Subject: update seamless uncompression code
X-Git-Tag: 1_20_0~47
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a6a2f9c9c214b94bd945acd97ac8b28c25e194e;p=oweals%2Fbusybox.git

update seamless uncompression code

This change makes "tar tf hello_world.txz" work without
adding special-casing for ".txz" extension. It also removes
ever-growing magic checking code in rpm2cpio and get_header_tar -
we reuse one which lives in setup_unzip_on_fd.
