Project mention: The XZ attack and timeline | dev.to | 2024-04-17

29. October 2021 At this point Jia Tan pops up, and the first thing we see from him is an innocuous patch to the xz repository, and while a lot of people believe he started out trying his luck with another library also known as libarchive, this is not the case, I would bet it’s more of a backup looking at the dates, being that there are a few days in between as shown in this commit.

p7zip

13 735 0.0 C

A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).

Project mention: Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) | /r/linux | 2023-04-20

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.

libun7zip

1 11 1.8 C

A library that provides 7-Zip (.7z) archive handling and extraction on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita
