[Lzip-bug] lzip status display and use of lzlib

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi!


the xz compressor provides a status display updated every second with 
the progress of the compress operation when using -vv

$ xz -7vv *.tar
linux-3.9.4.tar (1/1)
  0.9 %      840.1 KiB / 4504.0 KiB = 0.187                   0:02             

Could something similar be implemented in lzip and plzip?


Also, plzip currently makes use of lzlib, but lzip(-1.14) does not. Are 
there plans to make lzip use the library as well?


thanks,
Jan
