Description Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2020-05-05 10:20:42 UTC

I'm not 100% sure whether this is due to FEATURES="binpkg-multi-instance" or is a difference in internal code, but recently building binpkgs manually for a catalyst run, I have .tbz2 archives created instead of xpak's. Is the generation code standardised for binpkg creation between 'emerge --buildpkg' and 'ebuild package' or is this something controlled by the 'binpkg-multi-instance' FEATURE option?

I believe a simple rename works, but I see elsewhere there could be a missing trailer.

Tangentially, I was wondering where potential Zstd archive support may be, but I will likely open a separate bug and link it also to #629538 .

I'd say this is going to be obsolete for gpkg.
