Okay, I suggest the following patch removing the 2 extra compressors and making sure the package including the daemon, if compiled with qemu has the proper dependancies. xz package dependancy is IMHO a small price to pay: Size: 443012 to garantee reliability and bzip2 and gzip are so standard that it should not be a problem for anybody to list them explicitely.
The changes to the C code look fine to me. However seeing the added dependency on xz makes me wish for a "strongly-recommended" sort of tag, rather than a hard dependency on a tool that one may never opt to use.
Hum ... let's not start to discuss core rpm decisions :) I would say that we drag an impressive list of dependancies on other libs or low level tools and I doubt any deployement will ever be able to use them all. Honnestly xz is really one of the less intrusive of the lot !
ACK, in spite of that.
