Many people have graciously sent me configuration files, small programs that use libarchive, and other useful and interesting tidbits. I do not support or use any of these; but if you can use them, enjoy! ====================================================================== From: Andre Stechert libarchive_autodetect-st_lib_archive.m4 M4 macros for use with autoconf to detect whether a suitable version of libarchive is installed on this system. ====================================================================== libarchive.spec An RPM ".spec" file for building libarchive on most systems. This apparently was originally developed by a group at pld-linux.org. Several people have sent me different versions of this file. ====================================================================== From: Robert Meier libarchive.1aix53.spec As above, for use on AIX5.3. ====================================================================== psota-benchmark Some scripts used by Jan Psota in benchmarking various tar implementations. I've edited his results slightly to correctly reflect that bsdtar does not support a "compare" operation. ====================================================================== shar A simple shar program written on top of libarchive. ====================================================================== untar.c A very simple and very portable standalone program that can extract basic ustar archives. This does not use libarchive and so can be used to extract the libarchive distribution on any system that has a C compiler but does not have a tar program. ======================================================================
