Does ark support tar.lz?

Thanks.

Yes,

If TDE is patched for xz, then --lzma compression is supported in ark (see ksnapshot at https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/7c80e743d044 -- good for 30 days)

This was a godsend for konqueror/ark. If TDE hasn't patched yet, grab the path from opensuse - well worth it.

If you mean lzip version 1, instead of lzma, then No, even with the xz patch, the old simplified form of the 'Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm' (lzma) is not supported in konqueror or ark.

From tar's standpoint, that's the difference between --lzip (not supported) and --lzma (supported)
