adding option to decompress tar.lzma cleanly
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged after maintainers rejected the GUI-dialog approach as outside Snapcraft's runtime model; the underlying tar.lzma bug remained tracked in Launchpad #1567524.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: Maintainers said source handling must not use a runtime GUI and directed the contributor to implement command-line lzma handling in a new PR. No merge or replacement PR followed, and the contribution was abandoned.
