What's supported, what's not
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
This port corresponds to libarchive-2.8.3. The following formats supported
|
|
by libarchive are NOT supported in the port:
|
|
1) iso9660
|
|
2) various variants of cpio
|
|
|
|
In addition though xz and lzma are included, due to the lack of
|
|
liblzma and xz utilities on Minix they are of not much use. Of the remaining
|
|
formats I know that tar and its variants (tar.gz, tar.bz2 etc) work.

Notes on the port
|
|
-----------------
|
|
The cause for all changes is the fact that ACK does not have a 64 bit types.
|
|
Most of the changes are 'downsizing' of types from 64 bits to 32 bits.
|
|
Also a signed type is used for the measuring sizes so nothing > 2GB will work.
|
|
|
|
Most of the changes are repetitive and can be classified into two types:
|
|
|
|
1) Changing sizes/offsets/timestamps from 64bit types to size_t, ssize_t, off_t
|
|
time_t
|
|
2) Changing functions that either decode or encode sizes/offsets/timestamps
|
|
from or to archives to use 32 bit types.
