magic definition #8

Closed szepeviktor closed 10 years ago

szepeviktor commented 10 years ago

Could you add magic definition http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?magic+5 something like

# snzip - Snappy ZIP
0 string SNZ
1 byte 1 snzip compressed data

to add to /etc/magic

and mime type application/x-sz

IMO, the SNZ format is obsolete. I have no will to add the magic definition. I submitted a patch to add snappy framing format to the file command used by open source OSes instead. http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=340

Do you mean there's a solution for e.g. Debian? I've found only a lib https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libsnappy1 that cannot be used to create a file. I'd like to create snappy compressed tar files.

What issue do yo have? I thought that you had requested to add tar usage to README.md by issue #7. If you want to use snzip, install snzip by yourself. There are no snzip deb packages. If you have another issue, open a new issue.

No issues here. I'd like just to have a debian package for snappy zip/tar.
