Bug ID: 60350
Summary: Support xz compression in Ant Core
Product: Ant
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
xz compression is getting more and more popular, especially .tar.xz archives
are becoming standard in favour of .tar.gz archives (i.e. in deb packages).
It's time to include xz compression in ant core as first class citizen (and not
via extra antlibs).
Various enhancements that would be really nice:
* tar task should support xz compression (in addition to gzip and bzip2)
* xzresource similar to gzipresource and bzip2resource
* xz/unxz tasks similar to the GZip/BZip2/GUnzip/BUnzip2 tasks
All of this can be done the compression antlib, but it'd be really nice if that
was in the core. Especially support in the core tar task, because using the
other tar task from ant-compress is a bit inconvenient.
