Description Fligg 2010-12-02 13:35:07 UTC

Gentoo Mirrors are now providing Portage Snapshots as .tar.LZMA files, however there is no ability to de-compress them on the liveCD.

Request for xz or lzma to be provided on the liveCD please.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from liveCD
2. Go to Gentoo Mirror and download the portage-latest.tar.lzma
3. Realise you have no way of extracting the file.

Actual Results:  
Causes confusion, especially in IRC.

I've added app-arch/xz-utils to the amd64, x86 installcd specs so it should show up when we get new cds.

I'm leaving the bug open until then.

PS - If anyone is interested on getting this for other arches, please let us know.

This should be fixed now.
