Shawn WebbDear #Linux Distributions,
Please switch to #BSDTar by default. It's the archive Swiss Army Knife, able to read many, many additional file formats thanks to #libarchive.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk,
Jesus Michał "Le Sigh" 🏔 (he)Random #Gentoo moaning for today:
1. #LibArchive started failing its tests (and #BSDCPIO and #BSDTar started being verbose) because #LRZip decided to repurpose the `-q` option. Previously, it silenced all the verbose output it defaults to, now you actually need to pass `-Q` to silence it.

2. #Git 2.43.2 broke #PkgCheck since `git log` apparently no longer accepts `--no-find-copies`.
`test_extract_tar_lrz` fails due to verbose output from lrzip 0.650+ · Issue #2069 · libarchive/libarchive
When running the test suite with lrzip 0.651 installed, I'm getting the following test failures: 7: test_extract_tar_lrz FAIL 6: test_extract_cpio_lrz FAIL The detailed logs suggest that the proble...
Jezus Michał "Le Wzdych" (on)Przypadkowe narzekanie z krainy #Gentoo na dziś:
1. Testy w #LibArchive zaczęły się sypać (a #BSDCPIO oraz #BSDTar nagle zaczęły śmiecić wyjście), bo #LRZip postanowił zmienić przeznaczenie opcji `-q`. Przedtem wyłączała zupełnie szczegółowe informacje na wyjściu, które LRZip domyślnie rzuca, a teraz trzeba podawać `-Q`, żeby zupełnie wyciszyć.

2. #Git 2.43.2 zepsuł #PkgCheck, bo `git log` przestał akceptować `--no-find-copies`.

joschiTIL `bsdtar` (for example in macOS) supports reading ZIP archives and doing so via stdin in contrast to the standard `unzip` utility:
```
# tar --version
bsdtar 3.5.3 - libarchive 3.5.3 zlib/1.2.11 liblzma/5.0.5 bz2lib/1.0.8
# file test.zip
test.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract, compression method=store
# cat test.zip | tar -tv
-rw-rw-r-- 0 501 20 0 Jul 26 08:18 test
```
#tar #bsdtar #cli #zip
```
# tar --version
bsdtar 3.5.3 - libarchive 3.5.3 zlib/1.2.11 liblzma/5.0.5 bz2lib/1.0.8
# file test.zip

# cat test.zip | tar -tv

#tar #bsdtar #cli #zip
s�dI must admit how surprising some software can bring somebody joy. #bsdtar is one of those
* support for most archive standards
* allows decompressing on-the fly
* curl .zip | bsdtar xvf -
