Before the fix, if xz-utils was not selected,
tar and all packages depending on it
would be hidden and could not be selected.

📦 Package Details

Maintainer: @GeorgeSapkin @BKPepe
(You can find this by checking the history of the package Makefile.)

Description:

Before fix, tar depends on xz-utils by default, which makes tar and all packages depending on it hidden until xz-utils selected.

(24.10 Not affected by this.)

🧪 Run Testing Details

This is not a runtime fix.

  • OpenWrt Version:
  • OpenWrt Target/Subtarget:
  • OpenWrt Device:

✅ Formalities

  • I have reviewed the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed contributing guidelines.

If your PR contains a patch:

No.

  • It can be applied using git am
  • It has been refreshed to avoid offsets, fuzzes, etc., using
    make package/<your-package>/refresh V=s
  • It is structured in a way that it is potentially upstreamable
    (e.g., subject line, commit description, etc.)
    We must try to upstream patches to reduce maintenance burden.

Before the fix, if xz-utils was not selected,
tar and all packages depending on it
would be hidden and could not be selected.
