[opensuse-packaging] Speed up packging with parallel gzip, xz, bzip2, lzma
Hi, today someone pointed out that packing RPMS might take longer time than a real build, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2012-June/034161.html https://plus.google.com/101094190333184858950/posts/D9x87DkdceD We could get a significant speedup by parallel versions of compression tools: http://www.zlib.net/pigz/ http://compression.ca/pbzip2/ http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/pxz/ I probably wont have time to play with it anytime soon. Anyway, I wanted to share it here. Maybe, someone else might be interested. Hackweek is getting close, ...

This probably depends very much on the configured compression level.

As there's a high chance that this breaks deltarpms, I'm not really interested.
