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.

XZ-format compression library - API documentation
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)

.
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.

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-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.

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.
Changes: xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100602-1~bpo50+1) lenny-backports; urgency=low
.
* Rebuild for lenny-backports.
* Switch source/format from 3.0 (quilt) to 1.0 for lenny bpo:
- debian/control: Build-Depends: quilt (>= 0.46-7~)
- debian/rules: include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make
- debian/rules: invoke dh with --with quilt
- debian/source/format: use 1.0
* Change gettext+autopoint dependency to either some version
of gettext plus autopoint, or some older version of gettext
that did not yet require autopoint users to use autopoint
explicitly plus cvs, which was required to depend on, by
suggestion of sid package maintainer Jonathan Nieder.
* Explicitly depend on autoconf (>= 2.64~) due to AC_PREREQ.
* Add myself to Uploaders.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100602-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d8b41eed.
- The output from "xz -v --list" and "xz -v -v --list" has been
improved.
"xz -v -v --list" can be used to obtain an estimate for the memory
required to decompress a file.
- The xz manual page has some new material, including examples.
Closes: #578465.
- liblzma: The lzma_block_compressed_size() function no longer
returns LZMA_DATA_ERROR for valid Blocks.
* debian/symbols: Bump minimal version for lzma_block_compressed_size.
* Correct the 4.999.9beta+20100307-1 changelog entry to describe
which public functions were affected.
.
* Add new xz-lzma package to allow xz to provide lzma and related
commands. Conflicts: and Provides: lzma.
* xz-utils: Suggests: xz-lzma.
* xz-utils/README.Debian: Take xz-lzma into account.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100527-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit a334348dc.
- Show both elapsed time and estimated remaining time in xz -v.
Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the idea. Closes: #574583.
- liblzma: Remove the Subblock filter from the public API
(the ABI is unchanged).
* liblzma-dev.NEWS: Update.
* xz-utils: Update Czech translation.
* Change priority of xz-utils and liblzma2 to required and
xzdec to extra.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100307-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit f4b2b526.
- liblzma: The stream initialization functions were not correctly
initializing the internal allow_buffer_error flag. As a result,
ever since 4.999.9beta-1 in rare circumstances when decompressing
LZMA files, the xz tool would produce spurious "Unexpected end
of input" failures (Gentoo bug 305591).
- The default memory usage limit on low-memory systems has been
increased.
* debian/copyright: Clarify.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100212-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* debian/control: Build-Depends: autopoint instead of cvs.
Closes: #572481.
* debian/copyright: Clean up and include more details.
* debian/rules get-orig-source: Unindent comment lines.
* xz-utils: include Czech translation.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100212-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* liblzma-dev: Remove unneeded .la file.
* xz-utils: Dynamically link the xz binary.
* Do not waste time installing and running doxygen on buildds that
are not going to build arch-all packages.
Build-Depends-Indep: doxygen. Closes: #540444.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100212-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Split off xzdec and lzmadec commands into new xzdec package.
Thanks to Guillem Jover for the idea. Closes: #571060.
* xz-utils.NEWS: advertise this change.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100212-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit eb7d51a3f.
- xz --force compresses symlinks without complaint now.
- liblzma: the optimized CRC32 implementation for x86 no longer
misdetects the Hurd as Mac OS X.
* debian/rules: ./configure --enable-assembler on the Hurd.
* xz-utils: Simplify NEWS.Debian.gz.
* liblzma-dev: Add a NEWS file to keep track of future API changes.
.
* Drop unnecessary build-time conflict with autoconf2.13.
* Add a blank line to the end of all NEWS files.
(Works around: #247356)
* debian/README.source: Leave out “-I -i” options. Ignoring version
control cruft is the default behavior with dpkg source format 3.0.
* debian/changelog.upstream.sh: Pass ‘git log’ an explicit --format
option to avoid problems if format.pretty is set in gitconfig.
.
* Correct the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry. It said:
