Completely untested since I haven't had a chance to really look at this
yet, but I think it may be as simple adding to:
echo Extracting the package tarball, $tarball, please wait...
if [ ${tarball%gz} != $tarball ] ; then
action tar --gzip -x -f $tarball
elif [ ${tarball%bz2} != $tarball ] ; then
action action tar --bzip2 -x -f $tarball
else
echo Unknown compression method, $tarball
exit 1
fi
in /usr/share/modass/packages/generic.sh the additional stanza:
elif [ ${tarball%xz} != $tarball ] ; then
action tar --xz -x -f $tarball
(although I'm not sure why the bzip2 case repeats action twice) and then
at:
for suf in .tar.bz2 .tar.gz .tgz ; do
adding .tar.xz.
