Tag: uses-deprecated-compression-for-data-tarball
Severity: error
Check: deb-format
Explanation: The data portion of this binary package uses a deprecated compression
format. 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.
