Hello,

I am the package maintainer of ddrescue in Gentoo.

The release of ddrescue-1.17 only has an lzip compressed tarball
availabe but older releases were also available as gzip compressed
tarballs.
As it is common for Gentoo users to compile packages on their Gentoo
machines we now have to make sure they have lzip installed just to get
ddrescue-1.17 source tarball uncompressed which seems to be a bit of
overkill.

So I'd like to kindly request continuation of providing gzip compressed
source tarballs. Could that be feasible?

Thanks and kind regards
Lars Wendler
