Please use 7z. p7zip is only the wrapper to handle plain 7z archives. I disagree. Then the p7zip documentation is wrong. This is a real bug, the 'p7zip' wrapper is meant to operate like e.g. gzip for use with tar and other utilities. At the moment, the man page is wrong. However, it looks like the script is just being lazy, and could be modified to support other extensions: case "${file}" in *.7z) if [ -f "${file}" ] ; then # It handles 7z here... ;; *) echo "$0: ${file}: unknown suffix" exit 1 ;; esac It's upstream, either way. Thanks for reporting upstream. |
