Upcoming Changes

Version 1.1

More robust handling of de/compression process (handling SIGPIPE).

By default files are now pre-sorted by size before placed into chunks.
Add option to NOT pre-sort files by size.

Version 1.0

First release.

Features:

  • Can specify any command as de/compressor when archiving.
    • The commands must accept file data in stdin and output processed data to stdout.
  • Can specify any command as decompressor when extracting to override the simple-archive's stored decompressor.
  • Archives/compresses into chunks to reduce overhead by compressing per chunk instead of per file.
  • Chunk size can be tweaked by a parameter setting.
  • Can archive without de/compressor to be compressed separately.
  • Supports pre-version-1 simple archiver file format (version 0).
  • Archives regular files and symlinks.
  • Keeps track of files and symlink permissions.
  • Keeps track of file UID and GID (only set if extracting as root).
  • Can be set to ignore absolute paths for symlinks by parameter setting.
