File Roller is an archive manager for the GNOME2 environment. This means
that you can:
- Create and modify archives.
- View the content of an archive.
- View a file contained in the archive.
- Extract files from the archive.
Supported file types include: .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.Z,
.tar.lzo, .zip, .jar, .ear, .war, .lzh and .rar.
Provided in PR pkg/19592 by Juan RP with some changes by me. Reviewed by wiz.
Major changes since 1.4.1:
- printf() now correctly handles %X vs. %x on 64 bit machines
Removed a 20 year old local extension that became non-portable.
- new 'librmt', which may be used by any external program like e.g.
dump/restore to improve cross platform compatibility.
- librmt now allows the use of ssh(1) for remote tape access.
- smt benefits from librmt and now gives platform independent
'mt status' output in remote mode.
- New option -wready for smt.
- Better man page for 'rmt'.
- Handle a seek error problem in create mode correctly when checking
for reading past max possible file size on non-large file OS.
- Correctly propagate write/read errors from FIFO to star.
- Add support for SIGINFO (*BSD) as a courtesy to BSD users.
- Do not open /dev/tty if a newvolume script is present.
This allows the use of star from cron scripts.
- Fixed a bug in the ACL handling code on Linux that caused star to
recognize ACL comments as ACL entries and include them in the archive.
- Work around to allow star to read ACL enhanced archives that
include bogus entries that really were ACL comments created by
the bug above.

author). While we're at it, upgrade to version 0.93, and add a manpage
for grepjar, which is now part of this package.
Changes since 0.90:
Improved support for other Unix platforms.
Now works on Solaris, AIX, True 64, and HP-UX.
Hopefully resolved all big endian problems.
Fixed bug in update which caused it to skip
openning update file
Changs since 0.92:
Integrated GNU gcc patches to mainline fastjar
codebase. Should compile on more platforms.
Ignore nutty errors.
collection as archivers/parchive.
The idea behind parchive is to provide a tool to apply the data-recovery
capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and recovery of
multi-part archives on Usenet. Current filespec and clients support the
'Reed-Soloman Code' implementation that allows for recovery of any 'X'
volumes for 'X' parity volumes present.
as archivers/lbrate.
lbrate extracts/decompresses files from the CP/M LBR format. (It can also list
and test such archives.) It does this in an `unzip'-like manner, mostly hiding
the details of individually compressed and renamed files, and transparently
dealing with the required decompression/renaming.

archivers/xpk.
This package is a UNIX port of the Amiga XPK library.
The XPK system consists of a master library (libxpkmaster.so) and several
(un)packer sub-libraries (libxpkXXXX.so). Application programs only use the
master library directly: the master library takes care of loading and using
the sub-libraries. Each sub-library implements one type of compression.
There are different libraries for different types of data. When unpacking the
applications do not need to know which library was used to pack the data -
the appropriate library needs to be installed.
From the FreeBSD ports collection.
as archivers/arj.
This package is a GPL implementation of ARJ v2.7x for DOS on UNIX and
UNIX-like systems. It is assumed that the user is familiar with ARJ
operation on DOS before using this package.
New ARJ features on UNIX and UNIX-like platforms:
- Support for symbolic and hard links
- Archiving of special entities: pipes and devices
- Support for UID/GID storage in a variety of methods
- World's smallest native self-extracting modules
- Outstanding interoperability with ARJ for DOS, Windows and OS/2 Warp
From the FreeBSD port collections (with several changes by me).
Pointed out by Jeremy C. Reed (reed at reedmedia dot net) in
PR pkg/19170. Modification: assume that anything that calls itself
*BSD can deal with this flag instead of just dealing with Linux.
(Please check on Darwin and adjust.)
Summary of changes (see NEWS and Changelog from the distribution for details):
- don't allow absolute paths, and path containing ../
* New option --overwrite-dir
* New option --recursion (the default) that is the inverse of --no-recursion.
* New options --anchored, --ignore-case, --wildcards,
--wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these options control how
exclude patterns are interpreted.
* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
--no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
* The --no-recursion option now affects extraction too.
* New options --no-same-owner, --no-same-permissions.
* New option -y or --bzip2 for bzip2 compression, by popular request.
as archivers/libcomprex.
The libcomprex library transparently handles automatic compression and
decompression of files. The API is similar to C's built-in file access
functions, which provides a smooth transition to libcomprex.
libcomprex can also open uncompressed files, making it a good
replacement for the native file access functions.
libcomprex is part of the GNUpdate project.
libcomprex is currently in development (so should not be used in
stable products).
archivers/makeself.
makeself is a (very small) shell script that makes neat
self-extracting shell scripts, and allows you to specify a "setup"
command to execute upon finishing. This is in a similar concept to
Windows winzip self-extracting archives.
Noticed in the FreeBSD ports collection.
archivers/9e.
9e is a program to explore Plan9 archives. You can do whatever you
like with the source so long as you clearly indicate all modifications
and the author responsible for each.
Converted from the FreeBSD ports collection.
