All pre-make and compression tarballs now in unified format
Following the discussion in Task #15699 [1], all software that come
into Maneage will be archived in a unified format. To do this, the
downloaded tarball from each software's webpage (or the version we
already had) was put in an 'orig' directory, then the following two
commands were run (for example for xz version 5.2.5):
$ name=xz-5.2.5
$ tar xf orig/$name.tar.gz \
&& tar -c -Hustar --owner=root --group=root \
-f $name.tar $name/ \
&& lzip $name.tar \
&& rm -r $name/
But besides the formatting, the top directory within the tarballs is
now always just the name of the tarball without the 'tar.lz'. While
most software already follow that convention, some (like Zip or Unzip)
didn't. So they have also been corrected.
As one exception, for now, Make has not been updated because it would
have the same file name as before and we don't want to break any
dependencies (by modifying it, and thus its checksum). I tried
bootstrapping Make's latest commit (so the version identifier can be
different), but there was a bug when building the latest version on my
computer and it has been reported to its developers [2].
