Fedora EPEL 6 Update: pigz-2.2.4-1.el6

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2012-0767 2012-03-15 19:35:52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : pigz Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 2.2.4 Release : 1.el6 URL : http://www.zlib.net/pigz/ Summary : Parallel implementation of gzip Description : pigz, which stands for parallel implementation of gzip, is a fully functional replacement for gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: New upstream release: * Improve the portability of printing the off_t type * Fix bug in zip (-K) output * Remove thread portability #defines in pigz.c Quote from the upstream release announcement: "If you are using -K, you should update immediately, since the bug that was fixed in 2.2.3 would prevent using the resulting zip files with most zip utilities. (You can use pigz to extract the ones you have already made with 2.2.3. pigz uses a different approach to decode zip files than most zip utilities that is insensitive to the result of pigz 2.2.3 with -K.)" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update pigz' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora EPEL GPG key.
