The "use_xz" directive was added on trunk, just like the previous "use_lzma" and "use_bzip2" already in. It will use a distfile with .xar.xz instead of tar.gz, and needs the XZ Utils installed to decompress that.
Since before, you can also use both xz and lzma to make package archives. This is done by changing the portarchivetype from the default "tgz" to use "txz", or you can use more than one (to compare the sizes) portarchivemode yes portarchivetype tgz,txz The "sha256" digest was also added to Pextlib, as a future alternative to the SHA-1/RMD-160 combo. It's longer than those (32 instead of 20), but smaller than needing to have both of them (=40). It's not yet available for the portfiles, until a policy decision has been made on which checksums to use for distfiles. Additionally "size" might be useful to have, instead of distcheck.check=filesize ? # The list of the types of checksums we know. set checksum_types "md5 sha1 rmd160" --anders _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
