So the repo above is git-dpm for now. I kept liblzma-make-dlopen-based-liblzma2-compatibility-opt.patch liblzma-skip-ABI-incompatible-check-when-liblzma.so.patch but I think that we shouldn't worry about liblzma2 since it is long gone. Anyway, it is there. The current changelog: | * switch to git-dpm for packaging (closes: #540405) | * New Upstream (closes: #731634) | - no more "xzless error in line 49" (closes: #693537) | - xzgrep -h works (closes: #780268) | * update symbol file Jonathan, how do you want things to be handled from here? I open to whatever works for you as I want, I want to see this new xz finally in upstable :) I built pixz against it and the internal testsuite passed. I checked out all pristine-tar files from clamav (in the xz format) and the checkout worked. > Regards, > Jonathan Sebastian

Does anyone still plan to do it? It's been a really long time since the new parallelized version came out. Hillel.

The latest version supports both multithreaded compression and decompression which is very valuable and can save a lot of time when using with huge files. Are there any plans to package this. This feature was out last year and it's still not in Debian. Thanks.

As an alternative workaround while we wait, note that the pixz package provides multithreading. -- Mark

Mostly because the other bug merged (#777267) was already important, and severities need to match when merging. My interest in the new version is the threaded compression support - with dpkg now using liblzma as backend this should save considerable amount of time currently spent waiting building big -dbg packages etc. Riku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks for the quick answers. I'd like to get this done in a coming weekend (perhaps this one, perhaps in a couple of weeks). I also don't mind if someone else takes care of it for me and sends patches. ;-) Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
