Description of problem: libguestfs has the tar-{in,out} and tgz-{in,out} commands for working with uncompressed and gzip-compressed tarballs. However, the xz tool (lzma compression) tends to have smaller disk space and comparable or even faster decompression. Therefore, it would make sense to have txz-{in,out} commands to natively support .xz compression. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ guestfish --version guestfish 1.0.85 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. guestfish -x alloc output.img 14M : run : \ sfdiskM /dev/sda , : \ mkfs ext2 /dev/sda1 : \ mount /dev/sda1 / : \ txz-in something.tar.xz / Actual results: txz-in something.tar.xz txz-in: unknown command Expected results: Create a disk image from the .xz-compressed tarball. Additional info: Workaround: Manually decompress the tarball, and fall back to tar-in instead of the requested txz-in.
