Bug 768546 – app-arch/bzip2-1.0.8-r1: stable request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Michael 2021-02-03 18:05:27 UTC]

The current stable bzip2 version 1.0.6 is from a decade ago.  The 1.0.8 ebuild has been in testing for almost a year now.  Can it be stabilized?

[Comment 1 Edgar Dragon 2021-02-15 15:11:20 UTC]

Second this.

Got a .bz2 that 2010 couldn't decompress. But busybox and 2019 bzip could,
md5sums of outputs matched. The 2010 could decompress a gcc-9 though.

PS: gcc only -02 -ggdb3 flags used, but considering old kernels fail compile
on gcc-8, and I'm gcc-9 that's a thought.

Using file:

```
https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-rm/10-2020q4/gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2
0cc79529934703e16ec25a8915028897  gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2
```

Newer version:

```
$ :|bzip2 -V |& head -1
bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.8, 13-Jul-2019.
$ bzip2 -kdc gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2 | md5sum
f8dcfb67824f050a8bd185528a17518d  -
$ busybox bzip2 -kdc gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2 | md5sum
f8dcfb67824f050a8bd185528a17518d  -
```

"Stable" version:

```
$ :|bzip2 -V |& head -1
bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010.
$ bzip2 -kdc gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2 | md5sum

bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
	Input file = gcc-arm-none-eabi-10-2020-q4-major-src.tar.bz2, output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
