Version 1.8-1 of "lzip" has been uploaded.


lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm with a
user interface similar to gzip or bzip2. It supports recovery from
damaged archives.

Apparently this was up-loaded only to /release-2/ (1.7).  The
announcement says nothing about this being a 1.7-only package.  If it
was meant to also be a 1.5 package, please upload it to /release/.

Sorry, I have failed to mention it as being a 1.7 only package for now. I do not currently have Cygwin 1.5 installed. I will try to get a Cygwin 1.5 build in a few days.

Jon,


Please don't feel that you have to prepare a 1.5 package for me.  I just
wanted to be sure that a mistake hadn't been made.

I've never used lzip and just wanted to try it.  I'm switching to 1.7
when it will be officially released and can try lzip then.

Hi,
IMO, Cygwin 1.5 is nearly deprecated. For completeness, lzip for Cygwin 1.5 should be up on the mirrors by now.
