deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange permissions. Dozens of archive file extensions are supported out of the box, and adding support for others requires very little work. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: For extracting RPM archives, rpm2cpio from the official rpm package is now used, when available. The $always_into_subdir variable was added, used in the rpm and deb extractor wrappers, which causes the contents of archive.foo to always be put into a new archive/ directory (even if archive.foo contains only a single entry at its top level). Archives containing very many files are extracted a little faster.
