21 /** \brief Returns a vector of usable Compression Types
22 *
23 * Files can be compressed in various ways to decrease the size of the
24 * download. Therefore the Acquiremethods support a few compression types
25 * and some archives provide also a few different types. This option
26 * group exists to give the user the choice to prefer one type over the
27 * other (some compression types are very resource intensive - great if you
28 * have a limited download, bad if you have a really lowpowered hardware.)
29 *
30 * This method ensures that the defaults are set and checks at runtime
31 * if the type can be used. E.g. the current default is to prefer bzip2
32 * over lzma and gz - if the bzip2 binary is not available it has not much
33 * sense in downloading the bz2 file, therefore we will not return bz2 as
34 * a usable compression type. The availability is checked with the settings
35 * in the Dir::Bin group.
36 *
37 * \param Cached saves the result so we need to calculated it only once
38 * this parameter should ony be used for testing purposes.

50 * The special word "environment" will be replaced with the long and the short
