. The
binaries are very small, so they can be easily stored on small media
with some compressed files, and they are linked statically against
liblzma so they can be used on machines without a compatible version
of liblzma installed. However, they have:
.
* no compression support;
* no support for writing to a file other than standard output;
* no translated messages;
* been optimized for size rather than speed.
.
For a full-featured xzcat command without these limitations, use
the xz-utils package instead.
