[pacman-dev] Fwd: [Arch Linux] patch for bacman from pacman-contrib package

[Allan McRae]

Forwarding to the pacman-dev list.

I'd prefer some copying of the code we use in makepkg to decide how to 
compress a package based on PKGEXT.

originally, bacman doesn't catch up with current  .pkg.tar.xz package format
it produces a package named according /etc/makepkg.conf (e.g. *.pkg.tar.xz)
but it fact it created a .gz format instead of xz

Package : pacman-contrib (version 3.4.0-1)
Component: /usr/bin/bacman    (version 0.2.1)
