What to do with xz?

[Zbigniew Luszpinski]

Hello,

I solved the problem of unwelcome xz in the following way:
I added to DETAILS XZSOURCE and XZSOURCE_VFY - you can see this in recent aria2 commit.
Soon I will post here an optional patch which will make use of these new variables.

The Revolutionists will have a chance to start using xz:
+enjoying smaller files,
+enjoying faster downloads,
+proving that xz is present in more places than Conservatists think,
+being proud Lunar is innovative and on cutting edge of IT development.

The Conservatists will be happy:
+knowing they are safe from xz enemy.
+knowing they do not have to do anything to keep Lunar as it was before.
+the xz/lzma tarball will appear only together with module version update. (I hope the other xz fans will behave the same).
+the quietness will come back to ML :)

The Liberalists will be happy:
+there is another optional choice for them with rollback option.

I will be happy:
+my zlocal will be smaller == easier to maintain == less time wasted == more time for real Lunar development.

The Extremists will not benefit from this because they always build from repos. :)
If you are another group I forgot to make happy let me know - I will find a yet better solution :)

further mails will be shorter, I promise :)
