xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20091116-1 source package in Debian

Changelog

xz-utils (4.999.9beta+20091116-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream snapshot, taken from upstream commit d315ca4.
     + liblzma: add some new functions:
        - lzma_filters_copy() to copy a filter chain;
        - lzma_filters_update() to change compression options mid-stream;
        - lzma_physmem() to retrieve the total quantity of installed RAM.
     + Fix a design error in liblzma API.
        - Stop requiring caller to maintain filter chain during
          compression.  The library used to read it for new compression
          options.  Callers that need to change options mid-stream should
          use lzma_filters_update() instead.
        - Remove 'persistent' member from struct lzma_options_lzma.
     + xz: add --robot --info-memory options, for front-ends to use to
       read the memory usage limit.
  * liblzma: bump soname; add README.Debian explaining why soname
    differs from upstream.
  * Use source format 3.0 (quilt).
  * Update and clarify copyright file.
