But we do have a way for enforcing minimum versions, it just has to be done
at
the spell level. Depend on file in all of the xz-using spells and
force_depends
on it if the installed version is not good enough. We already have some code
in grimoire FUNCTIONS for this: is_version_less and
simple_version_check_force_depends (which should really be using the former).
Sorcery could always force an update of basesystem, but that'd be pretty
disruptive, since it includes the toolchain, potentially starting a cascade.
A
subset could work, but what else should be on the list? This is probably the
only chance for a clean solution in the long run. Adding depends on the
script
or spell would potentially never end.
And really, file has supported xz for a long while (late 2011 or earlier), so
I'm surprised you managed to hit the problem at all.
