Hi,
I'd like to finalize the move of pkgutils to libarchive, and make
another pkgutils release soonish.
* libarchive's 2.0 branch has been stable since ~February
* it works well for me
* libarchive is very well maintained:
bugs/patches get fixed/included immediately (I found one minor bug in
libarchive last week).
* there's no notable difference in size of pkgadd or in terms of speed
of pkgadd
* adding support for bzip2'ed packages is trivial and just requires a
one line diff in pkgmk (just in case we want to offer that feature)
The main reason I send this mail is to ask for any last minute
objections to this. I remember Simone had some doubts about the
performance, but I don't see any problems wrt to that.
Regards,
Tilman
