In Redhat and Fedora lzma is available: Available Packages Name : lzma Arch : i586 Version : 4.32.7 Release : 2.fc11 Size : 91 k Repo : fedora Summary : LZMA utils URL : http://tukaani.org/lzma/ License : GPLv2+ Description: LZMA provides very high compression ratio and fast decompression. The : core of the LZMA utils is Igor Pavlov's LZMA SDK containing the actual : LZMA encoder/decoder. LZMA utils add a few scripts which provide : gzip-like command line interface and a couple of other LZMA related : tools. On my Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 systems the command lzma is there via xz-lzma-compat [r...@paix sage]# yum info "xz* [r...@paix sage]# yum info "xz-*" Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages Name : xz Arch : i586 Version : 4.999.9 Release : 0.1.beta.20091007git.fc11 Size : 455 k Repo : installed From repo : updates Summary : LZMA compression utilities URL : http://tukaani.org/xz/ License : LGPLv2+ Description: XZ Utils are an attempt to make LZMA compression easy to use on free (as in : freedom) operating systems. This is achieved by providing tools and libraries : which are similar to use than the equivalents of the most popular existing : compression algorithms. : : LZMA is a general purpose compression algorithm designed by Igor Pavlov as : part of 7-Zip. It provides high compression ratio while keeping the : decompression speed fast.
