It's a pain in the ass for Release Engineering, too. At this point, we're looking into how we need to modify the bootstrap sequence to accommodate people using lzma for system (and lower) packages. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220074 We're already getting reports of this due to someone deciding that it'd be a good idea to use lzma for our daily portage snapshots without any discussion here. Luckily, we still have the other tarballs to use, too. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Games Developer
