Dear Sergey, fist of all many thanks for contributing such great and important software to the community!
I am wondering if there are any plans to support the LGPL 7-Zip compression format besides the already supported compress, gzip and bzip2 formats. >From my point of view it is already very stable and useful, i.e. the Wikipedia database is downloadable in the 7z format since a few weeks. I believe that the acceptance would grow even faster if GNU tar would support a 7z archive filter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Download http://download.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-zip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P7zip Best regards, René Leonhardt -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch?
