This simple patch allows us to slowly migrate to xz compressed packages.
Yes, it's really that easy when we assume that all new packages have to be xz compressed. So once this is applied and online everybody has to set the new PKGEXT in his makepkg.conf I didn't alter the db file compression as this would obiously everything as this is hard coded in pacman. Compressing the sources with xz (or compressing them at all) is not worth it as they usually include already compressed files from upstream. pacman and devtools are already prepared for handling xz compression. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
