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.
Not that important but you also need to adopt the package you uploaded. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15625 Greg
