Hello,
I'm working on adding lzip support to Duplicati in the form of .tar.lz files.
I need to shorten the file extension down to a single segment. Is there an
official recommendation for what that file extension should be? Following
convention set by other formats (e.g. tgz, txz), it would be tlz. Some places
on the internet (i.e. Wikipedia) list tlz as "plain" tar LZMA, so that could
cause confusion.
