How do I convert a BZ2 file to XZ?

Why should I convert BZ2 to XZ?

BZ2 (bzip2) and XZ (LZMA2) are both lossless compression formats, but XZ typically achieves 15-20% higher compression ratios, producing smaller files. Many modern Linux distributions and package managers (e.g., pacman, dpkg) prefer XZ for software distribution due to faster decompression and smaller download sizes.

Does converting BZ2 to XZ preserve file metadata?

Yes, the conversion is completely lossless. It decompresses the BZ2 data and recompresses it into an XZ container without altering the underlying file content. File permissions, metadata, and directory structure inside a tar archive are preserved, and no re-encoding of data occurs.
