pixz package

The original PKGBUILD was taken from the archlinux with small changes

Do you want this as a msys2 package? Then the program will depend on msys2 DLL (fork of cygwin).

Considering the support windows patch, I would assume MINGW-packages would be a better location

[fshp]

By bad.
I first compiled the package with a mingw. And a patch was required.
But for the msys the patch is not needed.
I think the option without patches is better. Or pure exe is better?

If it compiles fine and works as expected without patch, then without patch is fine

I tried to build this with mingw. Only one function for detecting the core count needed patching, but the resulting binary produces corrupt xz archives.

Try the latest pixz version

I tried git master. but maybe I missed something..

pixz (https://man.archlinux.org/man/pixz.1)

NAME
pixz - parallel, indexed xz compressor

DESCRIPTION
pixz compresses and decompresses files using multiple processors. If the input looks like a tar(1) archive, it also creates an index of all the files in the archive. This allows the extraction of only a small segment of the tarball, without needing to decompress the entire archive.

hmm, nice 😃
