I'm a regular user of UExtract but sometimes get a bit frustrated with the time it takes to sync at the end of the extraction. What's that for and is there a way to speed that up?

Thanks,

Hey Slavvo67

Yes, syncing after extraction was a bad and odd idea, that's why it's been removed long ago (v3.7, 01 Feb 2015).
So, the best way to get rid of it is to just upgrade to the latest.
Or, if you don't want to, find the line with sync command in uextract script in /usr/local/apps/UExtract(/bin) and delete it.

Version 3.28:

- fix: removed spaces from "MimeType" line in UExtract.desktop (thanks to Step)
- can handle AppImages that use 'SquashFS' instead of 'ISO' format
- new formats/extensions:

• .br (Brotli Compressed File) [bro]
• .dz (Dictzip Compressed File) [g(un)zip]
• .fcstd (FreeCAD Document) [unzip|7z]

First post updated!

Btw, I removed the changelog from the first post, because it takes too much space.
It's still available in the package itself, though.

Hi SFR.

There's no end to these file extensions, is there?

Many thanks. BFN.

[SFR]

I don't even deliberately search for them anymore, they're just finding me.

Speaking of which, in v3.28 we have nice and round:

Code: Select all

# uextract -f | grep '^\.' | wc -l
512
# 

supported extensions.

Greetings!

When I tried to extract a RPM package while in the fatdog 710 distro
using uextract I got the error --->
'exploderpm' not found

When I checked ---> rpm2tgz-1.2.2-x86_64-1|rpm2tgz is installed instead

_____________________________________________________

To make a package in fatdog linux there is simple command in fatdog...
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dist ... ckage.html

Step 3 - Making a package out of loose files
Let's say you have already collected all the files, with the correct hierachy, in a directory called "/tmp/xxx" (using one of the methods in step 2). That is, your new application "abiword" binary has been placed in "/tmp/xxx/usr/bin/abiword", its desktop menu file is located in "/tmp/xxx/usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop", its icon in "/tmp/xxx/usr/share/pixmaps/abiword.png", etc.

Then to make the package, all you need to do is run makepkg like this:

cd /tmp/xxx
makepkg -c n -l n /path/to/where/you/want/to/keep/the/package-version-x86_64-num.txz

'exploderpm' not found

UExtract tries to extract an RPM in 4 ways, using:
1. rpm2cpio + cpio,
2. rpm2cpio + (un)xz + cpio,
3. exploderpm,
4. 7z + cpio.

Did the first 2 methods fail?
Fatdog does not come with exploderpm script OOTB, but you can get it from src2pkg (it's a part of it) or directly from Woof-CE.

Some recent RPM's are using the 7z signature, instead of xz's.

From exploderpm:
# VERSION 0.3 Gilbert Ashley <amigo@ibiblio.org>
# Added support for newer fedora rpm archives which use 7z instead of xz
# Thanks to Jakub Szefer for finding and reporting this problem

The relative decompress command is:
"]"*|?"7z"*) dd if="$pkg" ibs=$o skip=1 2>/dev/null | unxz | cpio --quiet -ivdm ;;

The still older signature for lzma(2) was:
fda8a
echo -en '\0fd\037\07a\058\05a\000

Only the latest rpm2cpio may have this support and I am unsure whether busybox rpm2cpio does that

[don570]

I retested uextract after rebooting my machine and it worked
fine this time.

I think I must have damaged something when I tried to compile the
latest gimp 2.8.22

And what about adding Zstandard for .zst extensions, we are using it in T2 and it's fast and small.

Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios. It offers a very wide range of compression / speed trade-off, while being backed by a very fast decoder. It also offers a special mode for small data, called dictionary compression, and can also create dictionaries from a sample set.

Hey Scsijon

I've already added it (along with Lizard), will be in v3.29.

[later]

Version 3.29:
- removed 'rpm2cpio+(un)xz+cpio' method, because I haven't seen a single RPM that could be extracted using this routine
- skips zero-byte files automatically
- new formats/extensions:

• .liz (Lizard Compressed File) [lizard]
• .zst (Zstandard Compressed File) [zstd]

First post updated!

Greetings!

[scsijon]

And many thank you's, I shall download and test.

EDIT: OOPS, my bad, forgot to tell you it also has a working .tzst extension (equals .tar.zst) as well as the normal zst, sorry.

[SFR]

No worries, here you go:

Version 3.30:
- new formats/extensions:

• .tar.zst, .tzst (Zstandard Compressed Tar Archive) [zstd+tar]

SFR,

Been a long time since I said it, but UExtract is the very....and I mean very....first thing I put into any pup and/or pup-related build if it doesn't already have it. Thank you for this.....I pretty much can't live without it. I get annoyed when I am in "other, big" linux distros and I don't have UExtract. So, I try to install it in those too, after extracting it, moving some things around directory-wise, then chrooting it all, sometimes it works great At a minimum, in the puppy world, this utility should be a standard install in all Woof-CE & woof builds. It's just great. Again, thanks so much.
