In addition to reasons above, there are few stuff which requires lzma-libs actually.

I think that packaging just the libs and not the utils and gettiong rid
of the old version that packaged both but is based on an older SDK is
pretty reasonable.

Retiring lzma (completely) is a long-term plan, yes (I'm the maintainer
of it). Not sure about the right time -- F14?
I'll talk to the libarchive maintainer -- any other objections against
the plan to retire lzma for F14?

I think that would work well. If that happens, then I think replacing
lzma-lib with something that just provides the current lzma SDK as a library
would be nice. I haven't looked closely enough at that to be able to tell
if that is doable with just a spec file or if there should be a fedorahosted
project inbetween to provide some infrastucture for the package.

In fact libarchive doesn't require lzma-libs any more in F12 and F13.
For F11:
repoquery --whatrequires libarchive.so.2
PackageKit-glib-0:0.4.9-1.fc11.i586
libarchive-0:2.6.2-1.fc11.i586
kdeutils-6:4.2.2-4.fc11.i586
PackageKit-glib-0:0.4.6-8.fc11.i586
libarchive-devel-0:2.6.2-1.fc11.i586
Updating libarchive to the F12 only affects a few stuffs(soname unchanged).*
Ivana, Panu, Fabian: are your packages able to use xz instead?
(I guess in case of rpm this is just a relict, right?)
In all cases the lzma dependency is hardcoded, can hopefully be just
removed.
If yes, I can retire lzma as soon as we branch F13.

lzma itself already replaced by xz-lzma-compat several months ago.
xz-lzma-compat provides lzma=5.

Am I dumb, oh yes of course, this is since the xz review, sorry for

Well then we are safe to go.

I'll take a quick look over the weekend. We probably want to wait until
the branch next week anyway. I have been meaning to get back to squashfs-tools
in any case, as this gives me a way forward. If it looks like I can figure it
out, I plan on submitting a package for it.
Another related note is that someone wanted a src package for it because
they had something that would only build with access to the source. I am
not planning on providing that, but wanted people to be aware we had a request
for it.

The package that needs the src is the upx package. The coupling
is very strong, therefore a physical copy of the entire specific
version of lzma source was put into the source for Fedora's upx.
The URL for that lzma source was recorded, but not used as a SourceN:.
It is expected that the URL will become stale.
