[gentoo-dev] Adding app-arch/xz-utils to the system set

Hello.

Given the increased use of lzma compressed files, including on portage
snapshots, I'd like to add app-arch/xz-utils to the system set.
We already have a few bugs about requiring xz-utils such as
347557[1] and 305127[2].

 [1] - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347557
 [2] - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305127

Can anyone think of any reason "not" to do it?

On that note i sent zac proof of concept patch that made repoman whine
when ebuild was using some compression yet was not depending on the
proper pkg.

I wonder where i put that thing so i could finish it up :)
(yes i know most ebuilds does not do so but they should :P)

The same argument can be used to add app-arch/unzip to the system set.
~106 packages do not DEPEND on app-arch/unzip while using a zip file.

I think the missing dependency problem should be fixed by a repoman
patch.

The two bugs in the OP weren't PM-can-not-unpack-the-sources problems.

Following Jeremy's reply earlier today[1], I've just went through and
added xz-utils to the system set.

 [1] - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/69661

I did so because Portage snapshots are already being offered as lzma
archives and releng might start building stages as lzma archives too.
