I've been working on an interface to several archive formats. Currently, I
have .ar, .cpio(binary and compat) and .tar(sysv, gnu, posix). I've used it
to make a .deb with pure java code, and then install it with dpkg.
I'm currently adding .cab support.
The present implementation is in java, but I plan on porting to perl/python/c
when I get the right amount of features done.
I don't consider a format implemented, until I have both reading and writing
done, AND test cases for it.
The name of this project is Altar(Abstract Library To ARchives). It's not yet
released.
