Hi Daniel,
Happy new year! :-)

in Debian we've recieved a bug report that tarlz isn't supporting xattr
like tar.
It would be nice if tarlz could support both xattr and acls like tar
does, to make it (more of) a drop-in replacement of tar.
I have never planned to implement in tarlz support for the non-standardized
can of worms that are xattr and acls. The initial set of patches[1] for GNU
tar was pretty complicated and unportable, and it is still causing trouble
to tar maintainers[2].

Moreover, I'm now too busy to even think about it. But thanks for reporting it.
Best regards,
Antonio.
