xarchiver puppy 4.0 +

#1 Post by ttuuxxx »

Well in the 4.2 development I wanted something to Unzip and tar.bz2 file, The default pupzip has problems with this format, it can take over 1hr for a large file so I asked around and forum member Aitch recommend me to try a few other programs and on his list was xarchiver, Oh My God is this ever good for file formats, Plus I altered this version to use puppys mime's files so it just a matter of point and click :)
There are tons of new file formats that now can be opened and extracted
rpm bzip tar jar xpi and many more

Plus I took Sir Duncan's 2 pet packages for rar and 7zip and made them work with xarchiver they are both addons that you can download below.

enjoy :)

Added updated unRar and also Rar archiving now you can make Rar packages, but if you just want to UnRar or open a Rar package, just use the smaller unRar pet.

Excellent, I can now open multipart rar archives that have part numbers only (foo.part1, foo.part2 etc) which for some reason neither archiver would open.

Thanks.

Your welcome, for the size of it you can't get anything quicker or smaller. I really like how quick it opens large tar.bz2 files, where xarchive would take an hour like Firefox sources, this xarchiver takes like 2 mins. :)

XArchiver and extensions

#9 Post by Hugh »

ttuuxxx,

This is almost like the feeling one gets when one strikes
a goldmine!!

Many, many thanks for this!!

My main pup now is 412RMediaPup and I'm hoping XArchiver
will install as an adjunct to XArchive which is already present.

Opinions and/or advice will be gratefully accepted...

I usually just use xarchiver for everything, this other package I made for 4.2 replaces xarchive/pupzip with xarchiver http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... Zip-v5.pet
and if you need even more than this, then theres peazip, which is also really good, but a lot larger.
it can be found in the software thread.

XArchiver pet

#11 Post by Hugh »

ttuuxxx,

Thanks for this too! I'll try this first as a matter of fact.

I mainly need the ability to deal with .rar files in addition
to all the other wrappers XArchive did.

Very good! Once again ttuuxxx to the rescue!

yes I know the feeling :) I needed to open rar files in the past and I had to use peazip, but its always been so large I was really happy I found this alternative :) Its a shame peazip is so big now, I also like pzip a lot. It can extract more format but its 5852 KB pet, thats lik 10X the size http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=16358
also still haven't found anything small to extract txz files yet.

Note that the debian etch package of 4.0 works out the box on puppy 2.xx for anyone who wants it.

It seems the speed difference is that xarchive uses scripts so therefore awk and such to view/extract archives but that gives versatality eg opening debs and rpms and pets and pups (lots of animals in there)

pupzip is just a wrapper...perhaps it could be modifed to select xarchive or xarchiver as fitting...oh I've just given myself a good idea :D

Hi mike that above package replaces xarchive with xarchiver using pupzip, I already did that for 4.2 :)

I was suggesting pupzip open xarchiver for such as tar.gx, gzip2 etc but open xarchive for deb, rpm, pet , pup since xarchiver cannot handle these...or is that what you meant?

I meant If you install the the ibiblio package posted above, it contains a modified pupzip that uses xarchiver and not xarchive, so pupzip still works as usual, xarchiver does open deb/rpm, it extract them into 2 targ.gz files, then you have to extract the data.tar.gz only, probably needs some sort of wrapper to automatically extract it. So its a 2 step process, extract the deb and then extract the data.tar.gz file.
The files xarchiver can't handle is the new format that slackware is using for there up and coming release, They are using a .txz here's an example file. http://packages.slackware.it/package.ph ... i486-3.txz

If you do a package search at http://packages.slackware.it/
and select "Slackware-current" they are all txz packages, but if you select any of the previous ones like 12.2, 12.1, 12.0 etc they are all tar.gz.

Ya but a few months ago when I discovered that, it wasn't very clear on how to actually extract those packages, I said to myself oh well, lol someone else will figure it out, lol well that was like 3 months back or so and still haven't read anything that a quick fix has been made, I might have to actually look into it :)

Hi ttuuxxx

Can you let me which packages I need to download/install to create 'RAR & Zip' archives from the list of packages you have attached to your 1st post?

Thanks :)
