Description of problem: There might be a off by one error in the 7zip code (I think...not sure). In the file p7zip_4.39/7zip/Archive/7z/7zHeader.cpp it says: Byte kSignature[kSignatureSize] = {'7' + 1, 'z', 0xBC, 0xAF, 0x27, 0x1C}; but doesn't this make the header of a 7zip package start with "8" instead of "7"? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.39.1.fc5 How reproducible: n/a Steps to Reproduce: 1. n/a 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This kind of bug report would be much better sent upstream, as the developers know the code much better than we do, and could probably confirm in no time. I'd really appreciate if you made the report and got back to this bug entry with a patch if needed...
Maybe a fix would be to rename the package 8zip, then? :-) I've updated the FC devel package to 4.42. I'll close this bug for now, please report the (potential) problem upstream so that it gets fixed there. The I'll update the package and get the fix in that way, thanks.
Well, it does generate correct headers, so I think it is just some unclear coding, but it eventually gets fixed. I will dig into this someday. You can leave it closed for now :)
