Package: tar Version: 1.22-2 Severity: wishlist tar supports several compression formats (compress, gzip, bzip2, lzop, lzma, xz), but not lzip, which is currently used by GMP tarballs[*] (and as the only format for the snapshots) for instance.
[*] http://gmplib.org/#DOWNLOAD ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/snapshot/ Support for lzip should be added, like for the other formats. Once this is done, the tar package should suggest lzip. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tar depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib tar recommends no packages.
