Question 10000 :)
Would there be any benefit at all to allowing tar.lzma inside source rpms? The compression benefit is kind of huge for a Linux kernel (it's one-fifth smaller here - 42MB instead of 50MB). For other packages too, while it would take longer (to compress an existing tarball from gz or bz2 to lzma) to WRITE packages, installing the source package would get much faster due to the faster decompression and multicore and what-not..
This kind of stuff is automatic on FreeBSD where the BSD tar (because it's based on libarchive) can work out what to decompress, whereas GNU tar seems a little lame in comparison..
You could probably do it, but bz2 is what's currently mandated by our build system. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkluO0wACgkQLPWxlyuTD7Io1ACdGf3WGdCcuvjCFuTll98bKX7z zOMAn02ERA7LfgNoHYugRNSfFwwvJMaP =kfxA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
