./archivers/cabextract, Microsoft cabinet (.CAB) file extractor

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.11, Package name: cabextract-1.11, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft
cabinet file format (.cab) or any binary file which contains an
embedded cabinet file (frequently found in .exe files).

cabextract will extract all files from all cabinet files specified on
the command line

To extract a multi-part cabinet consisting of several files, only give
the first file as an argument to cabextract as it will automatically
look for the remaining files.

Log message:
cabextract: update to 1.11.

New in 1.11
* Fixed bug in creating directories given in archives, e.g. extracting file
  "a/b.c" from a cab file wouldn't create directory "a" \ 
(broken in 1.10)

Log message:
cabextract: update to 1.10.

New in 1.10
* Multiple -F filters can be given. cabextract will extract files matching
  ANY of the filters
* cabextract now overwrites symlinks by default. This is to be consistent
  with other archive tools. Use the new -k option for the old behaviour of
  keeping symlinks. This does not affect symlinks in the -d dirpath option
* New "-n" option to never overwrite files.
* New "-i" option to interactively prompt if you want to overwrite files
