From a8144e96463a46854f6e305fa2fb1fbcd19f62d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tino Keitel Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:30:55 +0100 Subject: Bug#569917: Support base.tar.xz/bz2 as well as tgz Package: pbuilder Version: 0.203 Followup-For: Bug #569917 I cooked a little patch that adds a --compressprog command line option and COMPRESSPROG option in pbuilderrc. Tested with pigz, to get multithreaded, and therefore much faster compression/decompression, and xz.
