Er, I was just pointing out that your conclusion ("lzma isn't the right
thing ... p7zip seems must faster and needs a lot less ram") is rather
dodgy because you used an option that lzma specifically warns against
using. From my own experiencd I know that lzma consumes much more
memory with -9 than with the default setting.
So though I'm certainly in no position to repeat these tests myself, I
think others should be wary of your results.

The intended use of this module is to create a web page with a bar code on it, which can then be printed out and faxed or mailed to someone who will scan the bar code. The application which spurred its creation was an expense report tool, where the employee submitting the report would print out the web page and staple the receipts to it, and the Accounts Payable clerk would scan the bar code to indicate that the receipts were received. . The default settings for this module produce a large image that can safely be FAXed several times and still scanned easily.

Why can't you run the test yourself? The linux-2.6.18 source is freely
available so you can use the same test data. The times might not
compare but compression ratio and memory used will.

Strange FTBFS of gcc-h8300-hms 1:3.4.6-2
Hi! I'm maintaining the gcc-h8300-hms package and had another upload of the package through my sponsor (I'm not a DD yet). However, unlike 1:3.4.6-1, it FTBFS (http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=gcc-h8300-hms;ver=1%3A3.4.6-2;arch=hppa;stamp=1169399342), which is strange for 3 reasons: - the differences to 1:3.4.6-1 should not affect the build process at the point where it fails - it fails due to an error in the system headers: /usr/include/sys/types.h:100: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers - while running configure in the subdirectories, the results vary, like: [...] Configuring in intl [...] checking for iconv... yes [...] Configuring in gcc [...] checking for iconv... no, consider installing GNU libiconv Is there any way to either get access to some hppa host or obtain the config.log files? Thanks a lot, Michael PS: I've sent this mail to hppa_at_buildd.debian.org and debian-hppa_at_lists.debian.org before, but didn't get any reply. pgpM5rSUwt6FT.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, if the short description is intended to be the one of your package, it is far too long. First of all, you do not need to repeat the package name at the beginning of the description. Then, you can replace the long list of operating systems by saying that ChessDB is multi-platform. As a result, you would have something like: Description: multi-platform chess database Then our users would know that they can invite their friends to use the same program on their favorite computer. Also, since the package would be in main, it is obvious that it is free. For the long description, you do not need to re-iterate the short description. How about listing the most important main features instead?
