-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2010-2629 2010-04-19 22:52:24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pbzip2 Product : Fedora EPEL 4 Version : 1.1.1 Release : 1.el4 URL : http://www.compression.ca/pbzip2/ Summary : Parallel implementation of bzip2 Description : PBZIP2 is a parallel implementation of the bzip2 block-sorting file compressor that uses pthreads and achieves near-linear speedup on SMP machines. The output of this version is fully compatible with bzip2 v1.0.2 or newer (ie: anything compressed with pbzip2 can be decompressed with bzip2).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Changes in 1.1.1 (Apr 17, 2010) - Modified decompression to use low-level libbz2 API to improve performance of long bzip2 streams of large single-stream bzip2 blocks - This release should now decompress files created with bzip2 at least as fast as bzip2 or slightly faster - Handle decompression of long bzip2 streams incrementally instead of loading whole stream in memory at once - Fixed issue in safe_cond_timed_wait which caused segmentation fault when compiled in DEBUG mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update pbzip2' 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. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
