Bug Description

Binary package hint: p7zip

To allow the creation of windows auto-extractable file under
linux the libary 7z.sfx is missing in the package.

Since (our) windows users do not like to install
the 7zip tool I have to distribute auto-extractable archives.

TODO

1) Extract 7z.sfx from the windows distribution or
sources. Target dir :

root@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# cp 7z.sfx /usr/lib/p7zip/
root@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# chmod 755 7z.sfx
root@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# chown root:root 7z.sfx

2) usage and test:

root@leo7:/usr/lib/p7zip# 7z a -sfx7z.sfx "pingpong.exe" *

This package is currently being sync'd straight from Debian without any Ubuntu-specific changes. Your best bet is to ask the Debian maintainer preferably via the Debian bug tracker to add the requested GUI.
