Hi Hilton,

I agree with Ludo' and also wonder if a generic ‘url-fetch/compressed-file’ wouldn't be better. There are closure arguments to be made for this xz-only approach. I don't know if they're convincing. Cluebats welcome.

(I was going to bring up ‘url-fetch/tarbomb’ as an example, but it doesn't actually handle anything besides gzip! Madness.)

Why set this kluge…

+                            (invoke (string-append #+xz "/bin/unxz")
+                                    #$file-name)

…when we have full control over xz's arguments?

Kind regards,
