Now you are going to far! Nobody hijacked the thread, and when it was my mistake. Due to the running thread about an decompressor bug I hooked in and tried to push somewhat an older announcement from Antonio about lzip. This started this horrible discussion, as far as I know. I do not want to go further here. Denys said no. I sill like to (quickly) have a better compressor statically linked into the Busybox binary. At least until an xz compressor for Busybox is available. I accept Denys decision, but like to ask Antonio to further provide patches to add lzip compressor/decompressor to Busybox. That way those people who like, may add lzip to there Busybox. The only thing I want to request from Denys is a link from Busybox web site to Antonios site where he provides the patches (tiny utilities section?). To have a known starting location, in case someone loses the link to Anonios site. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
