Subject: bug#38256: Packages sources in '.tar.lz' archives
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:29:44 +0100

Hi,

Currently, when package sources are in a '.tar.lz' archive (e.g. ed,
wget, ddrescue, etc.), the 'lzip' package must be explicitly put into
the 'native-inputs' of the package definition, or building the package
fails.

Would it be possible to make the 'lzip' package available by default in
the build process, like 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'xz'?
