Which leads me to the question: Shouldn't we require xz in the configure script of ptxdist and drop host-xz? Currently host-xz is only selected when KERNEL_XZ is set (which means the kernel compression) but not when some package is compressed which xz. Currently that packages are the kernel, strace, networkmanager, systemd and libkmod. Regards, Bernhard -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
