Then I'd like to see a way to define the decompression commands. |

That is: with bsdtar you can avoid having gzip, unzip, cpio around, as it |
| 8 |
extracts the files using libarchive (which then uses libz and libbz2 for |
| 9 |
those files), so you can extract tar, tgz, tbz2, tar.Z, cpio and zip archives |
| 10 |
(and iso files) with a single command. |

If it was possible, I'd like to use bsdtar for all them and remove cpio and |
| 13 |
unzip packages (gzip is still needed for other things). |
