I was going to respond to this thread and say we should keep a small subset of packages in tar.gz format for things like this. Most of them happen to be mine, but: * pacman * libarchive * libfetch * zlib ? * glibc ? * bash ?
+1. At some point pacman is going to need a glibc update to work and not being able to install glibc because it's a xz is an issue. We should probably add a versioned glibc to pacman's depends so someone doesn't end up upgrading pacman and not being able to run it because glibc didn't get updated as well.

+1 to everything here. Will it work if we set PKGEXT in the PKGBUILD itself with a comment so that it overrides makepkg.conf?
