#2974: Many packages now available as .tar.xz
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rafe | Owner: lfs-book@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.1
Component: Book | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords: xz packages
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
With xz now part of the requirements it makes sense to use it.
I checked for most LFS packages and found these
all available in .tar.xz ( and texinfo in .lzma - works correctly with
"tar xf pkg.tar.lzma" )

The LFS "home" packages could also be repacked, i.e.
iana-etc & kbd-1.15.2 & bootscripts & module-init-tools & udev
