Homebrew Version Not Compiled with XZ/Zstd/Other Features

Open AlexanderTheGrey opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

I installed the Homebrew version of DAR on Linux, and noticed that it wasn't compiled with XZ/Zstd support. Is there a way you can expand the compilation features of the Homebrew version so that other compression algorithms can be used?
