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:
