I just found an issue with the new xz code. If a package, like texlive, already uses xz manually to expand .tar.xz files it will fail to build with fink master now since the tarball has already been expanded. It does seem possible to make a package work with either version by checking to see if the expanded directory already exists in PatchScript but it is a PITA. It would probably be best to release this change as soon as possible and alter the few packages using .tar.xz at the same time. In any case, xz-using packages are currently broken under master.
