The LZMA Utils program follows the usual command line syntax for a Unix compressor, in agreement with compress/gzip/bzip2. I think this is the right way to go, and more importantly, I expect the Linux herd to move into that direction. GNU tar already includes support for lzma and it expects the one from LZMA Utils. > Maybe, instead of marking the ports as mutually incompatible, one of them > could be modified to install executables under different names?.. Sure. The question is, which program do people expect when they type "lzma" and which one should be renamed? -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
