Hi.
Hello Sergei,
I'd like to ask if there are any plans to include support of tar.xz packages in upcoming releases of pkgutils? Just like Archlinux did http://www.archlinux.org/news/490/. Thanks.
This was already discussed a bit, see [1]. Having packages compressed with xz make sense if you distribute binary packages like arch does, but not for sources-based distro like CRUX. IMO it's not acceptable if every user has to wait a factor of 16 longer until pkgmk has compressed the package. regards Juergen [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.crux.devel/2117 -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
