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/).
Doesn't p7zip handle lzma archives?
No. p7zip uses the lzma algorithm to generate its own format. Files compressed with lzma cannot be decompressed with 7z.
