+Subject: [PATCH] reader: Support libarchive builds where RPM is a format
+
+libarchive is moving the RPM reader from a filter to a proper format
+(libarchive PR #2846), which drops archive_read_support_filter_rpm()
+from the public API in favour of archive_read_support_format_rpm().
+Distributions carrying that change (e.g. OpenEmbedded, which needs it
+for RPM 6 support) fail to build fuse-archive with:
+
+  lib/reader.cc:509:9: error: use of undeclared identifier
+      'archive_read_support_filter_rpm'
+
+Pick the available API at compile time. ARCHIVE_FORMAT_RPM is defined by
+archive.h only in versions that provide the new format entry point, so it
+is a reliable feature test.
+
+The new format appends the payload decompression filter itself based on
+the RPM PAYLOADCOMPRESSOR tag, so the remaining registrations are kept
+unchanged and stay harmless.
+
