Description Mike Auty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2021-04-21 09:05:53 UTC

There's an upstream bug (https://bugs.astron.com/view.php?id=257) where XZ compression is incorrectly detected as application/octet-stream (the default) rather than application/x-xz.  This has been resolved upstream in HEAD (and the commit is at https://github.com/file/file/commit/9b0459afab309a82aa4e46f73a4e50dd641f3d39) but currently breaks compression detection.
