Re: [arch-dev-public] request: xz-utils into core

Does xz-utils still support all lzma archives? A brief reading claims it is a new format, but I don't know about backwards compat.

I think I overlooked this question, but since this thread has been reactivated, I can happily answer now: It *is* backward compatible. That is, xz-utils can uncompress files in the old lzma format, so it can be considered a replacement of lzma-utils. (The new xz format has a different header structure, and uses a different container.) When xz-utils hits extra, I will remove lzma-utils. I believe xz-utils also provides unlzma as a symlink to unxz.
