Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

LZMA2 library for ESP32
Is there any LZMA2 library for ESP32 to decompress XZ file format? I've found minlzma, but will it work in ESP32?

Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster)
nearly every main distro I am aware of has both available. The reason you still see p7zip is because the CLI incompatibilities vs the newer 7z/7zip executables and the general licensing issues. Most users of "old p7zip" are actually using the actively maintained https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip which is updated, supporting unix permissions and zstd and so on.

7-zip 22.00 – APFS, Posix TAR, high precision timestamps
Thank you for pointing this out! This is the source of much confusion. Although Arch for example uses https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip which seems to be reasonably maintained?
- Ark and 7-zip

Replace p7zip with upstream 7-Zip
Then you can compile p7zip from source: $ mkdir p7zip-git $ cd p7zip-git $ git clone https://github.com/jinfeihan57/p7zip .
- Don't Use RAR
- TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
- I can't compress in 7zip with Ark and p7zip

will arch replace p7zip with normal 7-zip?
April 4th was the latest release. Had some commits in May. I think it is active.

Why is 7z so outdated?
I think the point is, the '7z' at 17.04 available in Arch Linux's repo is actually p7zip, the development of which is independent of 7-zip. So comparison of the version number is meaningless (if I am right). Also, p7zip 17.04 is released in April this year, not 2017, according to its release page
