1 Hi all,
2
3 Currently there are ten packages using lzma in their USE and its always
4 used for the same purpose, providing support for lzma compression. And
5 as lzma compression gets more and more popular the number will increase.
6 What do you think about moving the USE to a global scope?

20 [- ] lzma (app-arch/libarchive):
21 Allow accessing lzma-compressed archives through the lzma library
22 (app-arch/xz-utils). This only affects libarchive's native support:
23 bsdtar will keep using unlzma as a filter if that's not built-in.
24
25 [- ] lzma (dev-libs/elfutils):
26 Support automatic decompression of LZMA-compressed files and kernel images.
27
28 [- ] lzma (gnome-extra/yelp):
29 Enables support for LZMA compressed info and man pages

31 [- ] lzma (kde-base/ark):
32 Enable LZMA/XZ archive support

44 Support for encodings provided by liblzma
45
46 [- ] lzma (sys-apps/man):
47 Uses app-arch/lzma-utils for the COMPRESS feature. Could also be used to
48 guarantee that lzma is on the system.
