Summary

0004268: Pigz Sol8 Workaround for threads causes failures when symlinked as /usr/bin/gzip

Description

One of the nice features about PIGZ is the ability to be a drop-in replacement for /usr/bin/gzip and get the multi-threading without changing every script that ultimately referenced GZIP (perhaps through a GTAR -Z function). However this workaround for Sol8 causes problems when I invoke /usr/bin/gzip, I get this error:

/usr/bin/gzip: /usr/bin/../libexec/gzip: not found

Additional Information

Based on what I can see, you try to reuse the same script for pigz and unpigz to support Sol8. If you really want to maintain Sol8 compatibility in this script, I would suggest that you replace the "/usr/bin/basename $0" section of this script with some case statement that handles the pigz/gzip unpigz/gunzip names.

Alternatively, you could just create symlinks like
ln -s /opt/csw/libexec/pigz /opt/csw/libexec/gzip
ln -s /opt/csw/libexec/unpigz /opt/csw/libexec/gunzip

I would say symlinks so the relationship is obvious to the casual observer.

I would even say that /opt/csw/libexec/unpigz should be a symlink of /opt/csw/libexec/pigz
