[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 0/2] Rewrite xz plugin as a filter.

Matt asked if xz should really be a filter rather than a plugin. The answer is yes, of course it should be! That's been something in the todo file for a while. The commit converts the xz plugin code into a filter (leaving the plugin around, but deprecating it). plugin: nbdkit xz file.xz filter: nbdkit --filter=xz file file.xz plugin: # can't be done filter: nbdkit --filter=xz curl url=https://example.com/disk.xz This is only lightly tested but it works for local files and for the curl example given in the commit message. Unfortunately because of the very large block size used in the Fedora cloud image, the curl example is barely usable. We should get them to use a more reasonable block size such as 16M (currently 192M). Rich.
