I had tried with several packages and found they were all XZ-compressed, but I just tried with ~6000 packages and saw that only 90% are XZ-compressed, so this wouldn't work. I also don't know of any packages we might want to use are only shipped the .deb format. > We normally try to not clutter the package infra with features only > useful to one package, especially when the feature can easily be > implemented at the package level. Yeah, I agree. I'll drop this and revert back to custom extract commands. -- Guido Mart?nez, VanguardiaSur www.vanguardiasur.com.ar
