#36560: Use hfsCompression --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mfeiri@… | Owner: mfeiri@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.99 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: | --------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by jmr@…): Replying to [comment:16 mfeiri@…]:
Oh, when I created this patch there was no support for hfsCompression in libarchive. I just noticed that a couple of weeks later "experimental support for HFS+ Compression" was added to libarchive. Yay! I guess this means we can get rid of the additional round of i/o. Would you suggest to somehow depend on our port of libarchive or to import libarchive/bsdtar into the base macports distribution? Well, I guess using `${prefix}/bin/bsdtar --hfsCompression ...` would be simplest, but the disadvantage would be it could only be used after the port is installed.
