tgz2txz is used to convert packages from slackware tgz format,
over to the new txz format used by slackware-current.
(as per ChangeLog Entry : Fri May 8 18:49:03 CDT 2009)
This script was orginally based on the rpm2tgz script written by
Patrick Volkerding.
FOR PEOPLE RUNNING SLACKWARE-12.2 (xz is of course part of -current)
NOTE: This script requires you to have xz installed n your
system. The best way is to download the source/a/xz/
slackbuild and source from a slackware-current mirror
and build xz from scratch.
You also may want to edit /etc/DIR_COLORS, so that
txz files show up properly as archives.
