Description Rebecca Menessec 2010-02-11 18:02:46 UTC

Now that some upstream code (see: ghostscript-gpl) is distributing code in tar.xz format and various other bits of Gentoo (logrotate, man / man-pages) support or can easily be made to support xz / xz-utils, adding support to Portage seems sensible and should require minimal effort.

Reproducible: Always

It supports it, but you need to set EAPI=3 at the top of the ebuild.