+ The user-specified memory usage limit was not being honored in
some cases.
No such bug was observed, so describe the change instead.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100131-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit f9dd797a.
+ xz: the --list option to display information about a compressed
file (e.g., its uncompressed size) is now functional. The output
of the xz --robot --list command still may change in future
versions.
* xz-utils: NEWS.Debian.gz: Clarify how interleaved output can
go wrong.
* debian/rules: Simplify:
- remove support for comma as a delimiter for $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS).
- rely on dh --parallel instead of tricky logic of our own to
handle parallel builds. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.10).
* Correct some typos in the 4.999.9beta+20100117-1 changelog entry.
* Standards-Version: 3.8.4 (checked).
* Update copyright file.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20100117-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit 07a11dad.
+ Fix some logic errors in the internal memory usage configuration
API.
+ xz will no longer compress or decompress special files in place,
even with --force.
--force still enables compression of the target of a symlink.
+ xz will no longer read compressed data from a terminal or write
it to a terminal, even with --force.
+ liblzma: many Index handling API improvements:
- An lzma_index includes more useful metadata that is not
actually from the Index. This is particularly helpful for
describing multiple-stream files.
* lzma_index_cat() does not take a stream padding argument
any more; use lzma_index_stream_padding() instead.
* lzma_index_memusage() takes two arguments now.
The new lzma_index_memused() convenience function
calculates the total memory usage of an lzma_index.
* lzma_index_count() has been replaced with
lzma_index_block_count() and lzma_index_stream_count().
* The new lzma_index_stream_flags() allows storing Stream
Flags (e.g., checksum types) with the Index information.
* The new lzma_index_checks() function indicates the list of
checksum types in use.
* lzma_index_equal() has been removed. Its semantics were
unclear, and something approximately equivalent can be
implemented by iterating over Blocks in application code.
- An lzma_index no longer represents a position within an Index.
The new lzma_index_iter type can be used for that purpose.
* Certain functions generate an iterator on demand now rather
than clobbering their lzma_index arguments. Using a single
lzma_index for multiple concurrent invocations is safe now:
lzma_index_buffer_encode(), lzma_index_encoder()
* Functions that used to specify a Record by modifying an
lzma_index argument have been renamed and taught to write
an lzma_index_iter instead:
lzma_index_locate() -> lzma_index_iter_locate()
lzma_index_rewind() -> lzma_index_iter_rewind()
lzma_index_read() -> lzma_index_iter_next()
* The lzma_index_record type used by lzma_index_read() for
complex seeks is no more. lzma_index_iter_next() instead
takes a parameter of the new lzma_index_iter_mode type.
* New function: lzma_index_iter_init()
* lzma_index_init() cannot reuse memory from an existing
lzma_index any more. The signature changed accordingly.
+ xz: support for decompressing to a sparse file
- Try to write a sparse file if the decompressed stream contains
long runs of null bytes.
- The new --no-sparse option disables this behavior.
+ xz: add Czech translation.
+ liblzma-dev: lzma_filters_copy() and lzma_filters_update() are
declared not to throw exceptions.
* liblzma: bump soname.
* xz-utils: Add NEWS.Debian describing the sparse file support.
* debian/rules: Stop explicitly disabling assembler optimizations on
the Hurd. The configure script will check if a platform is
supported.
.
* debian/rules: Update clean target to handle comments and wildcards
in .gitignore.
* Build-Depends: perl.
.
* debian/rules: Speed up build by using autoreconf --symlink.
* Remove debian/dirs lists.
* Update copyright file and fix a small typo.
.
xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
+ liblzma: add some new functions:
- lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
- lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
- lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
+ Fix a design error in liblzma API.
- Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
compression. The library used to read it for new compression
options. Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
use lzma_filters_update() instead.
- Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
+ xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
read the memory usage limit.
* liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
differs from upstream.
* Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
* Update and clarify copyright file.
