This is actually a re-ITP. I posted p7zip-4.47-1 last year
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-06/msg00046.html
but it kinda died without a yes/no after some issues with using
non-standard cygport mods, so nobody could give it a GTG.
Contrary to my message here:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2008-03/msg00101.html
it was NOT an issue with votes -- because p7zip is a normal component of
the Debian distribution, so needs no votes. Just a GTG -- which it
didn't get last year.
So, having been reminded of this issue by the message earlier today, I
updated my local build -- using *standard* features of the new
cygport-3.8. It still has the rather odd structure imposed by the
upstream folks:
== /usr/bin/7z ==
#! /bin/sh
/usr/lib/p7zip/7z "$@"
etc, but the other issues mentioned
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2007-06/msg00048.html
have been fixed.
