Description Nikos Chantziaras 2012-07-13 08:26:32 UTC
Newest upstream is lrzip-0.614. Portage is at 0.611.
Comment 1 Fabio Scaccabarozzi 2012-07-15 08:42:33 UTC
I can confirm that simply bumping the 0.611 ebuild works perfectly with GCC 4.7.1.

Side note: the current stable ebuild is 0.44, which is around from 31st of December 2009. Many fixes have been integrated since then (especially 32/64bit bugfixes for various runtime errors and SMP/algorithms speedups) and 0.600 has been a massive rewrite. According to the README-NOT-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE file shipped with the package 0.6x versions can properly read (but not write) older files, thus you may want to stabilize a newer version (like 0.611, which seems relatively stable to me).

0.612 is the best stable candidate.  But it's also not in portage.

Is there any reason not to go for 0.614 as next stable?

Upstream notes:

"lrzip 0.612 has been out in the wild for a while now and the good news is that there have been very few bug reports in that time."

However, 0.614 is actually just a bugfix release, so I suppose it's a good stable candidate.
