Description: mkinitcpio 0.5.25 currently in testing
references optdepends=('lzma: Use lzma compression for the
initramfs image'
This should be changed to optdepends=('xz-utils: Use xz compression for the initramfs image' as lzma is no longer in Arch repos. |

It can even be changed to a depends as xz-utils is on core and
required by libarchive.

well, IMO the fact that xz-utils will be available on any machine
due to libarchive doesn't justify making it depends instead of
optdepends (but this is just cosmetic difference anyway).

Yeah, i agree with Roman. If its not the default kind of
mkinitcpio compression, it can always be an optdepend.

I just noticed today that I did this wrong. The package name
should be xz-utils, but the message should be the same, as the
kernel does not support xz compression, only lzma.
