[svn] Make dtrx -v print *something*.
paulv wants it to act like tar -v. I'm not yet convinced this is a good

to have it be silent.
dtrx Installation Documentation =============================== Requirements ------------ dtrx will work out of the box with Python_ 2.4 or greater. You can also use Python 2.3 if you separately install the `subprocess module`_. .. _Python: http://www.python.org/ .. _`subprocess module`: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/popen5/ dtrx calls out to different external tools to support different archive types. Most of these are already installed on most GNU/Linux systems, so you probably won't have to worry about these too much, but just for completeness, the exact requirements for each format are as follows: tar archives tar zip archives unzip, zipinfo cpio archives cpio rpm archives rpm2cpio, cpio deb archives ar, tar, zcat gem archives tar, zcat 7z archives 7z Microsoft Cabinet archives cabextract Files compressed with gzip or compress zcat Files compressed with bzip2 bzcat Files compressed with lzma lzcat Installation ------------ dtrx is just a simple script, making it easy to stash wherever you need it. Just copy ``scripts/dtrx`` to a location that's convenient for you. If you'd like to install the program system-wide, you can run the following as root or equivalent:: python setup.py install
