gunzip format support

Open arnos opened this issue 11 years ago • 6 comments

Would it be possible to enable gunzip support for the tar.Z format

as per https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ltib/2010-08/msg00002.html

Is there a package that supports this that can be installed with opkg? Otherwise I'll have to explore to see if this option is available in the buildroot used to produce this base image.

I looked for a package but it doesn't seem to exist as gunzip config happens at the buildroot.

I would be glad to see this implemented as well

+1. I tried the opkg route as well, but it does appear to be a buildroot option.

BusyBox seam to have added the common compression options to tar fairly recently, and are in the next version. It would be very nice to upgrade the base image to reflect this, (and other improvements).
