Hum, I realize that support of LZOP was added after 0.7.0, so we never made a release with it (well except for git snapshot which may have been pushed). I wonder if the best is not to just drop the lzop option altogether and stick xz as a package dependancy until we have found a way to provide at the API level which compression options are actually available.
Opinions ?
Dropping lzop sounds good. It seems lzop is not very popular. We don't need that many choices.
Maybe even nuke lzma too before we're stuck with it forever. Technically, we can do that, since it was added only a month ago, also after 0.7.0:
v0.7.0-35-g2d6a581
Actually om my machine here lzma is provided as a backward compat option by xz, so yes I'm inclined to remove that option too: aphio:~ -> which lzma /usr/bin/lzma paphio:~ -> rpm -qf /usr/bin/lzma xz-lzma-compat-4.999.8-0.8.beta.20090817git.fc11.x86_64 I will post a patch later, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
