config AR
bool "ar"

help
ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on

extraction.
2003-08-22 21:15:07 +00:00
2002-12-06 22:40:54 +00:00
The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
see long filename support).
ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
modify them.
2003-08-22 21:15:07 +00:00
On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.
Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
probably say N here.

help
2002-12-06 22:40:54 +00:00
By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the
filename, this option removes that limitation.
It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

help
bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.

cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and extract
contents from archives.
cpio has 110 bytes of overheads for every stored file.

This reduces dpkg-deb to the equivalent of "ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx".
However it saves space as none of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are
2002-12-06 22:40:54 +00:00
