I think we could just put xz-utils into testing (replacing and providing lzma- utils) and rebuild libarchive with xz support. If itsstable enough we could move it to core and a new version of pacman could have xz enabled by default in makepkg.conf. New packages will then be compressed with xz. There is no need to rebuild the whole repo. As Thomas suggested we just need to make sure that a gz version of pacman, libarchive, xz-utils and the db files remains available for some time. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx WWW http://www.archlinux.de
