Bug ID: 1260911
Summary: Review Request: pixz - Parallel indexed xz compressor
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Assignee: nob...@fedoraproject.org
Reporter: i...@cicku.me
QA Contact: extras...@fedoraproject.org
CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org
Spec URL: http://cicku.me/pixz.spec
SRPM URL: http://cicku.me/pixz-1.0.3-1.fc24.src.rpm
Description: Pixz (pronounced pixie) is a parallel, indexing version of xz.
** pixz vs xz
The existing XZ Utils provide great compression in the .xz file format, but
they produce just one big block of compressed data. Pixz instead produces a
collection of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data
possible. This is especially useful for large tarballs.
** Differences to xz
* Automatically indexes tarballs during compression.
* Supports parallel decompression, which xz does not.
* Defaults to using all available CPU cores, while xz defaults to using only
one core.
* Provides -i and -o command line options to specify input and output file.
