As for the cat: You went from "ar -p %s %s%s|%s -c|tar -x" to "ar -p %s %s%s|%s|tar -x". I guess you could have moved the pipe into the output of decompression_tool as well and do "ar -p %s %s%s%s|tar -x" with "|gunzip -c", "|unxz -c", and "". But then I think your approach is clear to readers, so that's good. ;-) I pushed your patches to the repository. Very much thanks for them. Kind regards Philipp Kern
