Beware that the p7zip command you run is *not* "p7zip", but actually "7za".

Also be careful that the self-extracting executable that 7za creates with the -sfx option
is, by default, a Linux binary matching the bitness of your system and certainly
can't be passed onto WIndows users! There are ways to get a Windows self-extracting
executable using Linux 7za, but it's [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/forums/forum/383044/topic/1343048]messy[/url].

The disadvantage of p7zip is mainly that poor old Windows users can't unpack 7z
archives without installing 7-Zip on Windows of course. Yes, you can use 7za to create
zip archives via the -tzip option, but that's what the zip utility is for :)

Not quite that easy. One must first have either EPEL or RPMforge repo configured.
