I can't see why one would not want to use it. bzed@think /tmp % mkdir foo bzed@think /tmp % touch foo/bar bzed@think /tmp % tar cvfz foo1.tar.gz foo foo/ foo/bar bzed@think /tmp % tar cvfz foo2.tar.gz foo foo/ foo/bar bzed@think /tmp % md5sum foo*.tar.gz daae33f08d992cd29cb2040d4709bc32 foo1.tar.gz ab9be3584f38ffe4791a33bf25ed5cfc foo2.tar.gz bzed@think /tmp % gunzip foo*.tar.gz bzed@think /tmp % md5sum foo*.tar dfbf1eec4f1a73686fc5bac4d5f82725 foo1.tar dfbf1eec4f1a73686fc5bac4d5f82725 foo2.tar bzed@think /tmp % lzip foo*.tar bzed@think /tmp % md5sum foo*.tar.lz 84393a8d1883f250e44ab66410c0f462 foo1.tar.lz 84393a8d1883f250e44ab66410c0f462 foo2.tar.lz lzip indeed does what you'd like to have, but imho it is much easier for you (and with you I mean the openstack people) to use pristine-tar instead of trying to implement lzip support in dpkg, dak and friends... -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
