Bug 284233 – app-arch/libarchive-2.7.1: Version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matthias Schwarzott 2009-09-09 07:27:45 UTC]

A new version of libarchive is available. It can be downloaded from the new homepage, address is http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/. This should also be changed in old ebuilds.

This version can use liblzma from xz-utils.

Created attachment 203564 [details, diff]
libarchive-2.7.1 ebuild changes

Changes to ebuild:
remove patches (they both are included upstream)
switch to using liblzma (and depend on xz-utils instead of lzma-utils)

The only strange thing is: compiling with USE=-lzma disables liblzma support, but bsdtar is still linked against liblzma.
 
EDIT: libarchive-2.7.0 does also support liblzma, but a version bump is a good point to switch over.

Hmm there is a lot of packages still depending on lzma-utils.

libarchive now depending on xz-utils which blocks lzma-utils

So there is unresolvable block now in tree, isn't it?

I have to use libarchive -lzma or remove about 30 packages which depends only on lzma-utils not || (xz-utils || lzma-utils).
