1 Hello.
2
3 I just set BINPKG_COMPRESS="xz" in /etc/portage/make.conf in order to
4 compress binary packages with the xz algorithm. It seems to work, but
5 binary packages filenames still end with .tbz2 instead of .txz. How can
6 I change that?

8 Example:
9
10 # file /var/portage/packages/media-sound/pulseaudio-10.0.tbz2
11 /var/portage/packages/media-sound/pulseaudio-10.0.tbz2: XZ compressed
12 data
13
14 I'm using sys-apps/portage-2.3.8.
15
16 Thanks.
