The xz tools support both .lzma files and the new .xz format. The xz package ships with compatibility links so you don't even need to retrain your fingers: 'lzma', 'lzcat', etc, are all provided by that package. However, the xz package provides a different runtime library: liblzma supports encoding as well as decoding, both .lzma and .xz streams. The older liblzmadec library supports decoding .lzma streams only. However, as liblzmadec is in widespread use, it will continue to be provided as a backwards compatibility runtime (with development headers and link libs) for some time. See the accompanying announcement for xz for more details. [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This will most likely be the final liblzmadec0 update for the cygwin-1.5 distribution, and probably for cygwin-1.7, as well. Future development will continue with xz-4.999.8beta for cygwin-1.7. CHANGES (since 4.32.7-2) ======================== o Renamed source package to liblzmadec0-*-src; update .hint files for liblzmadec0 and liblzmadec-devel appropriately. o Replaced lzma package (and src) with empty files; new .hint forces installation of xz package. -- Charles Wilson volunteer lzma/xz maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
