  Description     : Indexing utility for tar archives

tarix is a program for indexing tar archives so that selective extraction
can be done rapidly, especially on slow devices like tape drives, providing
that you can seek to arbitrary locations (at least on 512 byte boundaries)
within the tar archive.
.
Tarix is designed to work as a compression filter for tar with the
--use-compress-program option.  Tarix can either pass the tar archive
straight through, or it can compress the archive using zlib on the way
through.  Note that tarix does special things when using zlib to enable
random access when extracting.
.
Tarix's index file format is geared for simplicity and ease of use in
a recovery situation.  For those reasons, it is a simple text format.
Using tarix's indexes requires only grep, sed, dd, and tar for basic usage.
tarix itself can use the index for fast extraction without convoluted usage
of grep, sed, and dd.

The Sourceforge URL says that "Tarix has moved to github", so I don't
think that link is relevant anymore.

Hi,

Yes, I am aware of it. I mentioned both these links mostly for
completeness (e.g., someone could have downloaded this software from
Sourceforge before).

Are you interested in this software? I was doing some more tests with
this utility and I think I have found a bug in it. By any chance, have
you used it with large tar archives (~200 GB)?

The software seems pretty interesting, but I haven't heard of it until
your ITP, sorry.  I would also like to have it in the repositories,
nevertheless.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging tarix. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of tarix from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging tarix, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 725712 ITP: tarix -- Indexing utility for tar archives
 owner 725712 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <725712@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
