Michal, the only problem I can see is that xz might not be available for old distributions, so the buildservice might have a problem building for them? But this could be worked around.
Please note that a number of problems have been found in quilt with regards to handling of xz-compressed files (most notably in the inspect script used by "quilt setup", but not only.) While all known issues are believed to be addressed upstream and in Factory by now, this is not the case for released openSUSE distributions (let alone SLE.) This may not be a key decision factor, but rather something to keep in mind if we decide to switch to xz. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
