7zr file archiver with high compression ratio

p7zip is the Unix command-line port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that handles the 7z format which features very high compression ratios.

p7zip provides:

 - /usr/bin/7zr
   a standalone minimal version of the 7-zip tool that only handles
   7z, LZMA and XZ archives. 7z compression is 30-50% better than ZIP
   compression.
 - /usr/bin/p7zip
   a gzip-like wrapper around 7zr.

p7zip can be used with popular compression interfaces (such as File Roller or Nautilus).

Another package, p7zip-full, provides 7z and 7za which support more compression formats.
