Thanks, You are missing the documentation for PKGEXT to add the ".tar.lz". Otherwise the patch is fine. Submit a revision and I will apply it. As an aside, I see no advantage of this format over xz for packaging. Corruption detection is done with signatures/checksums, with essentially zero need to recover from it. Also, for all packages I tested, lz was slower on both compression and extraction of packages, and resulted in larger packages (it compresses text well, but not binaries). Allan
