Currently many of the package that are currently in use, have not been repackaged with .xz tarballs, so it's hard, we need to create a fallback for both bz2 and xz I think also it is unlikely that any packages that were released already will be repackaged. I think there was a transition period during which both bz2 and xz were being relased, but the recent packages are xz-only. To be fair, you only run into this if you try to update a package to a newer version than is currently in poky. Agreed, this does need to be address for the newer gnome archives. Best way to handle this would be to add a ${<pick a name>} to the replace the .bz2 part of the source URI and set a default =? ".bz2" in the gnomebase.bbclass, then as new packages using .xz format created, change the ${<pick a name>} in the packages's recipe file to be ".xz".
Can you please provide an appropriate patch?
Thanks
