Description : 7-Zip file archiver
7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio.
The main features of 7-Zip
* High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
* Supported formats:

* For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is
2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
* Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
* Powerful command line version
note: "p7zip-full" package provides full-featured, but older 7-Zip archiver.
This "7zip" package provides stand-alone style archiver only, but
newer 7-Zip archiver.
"7zip" package is in "non-free" section because "unRAR" code is not
compatible with DFSG.
Current packaging state is held on https://salsa.debian.org/yokota/7zip .
目前在 Linux 上提供 7zip 的项目 p7zip 自从2016年起没有更新，而且目前没有人成功地联系到原作者。
p7zip 有一个活跃的分叉
然而，仅仅有少数分发（Arch Linux, OpenMandriva, Mageia and ALT Linux ）切换到该分叉，多数分发（包括Debian GNU/Linux）都没有切换到该分叉。
所以，我们可能会在 Linux 上看到竞争的两个 7zip 实现。 Debian 中会发生什么事情是不确定的，p7zip 包可能会切换到新上游，或者被移除。
