By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Timothy Pearson 2010-07-07 14:47:59 CDT
Ark should support .xz compressed files.

Some work was done towards this end, but was not completed:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/patching-kde-3-5-10-ark-to-support-the-new-package-formats-729604/

Apparently this feature is present in KDE4.3 and above.  It should be backported to Trinity.

An additional effort to provide this support are available in patches found here:

The patches compile but there remains no support of xz/lzma. :(
