I checked with the build farm, and lzma does *not* come by default with CentOS (hence RedHat); at least, there is no lzma command. wst...@boxen:~$ ssh centos32 Last login: Sun Nov 1 13:28:16 2009 from 192.168.1.1 wst...@centos53-32:~$ lzma -bash: lzma: command not found Redhat is fairly popular, so I think this is a serious problem. lzma does come with most other Linux distros.
