Hello,
Wieman, Karl wrote:
We can, of course, change our processes to exclude .gz files from
processing but I think the original behavior was correct. I would
have prefferred that the fix to the previous bug was implemented as a
separate flag rather than "enhancing" the already existing '-f'
functionality.
FWIW, lzip 1.12-rc1[1] implements a new option to fix this.
[1] http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lzip-bug/2011-03/msg00003.html
"The option "-F, --recompress", which forces recompression of files
whose name already has the ".lz" or ".tlz" suffix, has been added."
And the output of "lzip -h" is:
-f, --force overwrite existing output files
-F, --recompress force recompression of compressed files
Maybe it would be useful to implement an option like this in gzip also.
Best regards,
Antonio.
