Description Holger Hoffstätte 2009-11-26 20:14:32 UTC

app-arch/pigz (http://zlib.net/pigz) is a multithreaded gzip implementation. I have fixed two bugs that prevented it from acting as a full replacement for gzip (also see bug#264258). Both of these fixes have been accepted by upstream.

Do you have a link about upstream inclusion of your patches?

No, only brief email replies from Mark Adler saying "Thanks, I'll apply". There does not appear to be a public repository either.

Revbumped with the attached patches and took maintainer-ship of pigz. Thanks a lot!
