PATCH 1/1 Choose xz compressed tarball for linux kernel.

Hi:

This is a retry of previous patch, now inlined as requested. Patch is the same
as before so no patch version increased.

I wanted to apologize to Jerzy for my abrupt appearance: I had this patch
working some time ago and it was standing in my "to send" queue. I was also willing to contribute buildroot somehow.

Regards,

Thanks, but your commit log shouldn't contain "personal messages". It should contain a description of what the patch is. Basically, anything that's before the "---" remains forever in the Git history of Buildroot. If you want to put "personal" messages, or a changelog, or anything like that, please put it after the "---", or in a separate e-mail that serves as a cover letter.

Thanks!

Thomas
