Fri 26 Jul 2019 06:48:04 AM UTC, comment #1: Hi Evan, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll consider adding the new option. Meanwhile, please note that you don't necessarily need shell pipe to create lz4 compressed archives. It is as simple as: tar -Ilz4 [other options] The -I (uppercase "i") option is used to run any compressor program not directly supported by tar.	Sergey Poznyakoff <gray>
Thu 25 Jul 2019 10:58:57 AM UTC, original submission: Currently, GNU Tar doesn't support lz4. Even if this action can be done via the shell pipe. However, it is not convenient. The version of GNU Tar I use is 1.32 . It would be awesome if there is an option "--lz4" as an alternative to "--zstd", "gzip", and "--bzip2" The version of Tar I used: 1.32	Evan Greenup <evgrup>
