[SUGGESTION] Add support for `.tar.xz` and `.zip` files

Open fxrysh opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When importing filesystems, is it possible to add support for .tar.xz and .zip files? Some Linux distribution doesn't release .tar.gz but instead .tar.xz (Void Linux and Gentoo for example).

Exporting can be the same (Export as .tar.gz).

Most of the time, after converting .tar.xz to .tar.gz, I get an error about UTF-8 paths in iSH. Which is inconvenient.

I have also been messing with various distros in iSH and have encountered the same issue.

So far, it has been quite difficult to find distros that:

  1. Support 32 bit operating systems
  2. Provide root/minimal filesystem tarballs
  3. Provide said tarballs as .gz (.xz is very common)
