I guess that would be why. I, too, assumed we had an actively maintained Linux port, but if the maintainer isn't doing much these days, a version closer to upstream would be great.

The 7zip author by his own admission does not use Linux, though, so I'd be curious if p7zip might actually be more performant on Linux.

It works but it's fork of 5yo code base and upstream had several releases in the meantime
