atool for Debian ----------------- Unrar: The /etc/atool.conf provided by debian set an option for using rar instead of using unrar (use_rar_for_unpack). This is because upstream atool can use another unrar software, which is packaged in debian as unrar-nonfree (in section non-free), but not unrar (in section main). (unrar in main does only support v2 rar-format, unrar-nonfree supports v3). If you really want to use unrar-nonfree, please deactivate this option in /etc/atool.conf. Be aware, ___ this will break ___ rar archives support if you install unrar instead of unrar-nonfree. -- Stephane Jourdois <kwisatz@rubis.org> Multi-core CPUs: If you using a machine with more than one CPU core, you should install the pbzip2 (Parallel bzip2) package to speed up bzip2 compression/decompression. To enable support for this program in atool, you will need to add the following to your ~/.atoolrc: use_pbzip2 1 use_tar_bzip2_option 0 Alternatively, you could install the lbzip2 package and set the following in your ~/.atoolrc: path_bzip2 lbzip2 -- Francois Marier <francois@debian.org> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:37:26 +1200
