Although dpkg will support extracting such binary packages for + the foreseeable future, creating them will eventually be disallowed. A + warning is emitted for lzma since dpkg 1.16.4, and for bzip2 since dpkg + 1.17.7. + . + For lzma, xz is the direct replacement. For bzip2 either gzip or xz can + be used as a substitute, depending on the wanted properties: gzip for + maximum compatibility and speed, and xz for maximum compression ratio. |
