Do not use Zstd archive format with repoctl add after updating pacman to 5.2.0 version

[canalguada]

repoctl add -m command just dumps the whole repository and leaves only the added package, when it uses the new Zstd archive format.

That could give somebody hell, I guess.

$ sed '/^$/d; /^#.*/d' $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/repoctl/config.toml
repo = "/home/canalguada/builds/repo/cgrepo.db.tar.gz"
backup = false
backup_dir = "backup/"
interactive = false
columnate = false
color = "auto"
quiet = false

Just add the console log, if it can help.

Wow, that's not good! Thanks for the report! I'll look into it.

[cassava]

I also sincerely apologize for your loss of data! :-(

I implemented some support for Zst compression on the devel branch.
Would you care to test it? If that works out I'll then release v0.19.

[canalguada]

Since I am not fool enough to throw away all the backups of what was required to rebuild the few packages that matter, there was no actual loss of data.

It's a sunny day… So didn't check much further. Looks pretty good.

Version 0.19 from -devel works with ZST-compressed file for me too.

[Vash63]

I can confirm that grabbing the latest commit from -devel works fine for me also.
