-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, The system script "/etc/cron.daily/suse.de-backup-rpmdb" uses gzip as compressor, when it could use something more modern like 'xz'. I changed it on my system and it works: # if gzip -9 < /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE > $NEWNAME.gz; then if xz < /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE > $NEWNAME.xz; then ... # rm -f $NEWNAME $NEWNAME.gz rm -f $NEWNAME $NEWNAME.xz It compresses to half the space (from 100 MB to 50 MB), and as there are several backups (I get 10) the saving is more important. What do you thing? The change is very easy to implement. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
