Comment:
I think this should be considered seriously for inclusion, even for 6.5
because,
- the .xz format is now a standard [1]
- many of the gnu packages use it already (coreutils), and I believe it's
a choice based to the
fact that it looks that it's the better (right now) technology (various
benchmarks proved that
fact)
- LZMA-utilities package is now obsolete and is not under active
development and quite probably no-one is using it anymore
So, I am reopening the ticket, but I am setting the priority to low
though, as there is no real urgency. However William, if you really want
xz utils into the Book, you should contribute a patch instead of spamming
Track and mailing lists.
