This is really great news. I wrote a Python program that takes advantage of p7zip to be able to compress and decompress large amounts of data. You can read about it here:

It is going to be sweet to have that on the N900. I will test it as soon as I get a chance. I just wonder why it is still in devel and not even in testing. Any one knows?

Edit: (I sent a PM to the developer. He should know. )
