Hi all
any opinions to provide xz compressed tarballs? It has better compression ratio that gzip or bzip2, while it requires similar resources for decompression as gzip (and this much less than bzip2).
The script for creating releases and website is prepared for this, all what needs to be done is ensuring that xz-utils are installed on system, where relases are being done and enabling it in script creating release.
You can find more information on xz here:
