Description Aniruddha 2007-03-19 19:11:29 UTC

I searched for and 7-zip capable extractor and found only one. Through the forums I learned that xarchiver also supports 7-zip. I think it would be an improvement to add all supported archives to the description of archive managers.

Reproducible: Always

I've added longdescription to metadata.xml, but unfortunately there is no search tools yet making use of this. Anyway, it's too long for DESCRIPTION.

<longdescription>Archive manager for 7zip, arj, bzip2, gzip,
        iso, rar, lha, deb, rpm, tar and zip formats.</longdescription>

Hey thanks for the quick reply! Is there a way to make this visible in the package database? http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=xarchiver. And I bet they are working on a search tool for longdescription :)
