I am pleased to announce the release of the lzip patch for kmod-29.
This patch adds lzip decompression support to kmod.
The patched kmod requires lzlib to compile:

You may also need to pass the following options to configure:
./configure --with-lzlib lzlib_LIBS=-llz lzlib_CFLAGS=-llz
The patch can be downloaded from
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/kernel/kmod-29_lzip-0.diff.lz

Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, lzip author and maintainer.
