+ Some ebuilds refer to source packages that upsteam release with formats |
| 32 |
+ different from tarballs (either gzip or bzip2), like ZIP or tarball |
| 33 |
+ compressed with LZMA. Right now, to unpack these, the ebuilds depend on a |
| 34 |
+ specific decompression tool like <c>app-arch/unzip</c>, even if the system |
| 35 |
+ might already have something like <c>app-arch/libarchive</c> that can |
| 36 |
+ handle it. A better way to handle this would be to have a set of virtual |
| 37 |
+ ebuilds that depend on at least one of a given set of tools that extract a |
| 38 |
+ format (like <c>virtual/portage-unpack-zip</c>), and a set of scripts that |
| 39 |
+ can find the best tool available on the system to do the unpacking. |
