[VFS] Tar Archiver
Hello,
I am a big fan of the commons VFS and commons compress libraries. I
use them a lot of work and have been real time savers. Having dug
through the code of commons compress, I noticed a big "TODO" comment
about the TarInputStream#skip() method. I have corrected the issue
and the performance boost, as measured on my machine, is exceptional.
Please consider adding it and publishing it ASAP.

What else needs to be done on the COMPRESS library to get it ready for
a new release?
Thanks.

Beluga,
Whatever you and Stefan get resolved for Ant, he will then port over to
Commons [compress], being the primary maintainer of both sets of archiver
code. ;)

I plan to look into your patch over the weekend.

We've started to implement 7z and in a branch even LZMA support. I'm
not sure whether Damjan want's to extend what we already have but in an
ideal world there'd be a XZ for Java release so we can merge the branch
and deal with "normal" 7z archives and read LZMA standalone files.
