Dear Luigi Mantellini,
In message AANLkTi=0oeqVUYLDEq_XT2pWF=RfoQj7M3v38UyW7faX@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
The LZMA and XZ overlap on the internal LZMA code (each one has the own implementation). We can decide 1) to ignore this patch (and future rework) to not support XZ 2) have both XZ and LZMA considering them as different algorithms 3) Deprecate LZMA and (in the future) support just XZ.
My idea is to have 2) and in the future switch to 3).
History has shown that the "let me get this in now and I will clean up later" seldom works. Usually there is just toolittle time for the cleanup, and what for? It's working, isn't it?
So please me this 3).
Thanks.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
