For libarchive to support lzma/xz natively, we would need liblzma in core as well. Thoughts?
Sure its only a few KB. Even the complete lzma-utils package would be only 75KB.
Anyway: Would it be better to use (successor) xz instead? Or ist the file format somehow compatible?
However: I think its a good idea to build libarchive with support for lzma/xz. Other tools (afaik KDE 4.3) will make use if this then, too.
Does lzma-utils need to be a dep or is an opt-dep fine? That would make the whole discussion moot... Anyway, I fine with bringing this to [core]. It would be bad to disable features just because of the arbitary bounary between [core] and [extra]. Allan
