Subject: bug#12382: Trivial change to have the 'tar' command recognize .xz files for auto-completion in the old shell mode
Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 15:12:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b11043151a98183627d3282f59c1c027.squirrel@smtp.thesiblingrevelry.net> (raw)

DESCRIPTION:

Old shell mode (not E-Shell, but 'M-x shell') does not recognize '.xz' as
a valid tarfile extension. This grows in annoyance as more and more
archives come in this format. This simple patch fixes the problem. The
change itself is five characters big; the rest is NEWS and ChangeLog.

-Joel
