Following Jeremy's reply earlier today[1], I've just went through and added xz-utils to the system set. [1] - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/69661 I did so because Portage snapshots are already being offered as lzma archives and releng might start building stages as lzma archives too. - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections / RelEng -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNbkU5AAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPNDUP/jRqCLoGcDC/zZnQBNLGGXKm 47FhtzfjsWcggSYBqMYZ//tMBpjnflWGIiHP+xQ0GLl/VCkjpgs2KBU1KQWmUGbg 8OYeP0lj7a9/sW+JEBD0aXoEa4vEMKBIZjpvfnsttbFW294D/qQAc+GSBVB8FN8H YTfSUrEQR8gDOC4sxFx4Ad1/sC30MLJ/YKDF9G1syCKXyTBwoeL1s98FPXlIki6u tsP8eMybkl4OoA4XsRIxg9ckC4UULhatF46MEVQ6kveob1vcoaZqir6q8VR/Y7SQ fLp7Lo4rAt1Spg7/kzMpSLlE4GwEIR5FL29Hy/5CrIe8hmLZB9m8jvxJX0lrHebE Js4IoUblJ8GBDoxBKKVFB4ilN7uN5hm5GmsQ8HmgZYRL8EouVt+uXCb3lQVngDWy UqlnamBowtng0VrYvcEQRsVcXch4rD5aiYgP/s5Rvd2qPKorKU4vNlgfYgdOrVNF THCL35on2vWW0XZVDFxujQojmzqcpXb+ha7xdu9kkULJzHJgn119cuTEaJx3XPzp yYmTJFOuYmBDu5sGY5/qsjo/FPgM20nfgiWb7S+4azLppflprj8prJ75D/uV6Ig7 qzduthyS4u7ylNQ32Pt0jWlSHXjRk96WdD6yNIbp01DVne3q3klpSn3VscP06T/e QAauc5SBuZgvs2//ECrA =xYSK -END PGP SIGNATURE-

[1] - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347557 [2] - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305127 Can anyone think of any reason "not" to do it? Well, the interesting bit of info is that the wider developer community maybe already assumes it to be in the system set. *OR* can't be bothered to remember that it is NOT in the system set. The data to back up this statement is in https://bugs.gentoo.org/349315 in which ~20 packages are discovered to be missing the build time dep. So, after 30 days on the mailing list..now does anyone have a reason to not do it? The benefits are obvious in my opinion and they all lead to a better user experience which should be the main goal. The drawbacks are slim, which include but are not limited to, a larger system set [by one package]. Let's add it to improve the situation in general. Thanks, -Jeremy
