Description Arniii 2024-06-18 13:43:04 UTC

since `lzip` is single threaded, and `plzip` is multithreaded, it would be cool to set `plzip`. But, it's not possible: `lzip` is set to be supported and `plzip `is set to to be not supported by portage.

If just set ` BINPKG_COMPRESS="plzip" `, it gives at an `emerge`:
```
!!! BINPKG_COMPRESS contains invalid or unsupported compression method: plzip
```

with ` BINPKG_COMPRESS="lzip" ` portage works, but compression is singlethreaded, thus slow.
