./archivers/lziprecover, Recovery tool for lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm

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


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.24, Package name: lziprecover-1.24, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the
lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files,
recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged
members from multi-member files, decompress files and test integrity of
files.

Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of
the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip
and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format
one of the best options for long-term data archiving.

Lziprecover is able to efficiently extract a range of bytes from a
multi-member file, because it only decompresses the members containing
the desired data.

lziprecover: update to 1.22.

2021-01-02  Antonio Diaz Diaz  <antonio@gnu.org>

	* Version 1.22 released.
	* New options '-e, --reproduce', '--lzip-level', '--lzip-name',
	  '--reference-file', and '-E, --debug-reproduce'.
	* Remove '--dump-tdata', '--remove-tdata', and '--strip-tdata'.
	* main.cc (main): Report an error if a file name is empty.
	  Make '-o' behave like '-c', but writing to file.
	  Make '-c' and '-o' check whether the output is a terminal only once.
	  Do not open output if input is a terminal.
	* main.cc (decompress): With '-i', ignore data errors, keep files.
	* range_dec.cc: '-i -D' now decompresses a truncated last member.
	* '-i -D' now returns 0 if only ignored errors are found.
	* '-i' now considers any block > 36 with header a member, not a gap.
	* Replace 'decompressed', 'compressed' with 'out', 'in' in output.
	* Fix several compiler warnings. (Reported by Nissanka Gooneratne).
	* lzip_index.cc: Improve messages for corruption in last header.
	* New debug options '-M, --md5sum' and '-U, --unzcrash'.

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F

With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.

This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.

Log message:
lziprecover: updated to 1.21

Changes in version 1.21:

The options '--dump', '--remove' and '--strip' have been added, mainly as
support for the tarlz archive format: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/tarlz.html
These options replace '--dump-tdata', '--remove-tdata' and '--strip-tdata',
which are now aliases and will be removed in version 1.22.

  '--dump=[<member_list>][:damaged][:tdata]' dumps the members listed, the
  damaged members (if any), or the trailing data (if any) of one or more
  regular multimember files to standard output.

  '--remove=[<member_list>][:damaged][:tdata]' removes the members listed,
  the damaged members (if any), or the trailing data (if any) from regular
  multimember files in place.

  '--strip=[<member_list>][:damaged][:tdata]' copies one or more regular
  multimember files to standard output, stripping the members listed, the
  damaged members (if any), or the trailing data (if any) from each file.

Detection of forbidden combinations of characters in trailing data has been
improved.

'--split' can now detect trailing data and gaps between members, and save
each gap in its own file. Trailing data (if any) are saved alone in the last
file. (Gaps may contain garbage or may be members with corrupt headers or
trailers).

'--ignore-errors' now makes '--list' show gaps between members, ignoring
format errors.

'--ignore-errors' now makes '--range-decompress' ignore a truncated last
member.

Errors are now also checked when closing the input file in decompression
mode.

Some diagnostic messages have been improved.

'\n' is now printed instead of '\r' when showing progress of merge or repair
if stdout is not a terminal.

Lziprecover now compiles on DOS with DJGPP. (Patch from Robert Riebisch).

The new chapter 'Tarlz', explaining the ways in which lziprecover can
recover and process multimember tar.lz archives, has been added to the
manual.

The configure script now accepts appending options to CXXFLAGS using the
syntax 'CXXFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.

It has been documented in INSTALL the use of
CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' when compiling on MinGW.

Log message:
Changes in version 1.19:

'--merge' is now able to fix files with thousands of scattered errors
per member by grouping the errors into clusters and then merging the
files as if each cluster were a single error.

The option '-a, --trailing-error' now works with '-l, --list' and
'-D, --range-decompress'.

The output of option '-l, --list' has been simplified to make it easier
to read.

In test mode, lziprecover now continues checking the rest of the files
if any input file is a terminal.

Trailing data are now shown both in hexadecimal and as a string of
printable ASCII characters.
