glaucus

libarchive

  • Depdends on queue.h
  • --without-xml2 disables libxml2 (glaucus uses expat instead)
  • nettle is disabled by default
  • glaucus uses cpio from toybox
  • Is expat a run time dependency?
  • bsdcpio is much faster compared to regular cpio
  • bsdcpio is as fast as rust 3cpio and toybox cpio
  • bsdtar -p implies --acl --xattrs, it also only works in x mode
  • Prefer --no-same-owner
  • Avoid --no-same-permissions?
  • Avoid --numeric-owner
  • Prefer bsdunzip over unmaintained Info-ZIP unzip
