I had been planning to wait to upload xz-utils to sid until dpkg gets liblzma support in experimental, but I didn’t know how long it would take then. Probably it’s best to just bite the bullet and request a sponsor today. I sent some patches on 29 Sep (with some problems) to add xz support to dpkg-deb and dpkg-source. See Bug#542160. They seem not to have made it to the list --- maybe there’s an attachment size limit. I’ll send a cleaned up series today to look at, rebased on top of your change. Thanks for starting to take this on. Sincerely, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
