Change Details

Lzip offers better compression ratios and archival features compared to more common `.gz` or `.xz` formats, and is being used by some software to package their distfiles, e.g. [[ https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/ | Gnuastro ]]. Proposed patch adds `.tar.lz` suffix support to our framework, since BSD `tar(1)` natively supports it.

Proposed patch adds `.tar.lz` suffix support to our framework, since BSD `tar(1)` natively supports it.
