[Lzip-bug] Lzip and File-roller

[Bruno Miguel]

Hello

I saw a mention to Lzip in Linux-Libre mailing-list and decided to give it a 
try in my Debian Testing system. I donwloaded the source and compiled it 
successfully, as you can see:

lunix-bruno:/usr/src/lzip-1.5# ./configure --prefix=/usr
creating config.status
creating Makefile     
VPATH = .             
prefix = /usr         
exec_prefix = $(prefix)
bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin
datadir = $(prefix)/share  
infodir = $(datadir)/info  
mandir = $(datadir)/man    
sysconfdir = $(prefix)/etc 
CC = gcc                   
CXX = g++                  
CPPFLAGS =                 
CFLAGS = -Wall -W -O2      
CXXFLAGS = -Wall -W -O2    
LDFLAGS =                  
OK. Now you can run make.

install -p -m 755 ./lzip /usr/bin/lzip

I thought lzip would automagically integrate with file-roller, the gnome 
utility for compressing and decompressing files, but it didn't. That is 
probably not the intended behaviour, but could it be done? If so, how?
