xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

xz-utils (5.1.1alpha+20110809-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * liblzma: Match upstream ABI.
    - Remove the lzma_chunk_size() function.
    - A few ABI tweaks to reserved space in structures.
    - Enable ELF symbol versioning.
    - Bump soname to 5.
    - Continue to leave out threading support, since the relevant
      interfaces in liblzma are not yet stable.
  * xz-utils/README.Debian: Remove note on ABI differences.
  * Remove liblzma/README.Debian.
  * liblzma: Introduce a lzma_code@Base compatibility symbol to ensure
    programs linked against unversioned symbols from liblzma2 can
    share a process image with liblzma5 without breaking.
  * debian/symbols: XZ_5.0 symbols come from liblzma5.  Build-Depends:
    dpkg-dev (>= 1.15.6); thanks to Jakub Wilk for a reminder.
  * debian/symbols: The lzma_code@Base symbol is not guaranteed to
    continue to exist in the future, so tell dpkg-shlibdeps to produce
    an error if some package manages to use it.

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.

liblzma-doc: XZ-format compression library - API documentation

 This package contains a reference manual for the liblzma data
 compression library, in Doxygen-generated HTML files. The purpose
 of each struct, macro, and function in the public interface is
 explained.

liblzma5: No summary available for liblzma5 in ubuntu quantal.

xz-lzma: XZ-format compression utilities - compatibility commands

 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 symbolic links allowing xz-utils to provide the
 same interface for manipulating LZMA files as the lzma package. The
 xz-utils package can handle LZMA files on its own; this package is
 only necessary when using scripts or other programs that require the
 older command names.

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.
