Fedora 12 has package lzma-libs which is generated by lzma-4.32.7-3.fc12.src.rpm.
Perhaps you should confer with the maintainer of the Fedora lzma package
if you desire a later lzma version (such as 4.65, 9.07 beta, or 9.10 beta.)

We have an out of date version that isn't getting updated upstream and
we have a replacement library that uses a different API but which can
probably do what you want with some wrappers.

I have an interest in this as well as the development version of squashfs
tools uses the latest SDK and won't directly work with either current
library.

Bundling it wouldn't be permitted.

Personally I'd like to see it replace the old lzma stuff, since xz provides
compatible utility programs and I don't think anything else is likely to
be using that library. Having three libraries doing almost the same thing
seems excessive.

Just for the record, we have a SevenZip package, which contains the
java part of the sdk from the above link. If you want to make a more
comprehensive package, let me know so that we can do the
obsoletes/provides/retirement in coordination.

Yeah, please package the LZMA SDK as lzma-sdk, the sooner we can get an
LZMA-enabled squashfs, the better! (The KDE spin could really use the saved
space!)
