Or is the tool called "xz"? xz is the new format name as well as the new program name. The LZMA -> XZ format change was big enough that it seemed best to have a new tool name (though it was a close call, and there was a lot of debate ;-), in spite of the trouble it causes to users. However, note that xz can uncompress .lzma files. -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
