BINPKG_COMPRESS controls how a bin pkg is compressed. qmerge (more apps too?) just assumes it is bzip2 and will fail if it isn't. qmerge could support whatever busybox tar support: BINPKG_COMPRESS="" # no compression BINPKG_COMPRESS="gzip" BINPKG_COMPRESS="bzip2" BINPKG_COMPRESS="xz"
Any thougts?
If that var is stored in the xpak metadata, then we can access it. I hope it is, in other words. Or does the filename change?
I do not know if there is a variable stored somewhere but you can look at magic bytes to identify compression method. Much like gnu tar does, you do not have tell gnu tar how it is compressed. Pity busybox cannot do that(yet anyway). The filename does NOT change.
Would you perhaps have an example binpkg for me?
(In reply to Fabian Groffen from comment #4) > Would you perhaps have an example binpkg for me? Well, not ATM. I am travelling for about 10 days more and no access. Should be easy to create thoug: BINPKG_COMPRESS="" ebuild path/to/ebuild package
