does edge Linux support .xz compressed file collection?

Best answer by aperry304

Hey there, Nate. Natively, no it doesn't. Currently listed support is for: zip (DEFLATE only) gzip zstd *tar There is a workaround if you decompress it upstream into something edge can read*.

Do you have to use .xz or is it just what they are already?
