Newer versions of lzma (see URLs below for packages) have changed their command line options. This breaks LinuxBIOS. Attached patch solves the problem.
NAK. That patch is broken. It refers to the wrong lzma utilities and will break every lzma compressed payload.
Why is this the "wrong" version? It was the most current one I could find and build RPMs from without wasting a man week of time.
The p7zip variant did not include a decompressor in C, so I went with the lzma sdk for compression. We might want to check which variant of lzma is present before we use it to compress a payload.
Note to self: Document that we're using latest lzma sdk and NOT the p7zip variant, which has incompatible command line syntax and incompatible compression format.
Good. Where can I download opensuse 10.2 RPMs for the non-wrong version of lzma?
As soon as somebody finds time to create a package. I have not checked yet whether other distributions (Mandriva etc.) supply the SDK or the p7zip version in their RPMs. If nobody has time, I'll look into creating packages after 2007-04-21.
