Hi everyone,
The TeXLive project is considering using the lzma format instead of bz2 for its next release, and I wondered whether it is supported by makepkg. It is not, as I expected. But to my suprise, there is not even a PKGBUILD for it in AUR/unsupported! I have thus just uploaded lzma-utils to [community]. In case some of you are interested, it is said to achieve 15% better compression rates than bzip2 while being 2 to 5 times faster. And decompression is nearly as fast as gunzip (see http://tukaani.org/lzma/).
Regards, François
PS: A quick question: I have built a x86_64 package on Aaron's machine. What should I do to upload and commit it to the repo? Just "communitypkg" ?
No. You have to change the port in .tupkg first. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Uploading_pa... Be sure to not confuse ports for i686 and x86_64! -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
