Carsten Hey dixit: >IIRC bzip2 had a better compression. Compressing dpkg's changelog on >stable seems confirm this:
xz’s default compression level -6 is not good for files smaller than 8 MiB. Try -2 instead, maybe -2e (slower). Besides, it decompresses a lot faster than bzip2, so even in case of a (slight) size increase from bzip2 to xz, I’d choose xz every day anyway. bye, //mirabilos, wondering how many *.gz don’t use gzip -n9 either -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
