Well, kind of. This port uses the original sources released recently by 7-Zip author.
p7zip is based on old 7-Zip sources adapted to build on posix systems [1].
It was abandoned, the last release is from 2016 and is known to have open
vulnerabilities [2]. There is a fork of p7zip [3], which is used by some distros,
however it lags far behind original 7-Zip.
